Truths For Mature Humans...

14. "Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means I will never wash this - ever. 

15. I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? **** it!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voice mail. What did you do after I didn't answer? Drop the phone and run away?

To keep a girl interested...even for the geek impaired.


To keep a girl interested in You its key that you follow these core principles. 
These are the big three that I often see that nuke potential relationships.

1. Don’t be too mushy
You should always use romantic gestures as a supplement to the relationship.
 You also shouldn’t say many mushy things too often or they lose their power.
Show you have a heart — but make it a rare occurance.  Keep your inner little girl in check.
Women want you to act like a man, even if they sometimes say otherwise.  
Keep her interested in you by using things like flowers and expensive dates
very sparingly.  It will help seperate you from the competition.
2. Have an enriched lifeMake sure you find ways to stay busy and cultivate your own interests. Do thingswith your friends without your girlfriend / girl your dating.  It’s a big mistake to make
the girl you’re seeing the only person in your world and neglect your friends.
If you stick with your current hobbies after getting a girlfriend and continue your
personal development it will help keep her more interested in you and you will become
more attractive.
It’s a great way to spend some time apart as well.  It’s key that you’re not together24/7 or you will get sick of each other pretty quickly.  You can’t miss what is always there.
3. Always end interactions firstAlways end conversations “too soon” and on a positive tone.  This will leave her thinking
about you long after the conversation has ended because of how much fun she had
with you.  If you let a conversation drag on too long in early stages it can kill attraction.
Its ok to let a conversation end when its going well.  A lot of guys will try to keep a
conversation rolling if it’s going well.  End the conversation and either get a number,
create the next date, or simply end it pleasantly.
For example, if you’re talking to a woman you just met at a bookstore for about five
minutes while having an awesome conversation, that is when you should end it.
Say, “Hey, It was great meeting you but I have to get going. What’s your number?”
Same principles apply for phone conversations. 
Avoid becoming overly infatuated,
you need to mke sure you are still percieved as a challenge. Don’t become a puss.
It’s a good practice to often conciously listen to the words you’re saying and
evaluate whether or not they sound like girl-ish. Once you’ve shown a woman
that you’re a wimp, it’s hard to get yourself back into the “real man” category.
It seems geeks, nerds and even dorks are having issues with "dating"
still to this very day! Even with the rise of Potter, Twilight, and Star Trek Fans...go figure.
