The Seductress

Smiling is a great way to get a girlfriend, or a platonic friend. A big smile lets someone know that you’re genuinely happy to see them.

When I ask a date what she’d like to do, I usually name a couple options. “I thought we could do X or Y. Is there one that you’d prefer?” That demonstrates that I actually have a plan (and a backup), but I’m also taking her preferences into account.
When discussing other opinions, I always try to explain my opinions in a way that makes sense, yet respects other people’s ability to hold opinions different from my own.

Always accept compliments. The easiest response is, “Thank you.” Responding with a compliment also works, but I recommend something more original than, “You too.”

I also try to leave my dates wishing they had a little more time with me … as opposed to a little less. I don’t insist on being the one to end the date first … because this could lead to the the ludicrous situation where we’re both unwittingly racing to end the date before the other one does.

Instead of sharing my dreams and goals, I usually share my current interests or stories about my past (with similar results). It makes it obvious that I have an interesting life.

When offering compliments, I try to make them true, specific and unique. Instead of telling a woman that I like her hair, I might tell her that I like the way her hair moves when she dances. Instead of telling a woman that she’s a great dancer, I might tell her that I’m impressed by her flashy footwork.
