You don\u2019t need a girlfriend.<\/span><\/strong> They\u2019re great to have around, but if you don\u2019t get a date tonight, you aren\u2019t going to die. You aren\u2019t even going to be bored, because you\u2019re a fun and interesting person who is capable of entertaining himself. If the women you meet don\u2019t accept your offer of a date, you have a backup plan.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">2. Most women are friendly, polite, and will try their best to give you a chance.<\/span><\/strong> Your job is also to be friendly, polite, and to try your best to give them a chance.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">3. Nothing is at stake when you first introduce yourself.<\/span><\/strong> All you\u2019re trying to do is say hello. You don\u2019t have to follow up with a brilliant conversation or a grand gesture \u2013 you can move on to someone else if you want.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">4. If you introduce yourself to enough single women, sooner or later one will begin a conversation with you.<\/span><\/strong> And a conversation is halfway to a date.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">5. Keep your body language open.<\/span><\/strong> Keep your hands open and out of your pockets, and your arms and legs uncrossed. Practice maintaining a confident posture without looking arrogant.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">6. Try not to get too concerned about how important your first impression is.<\/span><\/strong> It\u2019s important, but a bad impression can usually be fixed if you catch it early. And if you can\u2019t fix it, there are still other women to meet.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">7. Your first goal isn\u2019t to meet women and get a date.<\/span><\/strong> Actually, your first goal is to practice giving the appearance of a confident, secure, interesting person. Once that starts feeling comfortable, you\u2019ll have women introducing themselves to you.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">8. There are a few gestures you can use to show a woman you\u2019re interested in her \u2013 meeting her eyes, straightening your tie or coat, and straightening up your posture.<\/span><\/strong> She is guaranteed to pick up on these, even if it\u2019s only subconsciously.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\">The main thing to remember is this: you may be interested in a woman, but you can still live without her.
