Rotovia's Dating Tips

Rotovia-

Now since there seems to be an epidemic of dateless wonders in the general forum of late, I'm offering my services as a date doctor of soughts. Though given I've been banned by my university from calling myself Dr at random intervals, let's just ignore that.

Note: If you're a girly, replace "guy" with "girl" and you should be fine. Assuming your gay...

Here's a great scenario you can use when clubbing or what-not.

Step 1: Be confident. A limp dick personality indicates a limp dick in general. Noone likes limp dicks. If you're not confident, fake it. If you have a limp dick, shake it.

Step 2: DO NOT USE PICKUP LINES. Every line you know sucks ass through a straw and will either earn you a backhand or knee to the crotch. Instead try this "hi". Or substitute with appropiate greeting from your country of residence.

Step 3: Smile. Look directly into her eyes. Not her lips, not her cute best friend, AND NEVER HER CHEST.

Step 4: Wait for a response. If the response is a smile, you've acheived your goal. If it's an appropriate response (ie "hey") even better.

Step 5: Ask her to dance. Open your body language to allow her room and indicate the dancefloor by inclining your open palm. NOTE: You are not trying to take her hand stupid, just indicate where the floor is. If she declines, smile, shrug, half turn and leave. It looks pretty cool. If she says yes, let her lead the way.

Step 6: YOU SUCK AT DANCING: Trust me on this one. Keep your movements loose but compact. Draw yourself an imaginary box on the floor about 3foot^2. Stay inside it. Draw yourself another box, slightly wider then your hips and from your pelvis to that triangle bit in your ribcage. Keep your hands in this space. Move from side to side in time with the music, if you can't do this. Match her timing.

Step 7: When the song finishes. Remove a pre-written peice of paper with your name and number -Note: Not a bussiness card- and slip it to her. Turn to leave. She will either leave to or indicate you should stay. Either is good.

Repeat ten times and you will get at least one phone call the next day. With this system followed exactly I garuntee* you success.






*I garuntee nothing! MU HAW HAW. Nah Seriously, try it.

Except for Step 1, I can agree with everything. Step 1 is useful, just something that I disagree with.

I'd like some chicks from the forum to advocate this before I believe it. It just seems too simple, but if someone here admits they would actually go out with a guy who did that then I'll believe.

No, I'm lazy. They were written under my old NS account Rotovia. (Hence Rotovia-). But one of my newer ones is. "My Thoughts On: The Mugabe Regime" Tommorow I'm putting an exert from "My Thought On: Freedom" That's my personal favourite. If I do say so myself.

That's not a ritual. That's telling the other person what you want, giving them opportunity to accept or decline. You know, sanity.

Ah poor Fassy. Yes, I have used my technique when nessacary. IE that drop dead sexy blonde flirts, but won't come over. But it's far more fun to hold the upper hand.

I'm Catholic and I thought the tradition was that you were called by your middle until baptism when form then on "you are to be called by your Christian name". The idea being that since you can be called by a name by covenent with God, this name is entered into The Book of Life and against it your sins are recorded and before this since you have no name you can neither ascend into Heaven nor Hell, because there can be no sins nor good works recorded. Hence Limbo.

It sounds to me like this is a national/cultural difference. I'm an American Protestant, and I had two names from the day I was born. I was baptized some days later (in the Methodist church, which ironically I rarely participated in), but I was being called by my first and middle names the whole time because that's the way things are done where I'm from.
Knootian East Indies
12-10-2005, 20:07
I have two names but was never baptised. Always called by my first name. Which is, I suppose not really a Christian name then. Oh well.

I had personally never heard of the second-name-calling tradition over here. But then, Catholics tend to baptise their kids pretty much immediately. Never heard about protestants doing it.
