W. “She won’t want to go out with me” syndrome: Sometimes men are scared to ask a girl out. If this happens to you, then tell yourself how wonderful you are. Your mother believes it! Maybe you are a good talker. Maybe you can plan great dates. Or maybe you are a great listener. Girls love men who listen. There are not many of them out there. If you cannot think of any of your strengths, talk to the Designer (aka God). He put you together. He definitely knows your strong suits, and He knows what she likes.
X. Go easy on “I” and heavy on “you”: A guy who masters the ability to talk about the girl rather than self wins.
Y. Humor: Know your strengths and limitations here. The guy who doesn’t loses.
Z. Compliments: A guy should seek to sincerely say good things about a girl. Most people like to hear good things about themselves and others.
Forget what TV and movies tell you about being a guy. Trust me, the girls are not impressed with your ability to demonstrate your levels of testosterone.
If you follow these guidelines, you will demonstrate to that beautiful young lady in your life your phenomenal skill at being just the kind of guy she is looking for. I know you are thinking it, so I will say it: Lucky her!
