How to catch someone’s eye?

Which activities do you think will better work on girls? And which on boys? Get a baby-sitting his/her little sister five night a week. Serenade him/her under his/her bedroom window. Stick a light-bulb on the top of your head and light it up whenever he/she comes near. Bake him/her a cake and decorate it with sugar hearts. Ask him/her to help you with your maths/chemistry/history homework. Put an ad in your local paper saying how much you like him/her and asking if he/she would like to go on a date. Offer to carry his/her books to school – every day. Buy him/her a star and have it named after him/her.

Go round to his/her house and tell him/her that you’re selling kisses for charity and insist he/she buys at least ten. Send him/her a Valentine – even if it’s November. Dress yourself up in a fancy dress and parade up and down his/her street till you drive him/her nuts. Don’t be a wallflower! Offer to teach him/her a few dance moves. Write his/her name all over your school books and sometimes drop them at his/her feet. Dedicate a song to him/her on your local radio station. Don’t beat around the bush! Spill the beans at once! Tell him/her you love him/her/ Simple as that!

A Letter to a Sweetheart A young man was writing a letter to his sweetheart who lived just a few miles away in a nearby town. He began to tell her how much he loved her and how wonderful he thought she was. But the more he wrote, the more poetical he became. Finally, he said that in order to be with her he would suffer the greatest hardships, he would face the greatest dangers that anyone could imagine. In fact, to spend only one minute with her, he would climb the highest mountain, he would swim the widest river, he would fight the fiercest animals. He signed his name, and then suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to mention something rather important. So, in a PostScript below his name, he added: "By the way, I'll be over to see you on Wednesday night - if it doesn't rain.”
