Straight Rules of Wooing Girls. This is a topic with all 'DON'Ts' with gals. Do's will follow

1. Do not emulate your favorite chocolate hero by dancing for her in the street or wearing green trousers with a yellow shirt and red scarf. Other than landing you in jail for 'Crimes of Fashion', it may also lead to your family disowning you or commiting you to a mental institution.

2. Do not call her at odd hours and leave scary messages like 'I was thinking about you while wearing my underwear so I thought I would call...' Restraining orders are surprisingly easy to get.

3. Do not, under any circumstances, try to write her name on your hand with a knife, blade, etc. Chances are you will bleed to death in your room by the time you're done with the first letter. And even if you don't, you can't really expect a girl to fall for you when you have an infected wound on your body spelling her name out.

4. Excercise discretion in gifts. Do not buy her sluttly underwear, S&M costumes, whips, pornographic CDs, or a free night's stay for two at the 'Dilkhush Lodge' and the like, unless the person you're wooing is, in fact, a nymphomaniac, in which case, I congratulate you and ask that you please find out whether she has any like minded friends and let me know.

5. Be discrete about your intentions to get laid eventually. Do not leave 'helpful hints' like a pack of condoms, a copy of 'The Illustrated Kamasutra', or aphrodisiacs like with names like 'Night Passion', 'Masti', etc. scattered around the room.

6. When asking her to watch a movie, make sure the name of the movie does not elicit lecherous looks. Examples are 'Mastana Badan', 'Pyaasi Kanya', 'Maya Ki Hawas', etc.

7. I know I'm repeating myself, but this point needs to be stressed, for men are horny creatures... 'SLOW DOWN!' Believe me, women are not dying to claw into your flab and scream 'Oh, Yes!' They will eventually sleep with you only if you've managed to convince them that that is the last thing you want.

8. Mc'Donalds or any crowded place is not a 'cosy' place to go to, but women will usually agree to go there rather than to a dimply lit restaurant, probably because of the security the bright lights and crowds provide.

9. Do not make up phony stories about your dog, grandmother, neighbour, etc. being dead or dying to generate sympathy. If you do, make sure the said person is dead before she finds out.

10. Be yourself, but only if you are good company as 'yourself'. And take advice regarding the attractiveness of your personality from someone other than your Mom!

All the above tips apart, I think, personally, that the best thing to do when women don't seem to be attracted to you is to wait for the one person who does, and besides, even if that person doesn't show up, you always have your own two hands to keep you company while you wait!
