When it comes to putting the moves on someone, no one can make themselves rejection-proof. But you can increase the odds of a good outcome.

To complete this How-To you will need:

Eye contact
A warm smile
Cheese
Circumspection
Dignity

Step 1: Look for cues

Before approaching someone, try to catch their eye. If they hold your gaze for a moment and then fiddle with their appearance — like straighten their shoulders or touch their hair — chances are they're interested.

Tip: Ladies, go man-hunting when you're ovulating. Research shows that men are subconsciously attracted to women who are in that part of their cycle, which occurs 12 to 16 days before menstruation begins.

Step 2: Lock eyes

If you've managed to engage your crush in a conversation, maintain eye contact. It's called the "anchoring gaze" and it fosters feelings of intimacy.

Step 3: Order some cheese

If there's any way to work a cheese platter into the evening, do so. Cheese is chock full of the chemical phenylethylamine, an aphrodisiac.

Tip: Cheesy pickup lines, on the other hand, are a turnoff!

Step 4: Don't overshare

Don't provide too much information upfront. Ex-lovers, copious numbers of pets, prison stints, and radical weight loss procedures are best left for another time.

Step 5: Beat 'em to the punch

If it becomes obvious that the person you're chatting up is not interested in you — their eyes are wandering; they're grunting one-word responses; they're not smiling — say, "It was nice meeting you," and move on.

  • lmao I told a girl once she would be hotter if she didnt have such small tits... nwo I know what I did wrong

  • Seriously, I guess the reason why women don't make the first move and ask men out is because since our culture and society has made that the status quo, and it is traditional, why would women bother changing that tradition, why would they bother risk being rejected when they can let all the men come to them? Women can get away doing nothing, so of course they are going to want to get away with it.
