Hi there. I wrote to you a couple of months back about a girl that I was struggling with who is in the honeymoon stage. You said to be patient. So,I have moved on to another girl, but I still want the other girl badly.

The Playa:

Dear Drab Tostitos,

We said be patient, not give up!

And, we're a bit confused over here at the GirlfriendStealer HQ war room. What's the status of the girl you're currently focussing your attention on? Is she single? If so, forget her. If she does have a boyfriend, then you should play the two off against each other and end up stealing both.

How long should I wait.

The Playa:

Until the honeymoon is over. It should be by now, according to the alignment of Mars and Jupiter in the nighttime sky.

DT

When do you know when to really give 100%.

The Playa:

You should bring out the hammer when you know it'll work. Sometimes that's just having a few drinks and jumping into bed... sometimes it's after months and maybe years of careful cultivation.

I've pretty well just been a little more than a friend up to this point. Does flowers or anything like that work or would she think that I am too crazy for her.

The Playa:

Flowers are like the four letter L word. They are what she wants froma guy who won't give them to her, or who she's already dating, which means that it's probably the same guy. Flowers from a third party such as yourself are an open, unwelcome message. Your strengths are subtlety, double entendres, and implying what you mean but never saying it. You have to entice her, and the last thing you want to do is to come right out and say what you mean. If you ever bare your heart to her, she'll just stick the nearest sharp implement into it, and you're screwed. Besides, you should not become emotionally involved with your conquests. They are, after all, conquests.

DT

Do you have any ideas on what I should be doing daily to get her to think about me like I think about her.

The Playa:

Yeah. The typical stuff.

1. Don't call her, let her call you.
2. When she does call you, tell her about some hot chick you met.
3. Be called away from the phone, or leave the conversation because of the upcoming date with said hot chick.
4. Keep laying hints and subtle compliments.
5. If and when she returns a compliment, laugh at it (not evilly, but in a good natured kind of way...) "Really? I'm always surprised when people say that to me..." You come off as modest, whether you are or not.

Women want the men that women want. Remember that. If you already havea woman, it's easy to trade up. If you don't, you're stuck. So, geta woman and you can go from there to get this one.

The other basic tools of the girlfriendstealer remain:

1. Horses.
2. Motorcycles.
3. Dogs (puppies preferred)
4. Babies
