How to Win a Guy in 7 Steps
For a follow up of my previous post “How to Win a Girl in 7 Steps” I figured I’d write a 7 step guide for you girls out there on how to win a guy. It’s nice to have the guy doing the work, but hey girls can at least get things started in hopes of a better chance of success. Valentines is also just right around the corner so this can be the perfect time to put this to practice, and no, sending yourself flowers and candy doesn’t count.
1. Find the right (single) guy. From another one of my previous posts, I asked whether girls preferredlooks or personality. It seemed that the resounding answer was that personality was the top choice by girls. So first things first, find a guy that has the right personality. While looks sure will help, I’m sure that you’d be happier with the guy that you can talk to instead of just stare at. But if looks is your thing, then go and find that guy. And hey, If you can get a guy that has both, all the better!
2. Let him know that you exist! Usually unless a guy likes you or unless you’re already friends with him, he might not even know you exist. While I’m sure you girls want the guy to do all the asking, it doesn’t hurt to get things started and go talk to him and just find out some things about him and let them know some things about you, i.e. your name. If they can remember that much, then things are going well.
3. Find out what they’re interested in”. Now that they know your name, find out what they’re interested in. It’s important to know what a guy enjoys to do. It gives you a common ground and something to talk about and something else for him to remember you by. It’s ok the guy enjoys football and you know nothing about football. Get him to teach you! Unless he’s very impatient, he’ll most likely enjoy teaching you about football.
4. Participate! Not only find out what they’re interested in, but also try to participate in that activity as well. If they enjoy playing video games, then go play video games. If they like to play sports, then go and play the same sport! If it’s running around like a little girl, then go run around like a little girl with him…actually go find another guy if the guy you have in mind does that. It’s ok if you’re around watching, but then he might be more likely to be involved in the activity than to be paying any attention to you. So go and play or participate. They’ll definitely remember you if you’re playing and you catch the winning touchdown pass.
5. Keep in contact. Now that you’ve found out the interests of the guy you have in mind, and even participated in those interests, it’s time that you keep in contact. This doesn’t mean that you become a stalker, but that you should keep talking to the guy. You don’t have to be talking about anything serious or thought provoking, it can be as simple as finding out how his day was. The more you keep in contact, the more likely they’ll want to keep in contact with you. Again, remember to not overdo it and become a stalker.
6. Smile! Yes, that’s right, smile! It’s something so simple that people overlook the fact that they need to smile. Give the guy a smile when you see him. Letting him see you with a smile will make a big difference when trying to keep his attention. It might even brighten his day to see you with a smile and to know that you’re smiling at him. When in doubt, just smile!
7. Food! As you may have heard the saying go, “The best way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.” What better way to impress a guy than to bring him food. Find out what foods he likes, goto restaurants where he has a favorite dish. Offer to bring him some cookies or snacks. Even better if you bake or cook them yourself. If a guy’s full, then he’s happy. So try to help the guy you have an interest in have a full stomach. If he remembers you as helping to feed him, he’ll definitely remember you and will want to be around you as well.
Well there you have it, the 7 steps on how to win a guy. While these steps are just Mazie and my views, I’d say it’s a good start on trying to help you girls win that guy of yours. Don’t forget to also just be yourself and enjoy the things that you’re doing. Also, don’t sell yourself short by doing things that you hate or don’t want to do just to impress a guy. It’s really not worth it in the end. Feel free to leave comments or your own stories that you may have. The more comments the merrier. I hope this helps!
Dating thoughts
Someone asked me, would you if you go out with someone whom you’re not interested in, but who likes you? I’ll come to that.
Most people who sign up with a dating agency have the big M at the back of their minds .. because, why would you go to such lengths.. if you’re not serious.
Are people who join dating agencies weird?
Largely no. In fact, they’re people just like you and me (unless you think working 8 to 9 hours/day, watching TV, sleeping & playing soccer is weird). Most guys I met were very decent, incredibly eligible, established in their career (be it healthcare, medical, financial, engineering, business, law or IT industries), looking for a genuine relationship.
I did have one odd encounter -with a Caucasian guy- whom I later found out, on a second date, that he had an anxiety/panic attack. He began hyperventilating when he couldn’t find his wallet after drinks at TCC. I had to calm him down (what else could I do?) and so the whole story of his diagnosis spilled out. I have nothing against panic attacks, as much as he couldn’t help it. But then, psychiatric disorders are one of the hardest to treat and I really didn’t want unnecessary problems down my future genetic pool.
We still kept in touch .. till his return from the States, when he said, “I just attended my brother’s wedding in the States, but I felt so lonely.”
“Oh why?” I asked.
“Well because I don’t have anyone and it sucks” and he looked really troubled.

Love Letters – Sandra W.
My Grandmother told me how she ended up marrying Grandpa. She was in her 20s, and the man she was dating left for war. “We were in love,” she recalled, “ and wrote to each other every week. It was during that time that I discovered how wonderful your grandfather was.”
“Did you marry Grandpa when he came home from the war?” I asked.
“Oh, I didn’t marry the man who wrote the letters. Your grandfather was the mailman.”
Misunderstood – Vicki Stone
Hard to believe, but many of our customers at the bank still don’t know how to swipe their card through the ATM card reader. Because of this, my fellow tellers and I often find ourselves having to explain how it’s done. One teller complained that she kept getting odd looks every time she explained it. I found out why when I overheard her tell one man, “Strip down facing me.”
Frugality Now –
A millionaire, a hard hat, and a drunk are at a bar. When they get their beers, they notice a fly in each mug. The millionaire politely asks the bartender for another beer, then proceeds to sip it. The hard hat spills out just enough to get rid of the fly and quaffs the rest. It’s now the drunk’s turn. He sticks his hand into the beer, grabs the fly by the wings, and shouts, “Spit it out, spit out!!”
MINT Toy Museum
Many of my members have really gotten great feedbacks from their dates especially on certain locations we picked for them. I was really glad. It’s really easy for us to come out with dating ideas, as I am always the one planning on dates with my boyfriend who is now my husband.

Well, today I am doing to blog about a special dating place that has a high statistic of people hitching up on the first sight! After receiving quite a number of good feedbacks on dates set in the MINT Toy Museum in Singapore, I had decided to go on this excursion myself.
You guys may think and wonder : “ What? You set us in a date in this location that you have not been yourself?” Well, pardon me for that! Excuse is I am busy. However, thanks to the road closure in the city due to the National Day Parade Rehearsal, I decided to go to the MINT, dating myself.
A set lunch cost only $10.90 only with a Soup of the day, Main, a Drink and Dessert! After my lunch, I asked the waiter to hold my drinks and dessert and I head to the Toy Museum.
Pictures would definitely says a thousand words. Every shelf of the toys in mint conditions sparks up a talking point! Hence, dating a stranger, is really a no-pressure, no-sweat done deal!
Everyone has a child in them. Walking through this 4 storey shop-house museum is really nostalgic and amazing sharing childhoods together. And we are talking about PMETs on a date in this place age 25 onward right up to 45s-50s!
Some of the old antique toy robots cost from USD 7,000 to USD 40, 000! Amazing! Thanks for my Champagne JSG members. Seems they are recommending me the places instead me recommending them! I am going to plan a trip for my husband when he is back!
