To guyz: Makin' the first approach! Ever since stone age...if I'm not wrong...males have been the ones makin' the first move. Which results in wat is happenin' in the society today. Most pple have the opinion that guys shld be the ones to take the initiative. This which I think is very unfair coz YOU guys get to pick and choose us gals as if we are fish in the market! But its really takes alot of courage for a gal to date a guy out. So if a gal ever ask you out...try not to reject her unless you are really busy. Even if so, try to re-schedule it on another day. At least, dun malu the gal. Lets tok abt. guys makin' the first approach and wat normally goes wrong. Of coz I will not leave the gals out....read on! Most relations start out with conversations over the phone. Or at least this is wat most guys who are shy will do. Hmm...bet you hesitate and ponder like mad b4 you actually called up the gal. And than when you dial her phone number, your heart goes beatin' as if its goin' to jump out anytime! OKie..okie..relax, dun get so excited..its just a gal,...you're not tokin' to the President of America..hee... Always be prepared with a handfuls of conversation topics b4 you call up. This will be useful when you get tongue-tied. One very important thing durin' a phone conversation is to tok intelligent! At the same time..keep a tinge of humour there...but dun over do it! Or the gal might be thinkin'"Stop crackin' stupid jokes!" Nobody can stand it if you keep tokin' rubbish and makin' corny jokes. Stick to general topics where both of you have in common...dun go on chatterin' abt. the latest NBA match. The gal will probably be bored to death. Call at the rite time. Know when to get her so that she is free to chat. You can't expect her to chat with her mouth full or when she's still in dream-land. Try to call either in the afternoon or between 8.00 to 9.30 at nite. These two will be the most appropriate time. Lets get a step further than phone calls. How do you actually go abt. approachin' a gal durin' an outin' or gatherin'? How can you get to know her without embarassin' urself ? How do you express urself and not look like a stupid dumbo or sound like a desperado? Hee...wan to know the answers...read on.... Its is always important to know abit of body language... If a gal has had her hands crossed in front thru' out the trip...Do not make a direct approach! Unless you wan to take the risk of gettin' slap.*grin* Okie..I'm only exaggeratin'..in a case like that, it won't hurt to find out more about the gal from another friend. By approachin' her when she had her hands crossed in front, its means that you have invaded her privacy. First impression lasts and are the most important ones to any further developments, so make sure that the first handshake or smile that you give her is a most sincered one. Dun try to act cool...thats the worst thing that can happen. Gals can't stand guys who put on an deliberate act, tryin' to be cool and unconcerned. If you wan to leave a good impression upon the first time you meet the gal, be friendly, mix around more. Dun stick to the gal like super glue. You will make her feel most uncomfortable. By being friendly, you are actually givin' her the impression that you are a sociable and easy going guy. Do not rush into things...you dun wan to shocked the gal out of her wits by askin' her to be your girlfriend on a first date. No doubt some gals can take that, but my advice is to work on a friendship first b4 goin' on to any thing else. It is better if both of you get to know each other better than to rush into a relation and suffer later on. But if you are sure that you like this gal and will not regret your decision..go ahead! WAIT! Dun go off first...I still have something to say... Yooohooo..you still there..?..Great! Lastly...the golden rule to courtin' gals is FLOWERS! You may think that it is old fashion and only dumb guys give gals flowers..but you are wrong. I can say that no gals on earth can resist the charm of flowers. With that in hand, you're on the road to success! Pls: All those out there who knows who I am please kindly keep ur big mouth shut...I wish to remain annoymous...okie? See ya!
