From an article by DJ Gallo on ESPN Page 2:
Dear Mr. Manners,
Sometimes, I think that my friends don't like me. They'll leave early. Or I'll invite some new acquaintance to get together and they'll turn me down. No matter how hard I try, I feel like an outcast. Am I doing something wrong? What if I smell or have halitosis or something? How would I know?

Dear East Feeling Least,
You say that you are trying hard, which is great in most circumstances in life, but that can actually be counterproductive when it comes to friendship. Desperation is a natural turn-off. Whereas being a winner naturally attracts people to you. I'd focus on being a winner and then everything will work out. Also, just to be safe, keep some breath mints handy.
