If you want to get the girl, here's some generic, motherly advice about some little things that matter--
Attention matters. If you're going to keep your nose buried in a PSP, she may believe that you are far more enamoured with the virtual babe--whom, I must stress, does not exist in real life--than with her. Don't listen to your iPod when she's talking to you. Don't hie off to your own personal, safe mental and emotional place when you're together. Be present to the moment. Be present to her.
Personal hygiene matters. It's far easier to snuggle when you actually smell good. I don't mean you should douse yourselves with aftershave or perfume. Soap and water do the trick just fine. Keep your hair neat. Again, this does not mean a buzzcut. You can wear your hair long or short, but keep it clean and dandruff-free. Keep your nails clean, too. She won't get close to you if she thinks you'll give her tetanus or rabies. And brush your teeth. It's no fun kissing someone with bad breath.
Clothes make the man. Unless you are a 10-year old, stop dressing like one. Wear shirts and pants that fit well. Launder them regularly. Constantly looking like you just rolled out of bed in yesterday's clothes is not seductive.
Table manners matter. Know what to do with a spoon, a fork, a knife. Close your mouth when you chew. Don't pick your teeth (or any other part of your body) in public.
Following these tips is not going to guarantee you love for the rest of your life. But I dare say it won't hurt your chances.
