1. Never let on how much you like a girl.

2. Always call the shots.

3. Act like wherever you are - that’s the place to be.

4. When ordering food, find out what she wants then order for both of you. It’s a classy move.

There’s a great story about Jack … In the late 70’s there’s a party in the hills of Hollywood, the backyard of some rich, rich man. Famous band playing live, beautiful women everywhere you look.

A beautiful woman comes up to Jack and says, “Hey Jack, do you wanna dance?” He just looked her up and down for about 20 seconds and finally said, “Wrong verb.”
