How to Leave a Good First Impression on Your First Date

Welcome from the Green Screen TV Team! My name is Jonathan, and I am going to share with you an idea for our TV pilot for the upcoming reality show on first dates! :)

First dates are often nerve wrecking especially if two people have little information about each other.

First Dates: Very, very important.

First Dates: Very, very important.

This means that you may not know what your first impression is about each other. First impressions may be positive but on the other end, can be negative. This is the very reason why we give great importance to first impressions.

They say that first impression lasts so you might as well stick to this principle. According to a SeductionFAQ it takes only minutes for a girl to determine if she likes you or not, so make sure that your first date counts. A first impression may be dependent on the nature and flow of your first date and how you handle it with ease and confidence. Here are some tips on how to leave a good impression to your potential lifetime partner on your first date… courtesy of our brainstorming session here at Green Screen HQ ;)

  • Tip no. 1: Always make a good choice of words. Sometimes, it can’t be helped to leave an opinion about things or about your date. These opinions can already be one factor that can formulate a first impression. For example, if you find the dating place a little quiet and a bit lacking of romantic ambiance or in short, not your type of place, you have to honestly say it to your date. It should be honest and straightforward but not in a way that can hurt his or her feelings. It would also be better to ask your date first about what he or she thinks about the place. If you both have the same opinion, then you can be safe to suggest a better place. Do not immediately suggest another place as this may already mark a negative impression. It might mean that you are too choosy and might reflect a personality that could possibly be difficult to deal with. Again, ask first and look for hints of similar opinion before you proceed to your next possible options. There are other situations that call for a good choice of words. You may find it a little difficult at first since it makes you a little conscious about yourself and about your date’s first impression about you. At this point, maybe it can help to always remind yourself to relax.
  • Tip No. 2: Always have positive vibes. Since it is your first date, always provide a bigger space for positivity and as much as possible do not allow negative vibes to ruin your date. In other words, do not let a few negligible mistakes affect the way you look into your date. For example, if he or she says something you don’t like, just let it pass at first. Do not immediately jump into a conclusion of having a negative impression about that person. Maybe he or she does not practice the good-choice-of-words principle so you just have to understand. Trying to leave a good first impression is not that easy and it may end up on the opposite end. The best way to leave a positive impression is to always have positive vibes.

Now What?

Finally, do not expect anything from your date. Remember, experience is the best teacher so leave things as learning experiences– both good, or bad. Just don’t settle for anything less or lower your standards just to be happy. If your first date is a success, that’s a good start. If not, as long as you follow these tips, the problem is not you at all.

How to Dress Up for a Date: A Quick Lesson on Fashion

It’s easy for the average man to forego being fashionable most of the time. Not a few men I know think that there’s really no need to be “fashionable” simply because they’re men. Even my boyfriend is guilty of this sort of reason.

But hey, it does not hurt to look good either! You don’t have to go and become the male versions of Lady Gaga just to be able to express yourself through fashion. You can be simple and fashionable, rocking outfits that suit you, make you look better than you usually do, and boosts your confidence! Because that’s what fashion is supposed to do: make you look and feel better.

This is especially important when you’re going out on a date. While looks are never a good basis for judging personalities, it helps in making a good first impression if the girl sees that you are dressed well and you are confident about yourself. It even taught a friend how to get a girlfriend in college.

So here’s to men who need to learn how to dress up properly for and outside of dates, and some valuable lesson on fashion do’s, don’ts, and never-get-caught-in-it fashion mistakes.

  • Wear something your size. This is not the 90s son. Wearing a shirt that’s 40x your actual size will make you look like you’re gunning for a mascot job at McDonald’s. Oversized shirts are now in The Never-Wear List. Or wear pants that could fit you and your mother only to wear it around like your waist is just an inch above your knee (luckily for us women, restaurants these days are banning these fashion disasters). And yes, don’t think you can get away with clothes that are too tight either. We seriously don’t need to know where your nipples exactly are in that shirt you’re wearing. (PS: is that your daughter’s shirt?)
  • They are called underpants for a reason. Keep it inside; we really don’t need to see how much you love Batman.
  • Sneakers are never good for dates.
crocs

Crocs are really comfortable, but save them for the beach or the park.

  • Neither are Crocs.  Go for loafers and boat shoes if you’re going out for dinner or for pairing with your shirtdresses.
  • Prints on prints are never a good combination. The only excuse I can think of for allowing to pair a striped tie with patterned shirt is for a New Year’s Eve party or a children’s party and you happen to be the clown. Bold print on bold color or bright colors in everything is never a good thing either. Here’s a rule that has saved countless women: get one item of clothing as the highlight piece in your ensemble, and mute everything else as complimenting pieces. Get a flamboyant tie to go with a pastel shirt, or go for a loud shirt with a discreet coat and tie.
  • Accessorize. There’s nothing wrong with a bracelet or two to go with your watch. You can even
    watch

    Accessorize conservatively.

    add a ring. Nobody said you have to wear every piece of jewelry or accessory all at the same time. Unless you’re a walking jewelry safe that is. Please don’t notify everyone in the room of your arrival by the clanging of your necklaces and bracelets.

And best of all, go for comfortable fashion. Your most luxurious, most grandiose and most “fashionable” of clothes would go to waste if you don’t get to wear them properly simply because you’re not comfortable wearing them.

How to Spruce Up an Inexpensive but Romantic Date

There just are days when our wallets’ capacities are shorter than our romantic intentions and advances. Even in this day and age where men and women are deemed equal, people especially women still expect you dear gentlemen to ask us out and to shoulder the bill.

What do you do when you’re dying to take your lady friend out but you don’t have the budget for it? Or if her purse is bigger than yours? How do you give her that romantic date she won’t forget without you having to take her to McDonald’s or feed her crackers all night?

The answer: a little bit of creativity and a 5-course dinner from scratch right at your very own home.

Here are some tips to achieve the perfectly inexpensive romantic dinner date at home:

  • Start with a clean house. Vacuum and polish the floor, dust the windows and the furniture, rearrange the couches and put everything where they need to be placed. Putting on some new curtains should also spruce up the look of your entire house. Having a clean house won’t get you panicking at the thought of her picking up a random item tucked in between the sofa cushions that could be last month’s Cheetos package or yesterday’s undies.
  • What you can’t achieve with the food, make up for with the ambiance of the room. Stage your house – mostly the living room and the dining room – for your most romantic date yet. The secret is to touch on all the senses. Use velvety duvets to cover the couches, have her walk all over flower petals on the floor, light up some lilac or vanilla scent sticks an hour or so before she arrives, and ditch your bright fluorescent lights for some romantic holiday lights. And never forget the music – make up a playlist of her favorite songs and your most romantic song choices.
homedinner

Home dinners are as special as dinners in fine dining restaurants when well-prepared.

  • Arrange the table a la fancy restaurant. You may have to borrow Grandma’s heirloom china and cutlery, Aunt Mary’s fanciest table cover and napkins, and mom’s prized candelabra’s to pull this one off. Scatter some old sequins and beads from your sister’s old Home Economics project on the table with some flower petals.
  • Pick simple dishes for each course and don’t forget to pick up the wine. Your dishes can be straight off the supermarket if you’re no cook. You can easily get good enough fresh salad and dressing at your fresh produce section, and the regular microwave lasagna. The key is on presentation. And dessert could be as simple as brownie a la mode – a slice of brownie topped with vanilla ice cream. Pick an inexpensive off the shelf brand of wine and serve in Mom’s delicate goblets.
  • Don’t forget to give her some flowers. They don’t need to be expensive! Get whatever is in season or get one off a street vendor. Again, like most everything else about this date, it’s all about effort and presentation.
  • Seal the deal with a good helping of your great personality and watch her get awed by the magic you’ve spruced up in to give her a 5-star date. Remember, it’s almost always the small things that turn women on the most, and the slightest efforts will likely be well appreciated.

Dating: The 5 Women You Should Avoid

Whether you’re a player or a regular, good ol’ boyfriend material, there just are women that you should likely avoid – by all means – when looking for girls to date. It’s not enough that you know how to pick up women. It’s important to know which types to pick up.

Just as girls run and hide at the first sight of a player, a douchebag, or a manipulator, there are also types of girls that you should keep off your list of ladies.

The Magic 5

  • Gold digger – ahh but of course you should be avoiding her! Well, if you don’t drive your own car, wear a designer brand from head to foot, and look as polished as a brand new Ferrari, you should have no worries about falling prey to this woman. She has a very, err, expensive taste. And yes, she could tell a fake Rolex from a 5-meter distance. If you are an up and coming yuppie, a forthcoming athlete, or whatever sign that says ‘I’m bound to be rich’, you are a good prey. Know what’s in a gold digger’s mind. It could help. And yes, you will always have to shoulder the bill for every single time you’re out and she expects you to pick her up with a car and take her to anything with 4-stars or up.
girlstoavoid

Vain and self-centered women should be avoided at all cost.

  • Ms Universe – she cares about nothing and no one but herself. She does not find any other interest and she has personified the word “vain” and “self-centered”. She is always competing with the other girls she sees around and more often than not, she cares less about you and more herself. Every. Single. Time. She wants to be the center of attention and she can’t accept being overshadowed by anyone else – even you. If you are looking for a long term relationship, she may not be the one for you. Sure she may be a good candidate for a trophy wife but you may end up having to pay for her countless nose jobs.
  • Doting Mother – she tells you what to do, where to eat, what to wear and she tells you what to do in bed. You can hardly pick which boxers you should wear because, well, she’s already prepared it all for you. At some point it is okay but more often than not, it ends up choking you in the long run. You lose your own sense of identity and you would end up feeling like you are losing your sense of satisfaction because she has already set it up for you.  At first, it seems so sweet and caring but you might end up having to rediscover yourself that she would have drowned.
  • Too Much, Too Soon – Dating one week and she’s already dropping the L word to you. In two weeks, half of her stuff is already in your apartment. And after a month, she’s been visiting your parents on weekends for “family lunches”. They are usually very exciting in the beginning but you may end up being forced into a half baked relationship because she has gone on ahead way before you’re ready. If she gives in to sex too easily, that’s a red flag. Remember, there are other things you can do without being sexual.
dramaqueen

If drama is not your thing, stay away from the drama queen.

  • Miss Emotions – she cries over the smallest things, goes dramatic over the most mundane of things, and threatens you with an emotional breakdown at the slightest hint of a fight. And when you try to break up with her, she might stalk you or even resort to hurting herself just to stop you from leaving.

5 Ways to Show Her Your Love Without Being Sexual

Did you know that you can show your woman that you love her even without having sex?

If that’s surprising to you men then you clearly have a lot to learn about love and women. See, being in bed in the best lingerie pleases mostly you, and your pleasure pleases us. But to truly please a woman, to truly make her feel special to you, takes more than some hours of lovemaking in the bedroom.

There are several other ways to “make love” to your woman – wife or girlfriend – without having to get naked at all. Here is my list of top 5 ways to do it:

  • Cook for her. Whoever invented the saying “the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach” is probably a man. And he must have totally forgotten that it is the same for the woman. There’s nothing sexier than a man who slaves away in the kitchen all to make his ladylove happy and nourished. And did you know that there are good reasons why couples should cook together? Doesn’t matter if it’s just bacon and poorly sliced bread and cheese. Or supermarket pizza dough and what-have-you’s for toppings.  For women, it’s not even how impressive your presentation is or how high class your food is. It’s always the thought that counts.
massage

A simple touch can convey so much love.

  • Give her a massage. (Okay this may be a little deviant from when I said “does not need to be naked” earlier because at some point you may want to remove her shirt for this.) Did you know that babies who are given regular massages by their parents grow up happier, stronger children who are secure about themselves? That’s because a simple touch can convey so much love – even more than words can say. Just some other way to use your bodies to show your love for each other eh? This is also one of the sonic attraction tips you must know. Doing this when she looks really stressed out or on lazy weekends together will definitely leave her more relaxed, feeling more loved and more secure about your relationship. Couple it with some good scents – lavender, mint, cinnamon, vanilla, anything. Then play some music to improve your relationship more.
  • Leave her note every day. Who says it has to be cheesy or expensive? Leave her a short email, a morning text (yes, even when you’re living together), a Facebook post, or even a short handwritten note saying how beautiful she is today, or that you love her, or that you can’t wait to see her again at the end of the day.
  • Dedicate a whole day for her. Set a day each month that you would drop everything and be hers all the way. Shop with her, cook or buy her favorite food, do her chores, put her favorite movies on marathon, play her favorite songs, basically just spoil her without a word of complaint. It’s just a single day a month. (PS: this works perfectly when she’s on PMS so keep track of those red days).
  • Listen to her. Ever heard of the joke about the male prostitutes? They are guy hookers who offer to listen to women, not get in bed with them. Yes, because we love being listened to. Listen no matter how boring or shallow our stories are. Listen because we have something to say.

How to Test Your Compatibility on the First Date

Hi guys! So I’ve written a couple of articles relating to the first date – like how you would make a good impression and what topics you should start – but I have another first-date article in mind right now. I’m thinking of making it into a series actually.

Oh we humans of the impatient kind! We can never wait for a next time to find out if things work between us and our dates. We always have to rush things, to know things sooner for fear of running out of time and chance to do it.

compatible

For most of us, we strive hard to know if we’re compatible right on the first date.

For most of us, men and women, we always strive hard to know how compatible we are with our dates right on the first date. And, well, we can never really blame ourselves, really. We wouldn’t want to waste so much time trying to know someone we wouldn’t end up happily with anyway!

So how do you know you are compatible with someone right on the first date? How do you know if a girl thinks you are compatible too? Here are some tips and questions that will help you answer these questions:

  • Ask. But of course. NatGeo has always advocated about us asking questions to get answers. But of course it’s not just about plainly asking; it’s about asking the right questions to more or less arrive at the right answers. Oh, and how you ask it too! You can’t just ask her like a Fed agent to a human trafficking suspect. Make everything light and fun – “what do you do?” “what are you looking for in a man?” “what are your pet peeves?” “what turns you on the most?” “where do you like hanging out on weekends?” “favorite food ever?” it lets you know what she likes and don’t like plus you can assess the kind of person she is based on how she answers.
date

Observe her body language, it tells a lot.

  • Observe. Observe the way they act around you. Is she eating too sloppily for your taste? Is she too uptight for you or is it the other way around ? Is she even comfortable sitting acrossyou or answering your questions? How does she shrug off questions she doesn’t want to answer? Does the kind of language she uses fit your taste? Observe the little things for they will tell a lot. Even the way she rests her arms tell you a lot. By the way, I’ve found some people who could help you learn the tricks of the trade. Go to SIBG’s official website and treat yourself to new techniques you can use in the future.
  • Engage. Don’t think she’s the only one who’s being observed ‘coz you are too mister. She is observing you too you know. And if you’re too busy observing her and you forget to engage, chances are she’ll think you guys aren’t compatible even when you can see otherwise! So be real, be you, be true so you give her the benefit of getting to observe you as accurately as well.
  • Get another date. Sometimes, the first date just does not tell much. If you’re really interested but you just can’t quite test the waters enough, go ahead and ask her for another date. For tips on how to set up a second date, I’ve found this article on Saga. And if she says no, well, there’s your answer on how compatible you guys are (or would have been).

Life does not end with a single bad date or incompatibility with one woman. Go ahead and test the waters and be awesome while at it. Oh wait, no I didn’t mean go play around! Have fun boys!

How to Seduce a Girl on the Phone

phone call

Handy tip: women like funny men.

Why is it so important to learn how to seduce a girl on the phone in the world of dating? Well, generally speaking, you will eventually have to call the girl that you like after she gives you her number, right? This would be especially vital if you worked extra hard just to get it in the first place.

One reason why so many guys screw up while trying to learn how to seduce a girl on the phone is because they do not know much about dealing with the actual phone call to begin with. So, what can you do to make sure that the girl that you call won’t regret giving her number to you?

There is actually one particular secret when it comes to this – and it is an easy one at that: you basically just have to follow your instincts and use similar methods to the one that you used in getting her number. Here are some basic steps that you can follow to guarantee that your first phone call to your dream girl will be worth your while – and hers:

Step One: Be funny.

One thing and the first thing to remember: Women like funny men. Now, being funny while learning how to seduce a girl on the phone doesn’t just mean that you have to succeed at making her laugh. Although you will have to wow her with your sense of humor, you will also have to ensure that you feel confident the minute you pick up the receiver and take some risks during the phone call itself.

This would be especially important if she gave you her number because you were funny on the day or night that you met. So, try to recall what type of guy you were portraying when you met and be that same guy again. If you are completely different to her memory of you, then you can kiss your dream girl goodbye right away.If you’re confused, try to focus and review your lessons. I refer to this article from time to time.

Now, if things start to fall apart during the phone call, then you need to be prepared to laugh at yourself. In general, all you really have to do here is keep her interested and entertained at all times. If you succeed at doing that, then you can be sure she will stay interested in you for long enough for you to get a date or two out of her.

Step Two: Be stimulating.

Sense of humor aside, if you want to learn how to seduce a girl on the phone, you have to show her that you are interesting to talk to, as well. So, before telling a story or an anecdote, make sure you polish it up, dust it off and ensure that it will keep her mesmerized from beginning to end. If you do this well, then she won’t mind talking to you for hours on end.

Another thing that you can try while learning how to seduce a girl on the phone would be a type of hypnosis called fractionation. This method is actually used by various seduction artists to make girls fall in love with them in mere minutes. Believe it or not, this method can completely mesmerize a girl with mere words and make her fall for you in no time. Try it!

TheGreenScreenTV Exclusive: How to Seduce Your Neighbor

Hey guys, to some this might sound funny. But you’ll never know how hard it is until you get a drop-dead gorgeous neighbor. For those who don’t have this kind of neighbor, I feel sorry for you. Better luck next time. For those who have, read on…

Have you been crushing on the girl next door for a while now? Are you not sure how you should approach her? Are you scared that she will reject you straight off the bat? Then you are reading the right article. A lot of guys fall for their neighbors. So, if you want to learn how to seduce your neighbor, then you definitely aren’t alone.

neighborhood

Crushing on a cute neighbor? Know how to handle it.

Since you see her every day, it only makes sense that you end up attracted to her. There is a drawback to learning how to seduce your neighbor, though. Since you are probably convinced that you won’t get to win her over, your relationship with her so far is probably already an awkward one.

You should know that learning how to seduce your neighbor can actually be very easy, though. You simply need to know the right tips and tricks to use. Once you do, then you could end up with a girlfriend who conveniently lives right next to you for easy peasy access.

Here’s how you can win her over:

1. Make her feel comfortable in your presence. One common mistake that guys tend to make as they try to seduce their neighbors is to ask them out without getting to know them first or even trying to make them feel comfortable in their presence first. Well, unfortunately, girls won’t open up to you and won’t want to be in a relationship with you if they aren’t comfortable around you to begin with.

To make your neighbor feel comfortable in your presence, you have to make her feel comfortable in your house. Invite her to come over one day and just let things go from there. A visit to your house happens to be one of the most important parts when it comes to learning how to seduce your neighbor – remember that.

By the way, women hate mess. Well, generally. Although women love cleaning, you wouldn’t want her to end up like your mom. So before inviting her to your house, cut the clatter first.

neighbors

Make her feel comfortable around you first before asking her out.

When you finally get her to come over, make sure you put on the right music. Much better if the music blends with the house, which means she wouldn’t consciously notice there’s music, but she’s getting the hype.

Once she feels comfortable hanging out in your house, your chances of making her fall in love with you and go out with you will be much higher. You just have to make sure that you get her to come over because she wants to, not because you threatened or forced her to.

2. Use the power of hypnosis. Once your neighbor feels at home in your house, your next step would be to use the power of hypnosis to win her over. All that this really means is that you have to start talking about her feelings and personal memories, so that she will end up feeling closer to you in the end.

These days, there are a lot of information available for men on how to seduce women. Click here for more info.

Now, while she talks about all of these personal things in her life, make sure that you touch her elbow and anchor her towards you. By doing this, you can actually get her to think of you in a positive light all of the time and boost your chances of winning her over eventually.

Remember: you aren’t the only one who wants to learn how to seduce your neighbor. It isn’t even hard to do. Just follow the aforementioned tricks and tips and you can win your neighbor over in no time.

How’s the Weather? (And Other Topics You Could Bring Out on a First Date)

So you’ve mastered all your seduction techniques and managed to pickup a girl you like. (By the way, here’s a funny blog post that caught my attention today.) But what to do AND talk about on your date?

Boys, remember this rule: You are expected to initiate the conversation.

A lot of guys forget this. And usually it’s the shy good guy types who do this. Your speechlessness, gentlemen, does not make women think that you are so stunned by their divine beauty. No, no, no.

Au contraire, it actually makes them feel like they’re less than interesting.

The first date is not about too personal and too intimate questions. It’s like the first round of the boxing fight – you are still kind of getting a feel of each other. U, you knock them out on the first round and you’re done. You go too slow, you both get bored, and you’re done. It’s about pacing the conversation just right so both enjoy the night and each other’s company, without having to divulge too much of ourselves. That’s the kind of thing that women reserve for the next date.

So here’s a list of things that you could bring up on a first date to start up a conversation:

Music – ahh, but it wouldn’t be called the universal language for nothing. Everyone has his own taste in music and so that’s something that could really start a conversation. A simple ‘so, what kind of music are you into’ would go a long way, that is, if you know how to make a follow up question and remark. For more fun, check out whether your music personality match here.

Local and Global News – okay, so maybe the global news is something so outlandish if you both aren’t into that thing (or if you do not know anything about it). Maybe you can start with something local that anyone in your area knows without having to open the TV. Say, ‘did you hear about the closing of the university downtown?’ Of course, if it’s local news, chances are she knows something about it, or knows someone affected by it.

Common Friends – this is especially helpful if you guys have been introduced by a common friend. Do you know *insert common friend’s name* brother who just got married? Chances are, you know more people in common and well, it’s always fun to talk about people. (Sshh)

happy date

What you talk about on your first date can make or break you. So be on the safe side.

Something you notice about her – maybe she’s using an iPhone. So you ask, ‘were you always an iPhone user?’ or maybe her watch looks familiar so you say ‘Is that a Philip Stein? It looks just like my sister’s’ or something like that. But careful not to sound too critical. Unless you are both working as lawyers, political analysts, economists, moralists, philosophers, avoid topics like morality, philosophy (the academic type), politics, religion, economy, and other debate-triggering topics. Or if you’re a rich guy, she might feel you’re insulting her. The last thing you want is end up in a heated argument with her and say goodbye to your chances of seeing her again.

Choosing the right topic does not assure success. How you interact in the conversation – how you answer, the kind of answers you give, your follow up questions – also matter. And remember: keep it cool and natural and you might just have to prepare for a second date sooner than later!

How to Get Out of the Friendzone

I think I’m in a good mood for writing today. When I was in college, I had a big crush on one of my friends. She probably noticed it ’cause she immediately made it clear that I am her best guy pal. She really had to rub it in. Anyway, I was really devastated then so I tried to avoid her all together. Years later, she confessed to liking me, but was afraid she’d lose me if I knew. Holy guacamole! Well, whatever, we’re back to being friends and who knows?

———————–

“I like you! I really, really do. You’re the greatest guy friend I’ve ever, ever, ever had. I hope you never change…”

Does that sound familiar? Did your heart just die on you after hearing that from the girl of your dreams?

Getting out of the friendzone is tricky but not impossible.

Getting out of the friendzone is tricky but not impossible.

No buddy! You can still get out of it – ALIVE! We’ve seen people do it, we’ve seen them come out of it and find their true happiness soon afterwards. There is still hope! It’s totally not the end of the world when the girl you so admire looks at you as her best friend.

So, okay, here are two scenarios: (a) you get out of the friend zone and still snag the girl or (b) you get out of the friend zone with a totally different girl and you’re so much happier.

Getting the Most Out of Getting Out

A. Get out of the friend zone and still snag the girl
This is pretty challenging since in part, she’s already rejected you. Even after you incorporated music to improve your relationship. With a little persistence and a lot of patience, though, I’m sure you’ll get by. The secret here is not about how hard you work at making her feel special – you’ve practically done all that from doing her homework to fixing her PC to buying her an emergency tampon. It’s about getting her to see your value that she ought to have seen right from the start.

Three essential things to pull this one off: more honesty, less availability and A LOT OF SELF CONTROL. It’s too easy to go back to being her loyal minion, doing as she bids. But trust me, it’s going to get you a long way if you do otherwise. Find yourself doing something else, be less available. BUT, stay classy. Don’t look pathetic with a long face when she sees you avoiding her in the hallway – play it cool and look as if you’re having fun even after she rejected you.

A word of advice though: don’t become an a-hole trying to do this. Still be her friend; just don’t follow her around like a lapdog. The moment you cross the a-hole border, she’d think you were nice to her the whole time because you wanted to advance on her. Stay close, but not too close. And while you’re playing miss-me with her, go here and learn how to seduce her effectively. She’ll start missing you and she’ll start realizing how important you were. And, well, she’d more or less ‘fess up to you. *wink*

B. Get out of the friend zone and completely be happy with someone else.
This one has a higher success rate than the first. And the secret? Do the exact same things I said previously – go out, avoid becoming her minion TOTALLY, and meet other girls for the real purpose of meeting other girls. When the other one was meant to make her realize that you have a life too, this is proving more to yourself that you do have a life outside of her. Discover the rest of the world man. She’s not the only girl around and chances are, when you do this you’d realize how much better life is as a man and not as her loyal subject.

In both scenarios, what I’m really trying to say is this: find your own self-worth and make them realize it. You see, sometimes women, or people for that matter, don’t see the value of things until they lose them.

Her Purse Is Bigger than Mine!

Hi guys! Scary title, huh? LOL! I’ve received emails about our friend Brittany’s post about dating a rich guy, asking me to make a similar post for the male species.So here’s something for you buddies!

Dating a Rich Girl

It’s not about the money.

Every guy fantasizes about dating the rich girl until he has a rich girl in his arms. He will try every technique possible to get her to like him. If you’re interested about what these techniques are, check out the examples here. Even in this really liberated society of ours, a lot of men still feel emasculated about the girl paying for their expensive dinner of caviar and foie gras and a lot of other things they can hardly pronounce.

But what if it is true love that beckons you into her rich, satin-smooth, Cartier-dangled arms? How would you keep up with her Ferrari-driven pace of life and more importantly, her seemingly bottomless pit of a pocket?

How do you still wear the pants if she pays for dinner?

Here are some tips to survive dating a richer lady:

1. Don’t pretend to be anything you’re not. Lying is much harder than sticking to honesty – you’d have to keep up with that fake face all the time. While it may sound lethal to your ego, your honesty will win you more points and it is more detrimental to your dignity if she finds out who you truly are. A great girl, after all, does not see your human value with the size of your purse. Be honest right from the very start and SAY IT WITH DIGNITY. When she sees you’re confident about your value, she will value you too.

2. Be creative. This is the perfect opportunity for you to set up a romantic dinner on the rooftop of your apartment complete with borrowed Christmas lights from your friends. Oh, and this is the perfect way to impress her and show off your cooking chops to her.

3. Don’t let her pay the bill. If she knows your situation, and that you can’t possibly afford her Beverly Hills dinner nightly, she would probably understand if you take her to something great but much cheaper. This way, you can still pay the bill and take her to a great dinner.

4. Look good all the time. Don’t look as bad as your bank account. You don’t need to be wearing Cavalli and Coach and Burberry. Wear your best, well-groomed self at all times. Wear clean clothes all the time, wear a good deo, and in a gist, look well. This way, she won’t be too wary of taking you out where her rich friends could spot you. Plus, you wouldn’t want to look like her charity work so look good!

5. Be ambitious. Show your lady that you won’t always be broke. Show her that you have every intention of making yourself better, that you have dreams, and that whatever you are doing today leads you closer to that. Nothing is more impressive than a man with a goal, so be that man if you want to keep her. It would also be easier for her to defend you to her rich, disapproving daddy.

Love, romance – they don’t come with monetary value. There’s this movie called Coming to America wherein an African prince went to America, hoping to find someone who would marry him for the right reasons. If you haven’t seen it, you should. This sounds so cheesy but I still believe all is fair in love and war. So go ahead and show your money-rich lady that she can be love-richer with you!
