How a little homework goes a long way...


Ever see a movie where the guy gets two different women he is dating mixed up?
It’s funny... WHEN IT HAPPENS TO SOMEONE ELSE.

It isn't be funny when it happens to you!

Trust me...

...It can happen a whole lot easier than you think.

If you are juggling 5 email conversations at a time and have had 4 messenger chats with other girls just before you go out on your date with her, it doesn’t take much for information to blur from one girl to the next. Nothing much can make you look like a bigger asshole than asking how her parents are doing when she told you in the first email that they both passed away in a car crash 10 years ago.

To avoid this, always do a little homework before you craft a reply to an email, go into a MSN or phone conversation, or before going on a date... especially before going on a date!

* Re-read all your previous interactions with her, from the first email to the last.

* Re-read any previous chat conversations with her.

* Maintain a document with all her important information: family, work, interests, dreams, where she’s traveled, etc...

* Make that into a cheat sheet that you read over before going into a live conversation, or a date.

* If you are going to meet her in person, or talk over the phone, repeat her name over and over and over in your head until you push out the names of all the other girls that are in there. Nothing is more insulting than forgetting her name, or worse, mixing it up with that of another girl.

(cough)

So I hear.


Have fun!
