[QUOTE="Rel, post: 2712279, member: 99"] My initial advice in this thread was aimed at helping Ferret survive unrequieted love. If the topic has shifted to how to actually GET girls then TB is on the mark as usual. But like Eric said, I'd have had a hard time implementing that advice when I was that age. I was initially very "nice" when I approached the woman who would eventually become my wife and she blew me off. Later when I was accidentally dismissive toward her (I told her that we'd "just be friends"), she responded in the way that I wanted her to. My father has given me lots of really good advice over the years but I still recall two particularly good bits he gave me when I was young. One of them was that men tend to put women on a pedestal because "they have a monopoly on the [kitty cat] and we think that makes them special". But he went on to say, "Once you put somebody on a pedestal though, you can really only do one thing with them: Worship. From [b]afar[/b]. And you don't want to be afar. You want to be right up close where she keeps the [kitty cat]." In short, don't treat her like a princess unless you want to be treated like a serf. Oh, he also said, "Don't buy Whole Life Insurance for the 'Investment Potential'." [/QUOTE]
