How To REALLY Get a Girl

keepcalmandcarryon tells the fellas how to land a ladyfriend. (Why did we just start talking like it's 1954?)—Sparkitors

So, you’ve all read TanTantheLadiesMan’s thoughts on how to get a girl, but honestly, judging by how much time he spends blogging for SparkLife, I find it a little hard to believe he actually gets any. (Just kidding!) For all you Manklers out there who want a lady’s perspective on how to get a honey, read on!

1. This may sound cliché, but it really is the number one rule: Don’t pay a girl that much attention! Girls like to be courted, but not if it’s too easy. Don’t answer her texts the second you get them, don’t ever double text (text her twice if she hasn’t responded the first time), and don’t make it seem like you’re that interested in her.  Imagine you’re trying to bargain for something you REALLY want at a swap meet; would you go up to the seller and beg for it, or would you play it cool and offer a lowball price? Exactly.

2. Caveat to 1: Make sure she knows you’re interested (translation: be a man, and make the first move). If you like her, and you think she possibly sort of likes you too, just go for it. If nothing else, it’ll be flattering. But if she’s made it clear she’s not into you, take the damn hint and move on.

3. Compliment her. Not in a cheesy way (never, ever say "Did it hurt when you fell from heaven?"); find something you truly like about her and tell her.

4. Tease her. If you really want to make a girl go for you, have fun with her.  Splash water on her at a pool party. Make fun of the way she pronounces "about" like "aboot," or the way she always has her hands in her pockets.  It sounds so second grade, but if you can joke around with her and can get past the super awkward crush phase, you’ll have a better chance.

5. Girls like suave dudes, so fake it til you make it.  Even if you never know what to say around a girl, pretend you do.  Fake the sexy, James Bond confidence, and the ladies will love it.

6. If all else fails, stand up tall, put your shoulders back, look a girl up and down and say, “This is probably totally inappropriate, but you have absolutely incredible eyes/legs/political opinions/lips. I’m (insert your name here). Can I get your number?”  I know it’ll take an enormous pair of confidence pants, but hey, even if you get rejected, she’ll notice you.  And other girls will too.

What do you think, Sparklers/Manklers? Does these tips work?
