Hopeless Nerd?

A guy friend was telling me how he was on the verge of giving up on dating girls forever over coffee at Starbucks recently. He was explaining that girls seem too much of a mystery to him and was beginning to suspect that he was just a hopeless nerd. He is not the first guy (or girl for that matter) to confess that to me. I am certainly no love guru and have never claimed to be one, but being a friend, I tried to offer a few suggestions:

1. You don't have to be celebrity kind of good looking but pleasant grooming helps. Simple grooming like clothes and shoes you wear, as well as your haircut matters. Being neat and clean (clean shaven too) is generally most accepted. If you're unsure about fashion, go with a friend to pick clothes.



2. Watch what you say. Stick with some general topics of interest, especially when meeting someone new, like for example, food in Singapore. Avoid making negative comments or being over critical about any topic.



3. Lastly, go find a girl. Picking up a love interest from a bar or pub doesn't quite cut it. There are many places to meet someone and even events organised by SDU (Social Development Unit) should be considered. Make friends for you would never know who you might end up with.

Good Luck!
