  • How This Guy Found Love



    (1) I checked her out in my math class. She seemed cute. She was sitting by herself with her Ipod in her ear, tilting her head from side to side with the rhythm. The whole day, I kept on thinking about how cute that moment was.

    (2) Approach her.
    Okay, this is probably the hardest part. Don't go for a pickup line. Just a simple question. Oh, it helps if you already know the answer.
    "Hey, what did you get problem 12?" As she progressed to help me, I nodded along. I had no idea what she was saying, really. I was right, she
    was kind of cute. "Okay thanks!" I just turned in the homework.

    (3) Ask her out to coffee or lunch.
    You've been talking to her once a week with the occasional, "Hi." She knows the first letter of your name. She knows you exist. If you think she likes you go straight for dinner. Otherwise, ease her in with coffee. I went with dinner.
    "Hey, do you have time to grab some dinner?"
    "Uh, sure. I gotta go somewhere right now, though. Later."
    The sound of crickets chirping in a nearby bush never felt so loud. I headed back for my dorms.

    (4) Accept that it's not you. Failures are just a part of life.
    After a few pints of ice cream, I got over it. Life's filled with failures, so don't get too discouraged. A few
     months later, I tried again. This time I was more specific:
    "Hey, how does dinner sound on Wednesday at 6:30? I'll meet you under Sather Gate. There's this really good place I know." "Uhm...." Thoughts rushed through my mind-- I hate ice cream. Ice cream is making me so fat-- I grabbed for my tummy fat. --Why is she looking at me funny? Why m I grabbing my fat? Oh no, what was I doing again?
    Oh yeah, asking her to dinner.    --"What was that?""Yes, I said okay."

    (5) Talk about something that will lead to a second date.
    Girls are like English professors because they both seem to like smooth transitions. On your first date, talk about something that will help you transition into a second date (I choose San Francisco). If you run out of things to talk about, memorize some jokes to help ease the awkwardness.
    "Have you ever been to San Francisco? It's so pretty there.""Not really. I usually just stay at my dorms.""I'll show you sometime!""Okay."..."Why is the tomato red?""Why?""Because he saw the salad dressing!"

    (6) Send subtle hints that you're interested.
    How? Well, I tried by folding her an origami heart. I'm not too artistic, so it took me about 30 minutes.
    "Here you go. This is for you.""Oh, those are so easy to make. I used to make them with my sisters back at home."..."What do you call cheese that's not yours?""What?""Nacho cheese!"

    Were your steps similar to mine? Improvements? Girls, would this work on you?
