"...and then it was literally a race to the next door. I managed to open it before he did. Then he looked like he was pulling out a chair for me. I quickly grabbed the one next to it."
My friend had just gotten back from a first date and she was filling me in with the details.
The guy was apparently terrific, but for the desperate impersonation of "Mr. Perfect."
Do you see her wearing a gown, donning a hat over the tight bun and wearing elbow-length gloves? No? Then don't go about acting like her Knight in Shining Armor. More often than not, we're looking for a normal boy who has his laces in a lump and fumbles with words. We're not on the hunt for a savior, and in case you thought otherwise, we're not looking to be rescued.
Every girl nurtures the distant dream to meet Prince Charming, but I'd rather have mine in a white shirt and blue jeans than in a metal armor that clanks too much.
As much as I'd want it to be, we don't wake up in Bollywood world every morning. So this whole effort to woo isn't going to get you the results you want. You'll feature in the sleepover conversations for sure, but you won't be anywhere near being the Chosen One.
In today's world, every woman strives to be independent. Anyone who's looking for a girl to command and control is chasing a distant dream. Gone are the days when a beautiful face would hide behind the ghoonghat.
In between a desperate attempt to be her jailor or a wimpy shot at being her chauffeur is the man she wants you to be.
Opening doors and pulling chairs doesn't make you half as chivalrous as lending an occasional shoulder or draping your jacket around her does.
Let her take the wheel, she's not going to kill you.
Let her pick up the bill, she doesn't always need you to pay for her.
Screw the 'gentle', be the man she knows you can be.
Screw everything else, really. White shirt and blue jeans. That's all you need.
