I have also decided to let my hair grow again. Been shaving it weekly on a blade 1 for the past 1 1/2 years. It's thinnish on top but not too bad, I think something decent can be done with it.

Reminds me of the time I was away for the weekend with a few of the lads. Just about remembered taking my wallet etc out of my pocket before going into bed. Woke up drunk on Sunday morning and there was no phone in sight. Checked the pockets of my jeans and it wasn't there. Found it in the pocket of my jeans the next day.

Best of luck shannonman.
Just remember all the stuff you've heard, it's all true!
Relax. Don't go chasing it. Put her at ease. Make her laugh a few times if you can. Plenty of eye contact (not in a stary way though!). Don't be "I, I, I" all the time, but do throw in a few "me too"s where appropriate - it shows you're listening and you have similar interests / experiences. And actually do listen!

And remember the 60/40 rule - 60% listening, 40% talking.

A mate of mine was laid off at the start of the year. He's working in Supermacs now doing 12-hour shifts, but he's making the best of it. It's a paycheque at least.

If you have a mortgage, I can't stress strongly enough to GO AND TALK TO YOUR MORTGAGE PROVIDER!!!! They will do their best to help you. Don't wait until you miss a payment!!

What if she's one of these very nice but very quite/shy girls though? The long silences would be awkward enough.

Hate dates like that. Make an effort goddammit!

Anyway, don't talk about you, just keep asking her questions about herself. Girls like all that.

Have at least 6 pints before you arrive. Your nerves will be in better shape and you'll have a fascinating and desperately humorous opinion on every possible subject.

**Lev Yashin** · 31/07/2009, 12:17 PM
