She either gets tired of waiting or begins to see you as a ugood friend which means no mustard in every case. Start over 'ufain with someone new. You lose.

It had better be good, and a good idea is to underrate it a bit when you describe it to her, so that she can be somewhat surprised that it turned out to be any fun at all. It's a fair het with this sort of thing that sheis interested in you, though she may he interested in developing film or whatever, but remember that itis never too late for a girl to suddenly remember that her aunt has someone that she's supposed to meet or something like that-go on to 5C. Prom, formal, etc. ll Co through the extensive hassle and expense of tux, flowers, etc., in a vain attempt to impress her with the transformation. Remember to shave and go on to 5B.

Several drinks andfor beers might help both of you believe this. Co on to step 7. Unless you did something like spill the soup, lead the conga line with your pants off, tell her what you really think of her friends, push her down the elevator shaft in a fit of pique, or something equally unseemly, your clever sophisticate ruse probably worked. Go on to 7 after checking through 6. Didn't work, did it? She tried to act interested, but you could tell. Ah, Well. Try 5A:2. If it works, go on to 6. If not, figure it out really fast so that maybe she'll give you another chance. So go on to QC. Qcontinued page 24j

Let your arm fall idly about her shoulder, then immediately reappraise the situation according to her reaction. You need to be cautious. Here again, if it works, it works. Take all the hints she might give, like tearing your hands from her in a rage or kneeing you in the groin. Girls do these little things to indicate subtle disapproval.
