From The Atlantic (emphasis mine):

  1. Getting dates is not hard if one will act with a bit of courage and show himself to be sincere.
  2. Fear of not being asked or fear of being refused can ruin our social lives if we let them.
  3. Girls have their problems, just as fellows do.
  4. A dignified occasion requires dignified clothes.
  5. Good manners never interfere with fun.
  6. Relax. Be natural. Talk.
  7. It’s foolish to be jealous. It’s your own fun you’re spoiling.
  8. People never like to blame themselves so they blame others.
  9. Simplicity is always the safest policy.
  10. Keep trying. Be sensible.

I'm not sure much has changed.

I recall on one forum, a poster said that he eventually realised seduction was just a matter of approaching girls and pulling the trigger (making your intentions known) -- and everything else was the icing on the cake. I'm inclined to agree.

So are you approaching? Are you pulling the trigger?
