Did you ever have that rowdy, troublemaker classmate that constantly pissed off the teacher by chatting during lesson plans, cheating on tests or just ignoring her altogether? And all you ever wanted to say to the kid was "Dude, just do what you're told and you might actually pass!" That's kinda how we feel about Ronnie. He's so deep in his own cavernous pool of mistakes that he just keeps making more of 'em. Now, we're holding Ron to a higher set of standards than that loudmouth third-grade schoolmate of ours, but if he seriously wants to make up with Sammi, it's gonna take a whole lot more than flashing a smile. Well, hopefully. Here, five tips that we think can help the guy fix things:
1. Seek Professional Help For Compulsive Lying Disease
Ron has some serious issues with being dishonest, as in, he can't stop. (Come on, who deals with a three-way cheatfest by saying they're going to "Deny, deny deny"?) Deceit is a dangerous place to be, so perhaps enlisting the help of a therapist that can acquaint him with telling the truth will help.
2. Cut Back On The Boozing
Now, we don't necessarily want to tune in to "Jersey Shore" to watch Ron down shots of wheatgrass, but his alcohol-induced behavior is just way too nutty. But if he's only slightly tipsy, that will help him relate to his girl more calmly and rationally, so he can stop saying things like "I hate you so much, because I love you."
3. Trust Falls
Ya know, when one person closes their eyes, folds their arms against their chest and leans all the way back, relying on their partner to catch them? Just imagine how safe Sammi will feel if when Ronnie's there for her.
4. Create A Safe Word
No, we're not talking about role-playing, rather, we are suggesting a code word that they can use to alert the other person that their sh** is about to hit the fan. Example: Two episodes ago, when Ronnie was googly-eyed drunk at the club and Sammi was pouting in the corner, that would've been a great time for him to walk over to her and say [safe word], which basically would've notified her that he was one lap dance rejection away from calling her a bitch.
5. Go On A Date
Riveting thought, right? When's the last time these two went out and did something romantic, besides, ya know, getting Ron's obliques tatted? Once a week they should step out of the house, get all bronzed up and have a quiet night together. At a restaurant that's not connected to a club.
+ Think Ron has a shot at redeeming himself, or is it too little too late? Sound off in the comments!
