Say It This Way...

Get in Good with these Essential Statements

Trying to get in good with that special someone? Just getting started on a potential relationship? Well remember, every time you open your mouth, she's analyzing your words, wondering if you're "the one". That's probably a little scary, considering you spend most of your time grunting. But don't worry. A few simple statements, said with practice and sincerity, can make the difference between yes and no.

"I just love watching wrestle-mania... I have them all taped!"

"There's that scene in Bombay, where the children get attacked on the street... it's so sad, I started to cry..."

Of course you wouldn't admit it to your buddies. But this gem of a statement reveals that you are a Sensitive South Asian Man. Some women believe that the SSAM is an endangered species, so getting labelled as such can do wonders for your social life. As well, it tells her that you don't mind watching the occasional Indian movie. (Yes, she likes that).

I"Hey baby, nice ass!"

"You have the most beautiful eyes/hair/hands..."

Do we have to explain this one? Flattery will get you anywhere. BUT remember two things. It must be sincere. And, it should focus on her unique, non-sexual features. That's not only sweeter, but makes it shows her you're really paying attention. So that means, hold off on the commentary about her butt, chest or legs.

"I'm not sure if I can go out, I'll have to ask my Mom..."

"I would love to see you, but I offered to help my Mom install her new computer."

Once again, a few key things are accomplished. You don't look like your Mom dictates your life (sorry Mom). However you do demonstrate that you are a helpful, caring family member. Plus, you get bonus points for having technical prowess!

"We got kicked out of the jam cuz we got into a fight."

"I tried to stop some guy from getting into a fight."

Fights do not reveal that you are tough or masculine. They reveal that you are stupid. Enough said.

"I did it because it looks good on my resume."

Say "I did it to help others."

Telling her that the only reason you volunteer at the hospital is because your resume is so pathetic is not a turn on. Instead, emphasize that it makes you feel good to help people. Your altruism will impress her!

"My mom cooks for me and I figure my wife will take over when we get married."

"I love to cook! I would love to make you my specialty chicken curry sometime."

A man in a kitchen is sexy. It tells a woman that you'll pamper her when she needs it. Plus, bonus points for making it into the 21st century.

"My snot-nosed niece is coming over."

"My favourite little niece is coming over!"

Women love the idea of a man taking care of children. It helps them to imagine them as a father, and future partner. So go ahead, wipe that snot and treat that little cousin to some kulfi!

"I haven't taken a vacation in 2 years."

"I'm going on a tour of the Congo next week."

Telling her you never take a vacation does not make you sound hardworking. It makes you sound like you don't have a life. She wants to know that you like to have fun and that you'll spend the money to do it. Besides, you might end up with a travelling companion!

"I'd love to see you in a black string bikini."

"I'd love to see you in a sari."

Where have you been? The sari is one of the sexiest garments worn by women. So tell her so. First, this simple statement helps you avoid sounding like a pervert. Second, she feels special because it's something she'll actually willing to wear. Plus, bonus points for being cultured and romantic.
