5. What would make the date a success? A failure? What could a girl do to make the evening easier?
When it comes to guys‘ dating success stories, almost all the answers were only slight variations on a common theme. Our guys thought it would be a great night if they felt comfortable, enjoyed the conversation, felt attracted to the girl in question, felt as though they had connected with her in some way, and wanted to see her again.

I cannot tell you how many times I have heard the argument from men over the years, ” Jeez, all the guy was trying to do was ask the girl out. You know how girls say ‘no’ when they really mean ‘yes’?” or “If I had taken ‘no’ for an answer, my wife and I wouldn’t be married today!” When we were first trying to get the anti-stalking law passed in every state, I went on several television and radio shows.

I am not bald — my head is just a solar panel for a sex machine.
If women dressed for men, the clothes stores wouldn’t sell much — just an occasional sun visor.
Anyone who calls it sexual intercourse can’t possibly be interested in doing it.You might as well announce you’re ready for lunch by proclaiming,”I’d like to do some masticating and enzyme secreting.”

Don’t call men,except occasionally to return their calls. When a boyfriend calls you, don’t stay on the phone for more than ten minutes. Buy a timer if you have to. When the bell rings, you have to go! That way you seem busy and you won’t give away too much about yourself or your plans (even if you don’t have any plans). By ending the conversation first, you leave them wanting more. Good conversation enders are: “I have a million things to do,” “Well, it’s been really nice talking to you,” “Actually, I’m kind of busy right now,” and “My beeper’s beeping, got to run!” Remember to say these things in a very nice way.

Invariably, when you call him, he will get off the phone first or quickly and you might misinterpret his busyness as disinterest. You may even think that he’s with another woman! Understandably, you feel empty and nervous for the rest of the day or evening or until you hear from him again. This nervousness might make you call him again to ask, “Is everything okay?” or “Do you still love me? miss me?” And, you end up breaking more rules!
So, if you don’t want a man to know how much you like him, or that you feel empty and insecure, don’t call him. If he leaves a message on your machine to return his call, try not to. Only call him back right away if it’s a scheduling change regarding an upcoming date or event, not just to chat. Read the rest of this entry »
Oh maiden, let your distaff be,
And pace the flowery meads with me, And 1 will tell you lies . . .
Oh follow me where love is flown, Into the leafy woods alone,
And I will work you ill.
Once upon time, long ago and far away, men didn’t just up and out with it. They expected to have to court the chosen lady, to flatter, to persuade, to beat down a real resistance. They had to stoke up the fires of passion if they hoped to build up a head of steam. Read the rest of this entry »
Well, only some marriages are made in heaven. The others need a fair bit of terrestrial stage management to get them off the ground. This is the story of Maggie and Willie in an evergreen drama, Hobson’s Choice. Maggie, at thirty, is the unmarried daughter of the bootmaker Henry Hobson. She has been working like a dog for her father all her life, and her prospects are getting dimmer rather than brighter.
Maggie develops a fellow-feeling for Willie, her father’s downtrodden labourer, who is nevertheless ‘a genius at making boots’. She forms a plan in her mind — but then she has to break it to Willie: Read the rest of this entry »
