Say you’re on a date or just alone with a girl you’re into and building attraction. What can you do if you can’t come up with things to say? As we discussed before the awkward silences aren’t all that bad. If she’s not running off she’s into just spending time with you. She wants to be around you. However you can play a game of some sort to build closeness and comfort. Try this:

  1. Start off by saying you heard of a cool trick from your friend that you’d like to test out with her.
  2. Put out your hand, palm up and say: “My friend Jill’s mother has three children.”
  3. Point to your thumb using your other hand (or use your other hand to wiggle it) and say “The first one is Thomas.”
  4. Point to your ring finger and say “The second is Roger.”
  5. Point to your pinky finger and say “What is the third child’s name?”

She will probably try to guess a few times, with some play on pinky, but she’s wrong. The third one is Jill, because it’s Jill’s mother and she had 3 children. Let her make the guess and then ask to see her hand, say it will make things clearer.

Repeat the process on her hand. If she still can’t guess, tell her to close her eyes and forget about the hand. This time say “JILL’s mother has three children.” emphasizing JILL’s. This should clear things up for her and you can have a good laugh.

If she still doesn’t get it, keep her in suspense and say you’ll tell her next time.

The biggest mistake guys make when it comes to “their look” is to either copy someone else’s look identically or to just wear a bunch of stuff they like or are comfortable in. It’s not about having the most expensive clothes! Most women I’ve talked to, outside the most shallow, will tell you they prefer a guy with his own sense of taste, his own “look”, to a guy that just has some expensive stuff. Just because your shirt cost $200 doesn’t do anything for you if you’re also wearing sweat pants or gym shorts, or are otherwise mismatched. If you have lots of money you COULD follow fashion fads, but be prepared to blow through tons of money as fads come and go.

Sites like mine are here to explore various strategies, rules, protocols, and behaviors of successful daters. People often tell me their date went badly or that girls lose attraction when they’re with them. A friend may describe his behavior to me and I can see that his neediness drove away the target of his affections. I can usually point out what he did wrong. I can make a suggestion and offer advice.

If you’re constantly striking out, not approaching women, or women are interested but quickly lose interest, this article is for you. Your friends may suggest that you be your self while at the same time pitching you protocol and advice. While their and my own advice may be great advice, we must discuss a reality… Read the rest of this entry »

I posted this on a social networking site sometime ago, but thought it would be great here too. I have friends that complain about losing a girl they were dating when she became distant. They tried everything, calling all the time, asking them out over and over, sending gifts, chasing them on facebook, etc… This amazes me. Guys never seem to know what to do and start overcompensating not realizing their absurd behavior will drive the female away. You can’t be overcompensating for everything and trying to micromanage people in your life, while expecting them to stay. Read the rest of this entry »

There are literally billions of women on this planet. If you find yourself stuck on one female, you can give her a shot. If she’s not interested, while it’s possible you will win her over some day, you shouldn’t stop dating. In fact you may find that if you put yourself out there and she sees you with other people it will get her interested in you, if she never saw you as a potential mate. If not at least you had some fun dates with other women, and who knows after a few dates you may find yourself no longer thinking about the girl you were stuck on. It’s unhealthy to obsess and being obsessive won’t turn that one special lady on, it will drive her away from you quicker than an STD.

If you’re just starting to date, but don’t know where to start you should start with yourself. You need to figure out what your weaknesses are and what your strengths are.

Once you have a little free time make a basic list and answer some simple questions. Read the rest of this entry »

So you’re started talking to a woman. The conversation goes great. You talk, she talks, she’s beautiful, intelligent, everything you like, but suddenly the conversation starts to die down. You may freak out and start second guessing yourself, wondering why it happened and what it means. Awkward pauses are NOT bad. You’re building comfort and she’s obviously into you and sticking around. If she didn’t like you at this point, she would excuse herself and leave. So if she sticks around during the lull, you’re good to go. Stop worrying and just do your thing, it’s your chance to use the pause to make a real connection with her by using one of your routines.

Kata Robata is a good place for a casual date with a lady friend. If you and your lady are fans of delicious sushi this restaurant is here to cater to your tastes. Dishes are very unique including foie gras nigiri. I really like their nigiri specials and loved their New Zealand salmon. Their sake selection is excellent including one of my favorite bottles of Wondering Poet.

Nothing wrong with gaming, but the ladies don’t like it so much unless it’s a very special rare lady that does ;-)

You need to practice disqualifying women that you approach. Make the woman feel that you’re not attracted to her. While this may appear to be counter intuitive, it will work. The average guy is always trying to attract women and he appears needy. This neediness is always an unattractive quality. By default if you approach a woman, you’re being needy, because you’re chasing her.
