I attended the lecture last week on \u201cHow to Talk to Girls 101,\u201d and frankly, I walked away unsatisfied. There was some excellent advice, and I took pages of notes, but I feel that I still have much to learn before I am prepared to attempt to talk to a girl. Do you have any advice that you could share?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
-Taking Notes from Memorial<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unfortunately, I was unavailable to attend to speak at the talk, and I am unable to comment on what was said there. However, as Dr. Love, I have a wealth of information from my experiences and am well-prepared to share it with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do\u2019s and Don\u2019ts of Talking to Girls:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf Do: Ask her questions about herself! You wouldn\u2019t believe how many dates my friends have gone on where the guy only talked about himself. It\u2019s OK to be nervous, but it\u2019s never OK to be rude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf Do: Be genuinely interested in what she has to say. Ninety percent of being good at talking to girls is being able to truly listen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf Do: Talk at a normal volume. Being as timid as a mouse isn\u2019t cute. Neither is being over the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf Do: Remember the small things. It means a lot that you remember an offhand comment she made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf Do: Try to be friends before anything else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf Don\u2019t: Make a big deal about it. It makes it really awkward, really fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf Don\u2019t: Approach her for the first time and say that the Lord has put it on your heart that she\u2019s your wife. (It has happened, unfortunately.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf Don\u2019t: Get too close. Personal space is greatly appreciated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf Don\u2019t: Always try to fill every silence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf Don\u2019t: Always ask the same questions. Please.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I promise that it isn\u2019t as hard as you are making it out to be. Talking to girls is NOT super scary. I know a lot of people say, \u201cjust go talk to her.\u201d That\u2019s hard, especially if you\u2019ve never spoken with her before. However, you already have one thing in common with a lot of girls: you both go to Grove City College. That\u2019s as good a starting point as anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One last piece of advice: Be normal about it. Carrying around a sheaf of notes is not exactly inconspicuous, so I probably wouldn\u2019t do that. You\u2019ve got this!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Auspiciously,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
