Wear a single black glove. If she asks you why, just smile cryptically. Women love a mystery. Be a war veteran (or pretend to be one). Compare everyone you see (waiters and such) to someone in your platoon, or if they’re not white, then someone you killed, preferably with a knife. Women love a strong man, and a patriot. Alternately whisper and shout. Keep her guessing, that will keep her interested. ---

update: Didn’t go on the date. I fell asleep and she started messaging me back really slowly and we never planned anything. Might try tonight and if not tommorow. Gotta decide and try to gauge her real interest level. Think she might be one of those online attention whores “time wasters” and will just “oh lets meet” _5 days later_ "oh something happened hehe.
