The 10 Dos and Donts of Flirting

After a very illustrious career in the art of flirting, its my time to give back something to the flirting community. Hereby I summarize a few basics every guy deserves 2 know about girls and how best to impress them.

Assumptions:
1. The guy has intentions only to flirt and have some light fun.
2. The girl is somewhere midway between indian and western culture(the rest of em arent worth all the effort neway[:-P]).
3. Valid till your first official date.

1. To begin with the beginning, the most fundamental of concepts. Whenever you get a "watz up?" msg, never say "NOTHIN MCH". Which girl wants to converse with a guy who has got nothing much to do at 8 or 9 in d evening! Pick up rather an intersting subject say "m messd up in a crossword" or "surfing a strange website" n google 1 immediately[;-)]. never try to impress too much too fast with a "am studyng astrophysics for fun" line and if you are actually doing something sensible, which i find hard 2 believe, you could say that too, at ur own risk.[:-P]

2. Something to etch deep in ur minds. No girl is beyond reach if you are in talking terms. All you have to be is smart and patient and stick to the protocol. They have a thing for smart guyz neway.[;-)]

3. When you talk, listen. Dont stare and you know where.[;-)] Dont look away a lot. Listening is a big part of the deal. 2 mins of good listening is a far better effort than 5 mins of good joke-cutting. You ll have your time to spill your good humour, if you have one. Save it for later.

4. Precaution. The point where most guyz lose it. When the girl flirts back, "never get carried away". Itz working, you know it and she doesnt have to know it. Retain the edge. Be happy with the compliment and switch quickly to a topic, less flirtatious and more on the same lines. This would be a good time for your humour to rescue you from falling right into the bear-trap.

5. Know when to end your conversations. End on a high note. Dont drag it if you know you are doing well. Enjoy the hangover and let her feel, "I wish he talked a little more. Damn idiot, had to leave just when it was getting interesting!!"

6. The need to be the bigger guy. While in the presence of a third person, learn to play it mature. Kisine ache se line pe ladki k saamne gandi uda d, to zaruri nehi he muh phad k ganda sa pj maar do. Give a smile and say "nice1". She knows you cant be the smartest all the time and thats ok. You know how often she has been dumb neway.[;-)]

7. Dont overdo your good impressions. She likes the way you are so good at writing, to roz "poem" ya "khat" likhne ki zarurat nehi he. She likes how you got an award for a "chinese crockery" competition, to roz sunane ki zarurat nehi he. Always have new lines up ur sleeve. The old ones have done their job just fine.

8. Never give stupid advices if she approaches you when upset. "sab thik ho jayega na". "tumse koi kaise jhagda kar sakta he". "teachers to bewakuf hote hen. they cant see your true potential. I can". Stop being an ass-kisser. If she has a genuine prob, you ll always have a genuine advice. If she doesnt, imagine how many of those would come your way once you woo her over.[:-P]

9. Learn to be good at a few things. Just the smooth talking wont take you a long way. This would be the horizon where knowledge and flirting meet. A good iq level is always healthy unless you are an enormously hot guy with all flex muscles, tall and a cool hairstyle supposedly. uske agey kafi ladkiyon ko kuch dino tak atleast, baki kuch nehi sujhta and you can afford to be dumb and like, "I work out 4 hours in gym everyday while am not sleeping or daydreaming about you".

10. Never ever flirt with your friends unless you are in love with them or you are too sure they would never fall for a guy like you. The latter being the more probable. You dont wanna jeopardise what you have with your friends. Let them be the listeners of your "flirting escapades".[:-)]

The aforesaid basics should work for quite a few years to come and i have a feeling I wont need them much having this strong urge for a more "career-driven" lifestyle now. I resign and I have passed the baton to a community that keeps hearts beating. jiyo!!:)

  14. My complaint about Mr. Avinash Acharya

    I kept my silence when Mr. Avinash Acharya announced he wanted to make higher education accessible only to those in the higher echelons of society. I did nothing when he tried to detach individuals from traditional sources of strength and identity—family, class, private associations. But his latest musings are the straw that breaks the camel's back. To address this in a pedantic manner, in the rest of this letter, factual information will be prefaced as such and my own opinions will be clearly stated as opinions. For instance, it is a fact that his memoirs are evil. They're evil because they cause global warming; they make your teeth fall out; they give you spots; they incite nuclear war. And, as if that weren't enough, I believe in "live and let live". Avinash, in contrast, demands not only tolerance and acceptance of his scribblings but endorsement of them. It's because of such unscrupulous demands that I assert that if you think that my bitterness at him is merely the latent projection of libidinal energy stemming from self-induced anguish then you're suffering from very serious nearsightedness. You're focusing too much on what Avinash wants you to see and failing to observe many other things of much greater importance such as that some of the facts I'm about to present may seem shocking. This they certainly are. However, according to him, the existence and perpetuation of incendiarism is its own moral justification. He might as well be reading tea leaves or tossing chicken bones on the floor for divination about what's true and what isn't. Maybe then Avinash would realize that he has written more than his fair share of lengthy, over-worded, pseudo-intellectual tripe. In all such instances Avinash conveniently overlooks the fact that he has blood on his hands. Yet Avinash pretends to be an innocent lamb who has our best interests at heart. We all know the reality: If he really had our best interests at heart, he wouldn't use terms of opprobrium such as "vicious twerps" and "morbid wing nuts" to castigate whomever he opposes.

  15. Avinash has been trying to raise funds for scientific studies that "prove" that unreasonable smart alecks are inherently good, sensitive, creative, and inoffensive. This is what's called "advocacy research" or "junk science" because it's funded by effrontive nebbishes who have already decided that sexism is the key to world peace. No one can claim to know the specific source of his bromides, but his goombahs have been seen infiltrating and then dominating and controlling the mass media. Avinash claimed he would take responsibility for this appalling behavior, but in fact he did nothing to fix matters or punish the culprits. This proves that Avinash's stories about ethnocentrism are particularly ridden with errors and distortions, even leaving aside the concept's initial implausibility.

    Avinash's ruses are the direct result of a policy of abandonment and neglect. This is not what I think; this is what I know. I additionally know that diabolic fomenters of revolution often take earthworms or similar small animals and impale them on a pin to enjoy watching them twist and writhe as they slowly die. Similarly, Avinash enjoys watching respectable people twist and writhe whenever he threatens to remove society's moral barriers and allow perversion to prosper. It's a pity that two thousand years after Christ, the voices of petty, sappy slackers like him can still be heard, worse still that they're listened to, and worst of all that anyone believes them. Avinash's ideologies can be rightly understood only as what some nit-picky vitriolic-types have been brave enough to call them: a failure. It is my personal opinion, based on years of observation, that Avinash seems unable to think of turns of speech that aren't hackneyed. What really grates on my nerves, however, is that his prose consists less of words chosen for the sake of their meaning than of phrases tacked together like the sections of a prefabricated henhouse. With that, I'll draw this letter to a close. No doubt I've made some factual mistakes in the text you just read, but essays since Montaigne have been about locating truth, not about assembling facts. I'll be happy as long as you've learned from this letter that Mr. Avinash Acharya's language consists largely of euphemism, question-begging, and sheer, cloudy vagueness.
