Well lads, it’s back, The Love Guide: edition 2.

To all of the boys out there that scored over the weekend, be it a snog, cuddle or more, I’d like to congratulate you. I’m sure you used some of the matador’s tips on your travels. To all of the guys out there that weren’t so lucky, well lads, you still have a little work to do. Stay tuned with open minds, and we’ll see what we can do.

Right lads, today we’re going to talk about the art of “approaching a woman”. Firstly before you even go on your mission make sure you look well yourself. It’s not hard lads, and it doesn’t take much work. Make sure you’re well groomed. have a shave, iron the shirt/t-shirt, and try not to wear the white socks with the black shoes, “big no-no”. Some nice after shave but don’t put to much on, you’ll be smelling like a chemist. So now you’re halfway there, you look good and smell well. Now comes the hard part: getting yourself noticed.

You’re after a few pints of your favourite beverage, be it Murphy’s, Jameson, or Bud, and you’ve mellowed out a bit,starting to feel a bit confident. Your eyes start to roam around the bar/club as you suss out the potential around. There’s a few honeys catch the eye but one in particular. How do ya get her attention? Happy days, lads, when you could grab her ass on the way to the jacks (ah to be in my teens again), but if you did it now, you’d probably end up in hospital. What you gotta do, is try to get into her eye line. Don’t make it too obvious or you’ll blow it, throw the odd glance over, don’t worry if she catches you, that’s the idea. She loves it really. If you get a smile, sorted, you’ve established contact. Don’t approach a woman out of the blue on the dance floor, or in a bar. She’ll think you’re a weirdo, with no class. A bit of flirting first goes a long way, and as I said before lads, if you can dance then let her know you can! Hey hey, don’t go too overboard, just show her you’ve a nice beat. They love a guy that can move a bit. Don’t be doing a set from Riverdance or anything “which you know you’ve seen”.

Now if you have the balls to approach her, now’s your chance, you’ve got her attention, she might be interested. Walk over. Don’t under any circumstances use a chat-up line, you’re destined for the bullet if you start like that. Ask her name, introduce yourself. Ask her where’s she from and what she does. Show a bit of genuine interest. If she asks you questions back,then you’re in there boys! She’s interested. Buy her a drink and at the appropriate moment ask her for her number. Then you’ve got a date. It’s that simple lads. If you feel really confident go for the snog, it’s plain sailing from there.

Next edition we’re going to talk about snogging. Should be a laugh. Some good stories to tell.
