Or, to please just me, please adhere strictly to the following steps.

1. Thou shalt buyeth thy lady food and sustenance

It is scientifically (okay, maybe not) proven that a way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Does a woman's skills in the kitchen reflect upon her skills in another part of the house, then?

That would be a discussion for another day, but for today...

Did the person who invented this fine theory forget that women/girls/old grannies have stomachs, too? And that a well-fed person is a happy and non-grumpy one.

So feed me, and I will be happy. Donuts, chicken, fish, mushroom soup, sambal kangkong. The likes. If it is a) edible, b) something I do not have an allergy to, and c) doesn't look like shit mush, I will appreciate it.

Bonus points if what you present me with is a favorite food or something you (strivingly) made yourself. Or from somewhere really far away or with really long queues.



2. Thou shalt perform sweet deeds

... In the sense of being sweet to a girl, and doing everything you can think of to please her. Best served with a tankful of affection and surprise. Like, surprising her with thoughtful gifts (or food), a love letter, or just surprising her by showing up when its unexpected of you to do so.

Because, repeat after me, girls love surprises.



3. Thou shalt smear sugar on thy mouth

Compliment your girl whenever possible. Because once upon a time, nothing was sweeter to a person's ears than his or her name (and it still is, so don't forget my name) but times have changed and people live and evolve, and now nothing is sweeter than a sweetened word or phrase.

So gimme some sugar.

Figurative sugar anyway. Though it wouldn't hurt to kiss sweet lips! :)



4. Thou shalt watcheth chick flicks with thy lady

We watch action movies and movies like resident evil : extinction with you and hang on to your sleeve for dear life (doesn't that make you feel macho? bet it does :) and continue watching those darned movies with you. (someone should smack those Hollywood producers.)

But mention these two words - chick. flick. - and you're outta there before anyone can say, pink.

Where's the justice in this world man! *sighs*

I have an ambition to have a showcase cabinet full of chick flick movies. And watching it on movie nights will not be ruled out. ^^



5. Thou shalt spend time with thy lady's family

Since you have come this far, and you're serious about this lady, then you shalt put time out from your acclaimed busy schedule (why be busy when you have her? hee:) to spend time not just with your lady, but also with the precious lady's family. From time to time, and especially during holidays.

We all know you have your own family that you're extremely committed to, but spare a couple hours on a special holiday that she wants to spend with you, and she'll feel like a queen (if you're on good terms with the girl's family, that is. And if you're not, it's time to try to be).


6. Thou shalt tolerate thy lady's (incessant) mood swings

Yes, we have mood swings from time to time, and after some time you should be able to predict when it happens and if you're smart, why it happens. SO DEAL WITH IT.
:)))))


7. Thou shalt never forget to smile when thou takes notice of thy lady

A smile never fails to brighten up a person's day. This tip should be used always, in this situation: whenever you catch sight of her. As much as humanly possible, anyway.



And more to come, if I think of more. :)
