No More Mr. Nice Guy
I am a divorced man with a lot of female friends. That's the problem -- to
women, I'm just this nice guy who will always listen to their problems and
give them advice; never their boyfriend. Can you give me some advice to help
me change my status? --Mr. Nice Guy
NO GUY EVER got the girl by convincing her that the animal within him was
something along the lines of Papa Smurf. To let women know that you're good
for more than an afternoon of warm fuzzies, you need to formally indicate
your status as a willing sex object. This is best done by gluing a little
hair on your chest and asking them out on dates to dark, romantic bistros.
When choosing candidates for romance, forget about your female friends who
have spent weeks, months, or years using your shoulder as a substitute for
Kleenex. Instead, target less familiar women whose fantasies about you might
someday go beyond having you cuddle their brains out. When you're on a date
with one of these women, be sure to let her know that you have a physical
interest in her. Touch her on the arm for emphasis when you're talking, put
your arm around her, and hold her hand to help her into your car. If she
doesn't seem to recoil in horror at your touch, kiss her good night and maybe
even try for more. Play your cards right, and you could eventually end up
having a girlfriend instead of being one.
