[BBS] Another List

[redcinemareel]

Attention Gentlemen of the Garden,

Just to be fair for all, I've arrived with yet another handy list, this time for the gentlemen. I may be a bit off on this one compared to the other, and a bit biased. The list doesn't always apply for dating. It can help for making friendships, too. I don't always have a one track mind, you know! Just ninety percent of the time.

1. Keep your eyes above her chin. Obviously.

2. Listen with your ears, not your eyes. She's going to quiz you on whether or not you were indeed listening. If you fail, you might as well give up.

3. Give her compliments, but be suave about it. A man who comes on too strong is a complete turnoff and shows that you're probably a virgin inexperienced.

4. Stalking her is a 'no'. Casually encountering her is far more effective.It will make her think of you a bit more instead of wanting to gauge out your eyes with her stilettos.

5. Dress to impress, and shower. A good smelling man is a plus

6. Redheads are your best choice. This is just a personal opinion.

7. Join that DAN 101 class. You won't regret it!

8. Don't know what to talk about? Something mundane works most times. The weather, classes...but keep an eye out for her interests, just in case. It may be right in front of you!


As usual, any comments you may have can be addressed here. Happy trails, gentlemen!

Grell ♥

Red-heads can be quite sexy.

Also dangerous however. They should only be attempted to handle by professionals.

[redcinemareel]

I never said they weren't!

I only know of one professional. He can handle me anytime~.

Just pointing out, for any other guys reading this and finding this dubious (since some of the ladies complained about Miss Sutcliff's previous list): I've followed most of these points before, and they work perfectly.

Still, a few comments:

2. Do listen with your eyes as well as your ears. Conversations are as much about what the other is saying as they are about what they're not saying. Learning to read body language helps, too.

4. Learning her schedule is okay once you've known each other for a while (you do learn the schedules of your friends after some time, after all). Learning it when you're just getting to know her is borderline stalkerish, though.

[fierybluebird]

Oh, I'm flattered, eh.~

Besides, I'm sure no one else could give you anything close to all that you deserve.

[fierybluebird]

That sounds about right, actually.

[redcinemareel]

You, darling, are wonderful! Your input is quite invaluable. ♥

[redcinemareel]

Ah, my firebird! ♥

You're doing well enough in that context, though!

[fierybluebird]

I do try, eh? Wouldn't want you to go unsatisfied after all.

[redcinemareel]

I doubt I would be unsatisfied with you around...

...

On second thought, I take that back. ♥ You're such a tease.

[fierybluebird]

Is that so?

I could come over there and satisfy you right now.

[redcinemareel]

Then you'd better hurry, or I won't be around.

[fierybluebird]

Where are you going?

[redcinemareel]

I don't see you moving~.

[fierybluebird]

I can't talk to you if I leave the computer behind.

Where are you going?

5. Dress to impress, and shower. A good smelling man is a plus

All good advice, but this one especially. Nobody wants to date someone who smells like they've never bathed.


Maybe I should offer my fashion advice for the greater good of everybody at Garden.

I think being sincere is important too. Lying to someone just to get them to like you probably isn't the best way to start off a relationship.

And most importantly is to remember names. Particularly the right one for the right person.

[redcinemareel]

Ah...

I'll be in my room. Who knows how long.

[fierybluebird]

Maybe I'll just have to keep you there.

[redcinemareel]

I dare you.

Action

[fierybluebird]

[Practically kicks the door down in his rush to get over there.]

I see you haven't left yet.

Action

[redcinemareel]

[Had just gotten back to his room, and went to just grab his diary before the door flew open, turning quickly to the intruder with his hand outstretched to his side in anticipation of pulling out his scythe. Blinks and grins.]

You're so quick! I was juuuuust on my way out.

Re: Action

[fierybluebird]

Really? That's too bad. I have a bet to settle. And I don't intend to lose. [Pounces to to the bed and pins Grell down around the shoulders and quietly nuzzles and nips.]

[turnip-rage.livejournal.com]

Watch me care. This is a school BBS, not some gossip magazine's self-help column.

Action (and here comes that higher rating note. >.>)

[redcinemareel]

[This was an interesting turn of events, as Grell was one who dished out the pouncing. He yelped as they both landed on his bed, his journal somewhere on the floor now and completely forgotten about as his neck was attacked in the best sort of way. His hair was a sea of red beneath them.

Grell wasn't about to go anywhere, but that didn't mean he couldn't try. It made things more interesting.]

This..is a nice way to settle it... [Giggles softly.] I should challenge you more often~. [Tries to lift himself up, but clearly, Marco was stronger than him.]

[redcinemareel]

By all means, do so! You might never know who you'll help!
