Wine And Dine Your Way Into Her Heart

Zahid H Javali uncomplicates the rules of dating for the uninformed regular straight guy

Ever wondered why your date didn’t call you back after that cocktail party? Did something go wrong somewhere? Women are a picky species and they can spot everything under the sun, including that little bit of shaving foam behind your ears you forgot to wash off. You could dismiss her saying; she’s not your type. But what if she is? Therefore, all you need to do is sharpen your wining and dining skills right down to the last sip. The road to temptation heaven is in the details.

In vino veritas. In wine, there is truth. And impressing women on a date isn’t difficult. But men do the stupidest things and end up eating crow. Some of the silliest reasons quoted by women for dumping their men include: bad hair, smelly mouth, did not carry enough cash, too much perfume, low self-esteem, gypsy jeans, pink streaks in the hair, watch didn’t work, worn-out shoes, and using her phone to make a call.

Surprised? Well, don’t be. The list goes on. What you need to remember is to ensure you don’t make the same mistakes. Wining and dining women begins with the way you groom yourself. Here goes the route map to Temptation Island.

Dress rehearsal: Take a bath. Smell good. Musky deos work wonders. Feel good – we are talking about clean hair and good oral hygiene, not mood-enhancing drugs. Dirty and long nails on men are as repulsive to women as butter on the corner of your mouth. Keep them trimmed and your lips moistened (what if she wants to kiss you?). Wear anything you’re comfortable with. Don’t dress up to make an impression. Be yourself and you’ll have her trailing you. Take care of your shoes, and don’t forget to wear fresh socks.
