7. The intention Finding someone to share living expenses with However: that’s not the way things are

8. Lesson I Carefully consider the setting It’s not like in the comics......but some of the puls might work

9. Comics Am I dead, Angel? Cause this must be heaven! And how are you doing... (not a question) Where have I seen you before? Were you arrested earlier? It's gotta be illegal to look that good.

10. Lesson II From movies: great! At least, they work on TV From business: Yeah, right... Ok when you do the blondes. From me: wait and see... Examples will come

11. Movies Do you know what'd look good on you? Me. Your Daddy must have been a Baker, cos you got the nicest set of buns I've ever saw. I'm good at math, U+I=69 Please help the homeless. Take me home with you...

12. Tips 1 Ikke vær edru når du prøver ”movies” PULs

13. Business I've just moved you to the top of my 'to do' list. Apart from being sexy, what do you do for a living? Be unique and different, just say yes

14. Others Do you think I could borrow that dress sometime? Hi, will you help me find my lost puppy? I think he went into this cheap hotel room across the street. Got two nipples for a dime? Damn, if being sexy was a crime, you'd be guilty as charged!

15. Others (II) Your Daddy must play the trumpet, cos he sure made me horny! Why don't you come over here, sit on my lap and we'll talk about the first thing that pops up? Do I know you from somewhere, because I don't recognize you with your clothes on? You've made me so nervous that I've totally forgotten forgotten my standard pick-up line.

16. Others (III) Excuse me, I just noticed you noticing me and I just wanted to give you notice that I noticed you too. Was your Father a mechanic? Then how did you get such a finely tuned body? You are like a candy bar: half sweet and half nuts. That's a nice shirt. Can I talk you out of it?

17. But... These were all sexish Believe it or not, I am not like that Don’t focus on sex before it’s time to do so Sometimes on the first date.......more often on the 7th

18. Me Use ”funny” ways of approaching them Even girls working in the bar Girls sitting close to your table Friends of friends are tricky, though

19. Me again Don’t try to be anyone else Been there, done that, might do it again Most important thing: have a good time – SHE is supposed to have a good time as well Don’t fart – don’t be silent – don’t be afraid – blushing is ok, focus on her eyes, make her smile

20. Disasters I admire you, but I can’t tell you who I am.... I have to sit with you beside the window, because I love sitting beside the window, and by the way I have always done so, and... Blablabla. Why not: ”Can we sit together?” (timing is important)

21. In the worst cases... You need a value proposition Correct proportions (your body) Huge lots of money Tall and dark, or blond? Excercizes You’ll have to pretend that you’re a VIP (horrible)

22. My own situation right now?? You’ll never get any comment on this

23. Good luck!!! See you out there, competitors!
