The flowers in the door worked for me.
Don't over-do it. Just something small and almost insignificant.

Then, as you're dating, you can always toss something random onto her car for her to find in the morning. It doesn't always have to be romantic... it can be comical as well after the first thing or two. A small teddy bear type thing for the dashboard.. a candybar..

Learn how to say something in her language (if she speaks another one). Just a single sentence is all it takes.

Here're some examples (phonetically spelled for you too)

Swedish:
Du eh en valdeet vacker kveena. (you are a very beautiful woman)
Say that one fairly quickly so you can hide your swedish accent n00bness. It's really du är en valdigt vacker kvinna, but you pronounce it like I wrote above.

Slovak (although most girls from anywhere in eastern europe will understand... poland, czech rep, prolly bulgaria/hungary too although I'm not sure):
Theen sa peck-na dee-ev-cha. (you are a beautiful woman)
I don't know how to spell this one properly as I've only ever heard it.

Now that she's smiling a bit you have some leeway :)

Oh, and if the eastern european chick is really into you, you think you have a little freedom with your humour without her getting easily offended, and want to get a (possibly) good laugh out of her, point to her rack and say: Dob-ra hov-no (roll the r in dob-ra). Literally this means "good sh!t" but they don't have that phrase in slovak like we do here (that be some GOOD sh!t man!). It means nothing but the literal there so the very very poor language skills you show, as well as the back-handed comment and attempt at humour might have a positive reaction. On the other hand she might slap you and walk away, but just make sure she knows that you really don't know any of her language and you might be okay.

well, you have any suggestions on how to meet girls? ...
As a matter of fact. Ive found its very simple. Dont be a dumbass. Be friendly, witty if your capable. Make yourself presentable. Be confident, not cocky. Keep yourself open to new types of people, situations and activities. Smile a lot. Listen to what they have to say. Make meaningful conversation. Dont take anything too seriously or read into anything too much. Girls like attention, so give it to them.

This is my tactic for creating normal friendships with normal girls. Your body language and spoken language dictactes what direction the relationship will take from there. There are obviously different strategies for just picking up girls, or hooking up with them. Personally thats not my thing and I often find those tactics assholish or cheesy. Also, save your money for a girl you love (dont waste a lot of money looking for love).

The harder you look, the less likely you will find someone (Swingers effect). A few other notes - understand ladder theory, and learn to accept it (especially for you younger ATOTers). Theres a lot more to it, but these are the basics in my opinion.

Also, get a gf. It makes meeting girls a lot easier bc theres no pressure of impressing them :)

I used to have many of the symptoms YAGT OPs have. Especially in HS and beginning of college. After getting a good woman for a gf and growing up. This is what I have learned.

For the first date just concentrate on being funny and charming in an honest, confidant way. On the second date you should have your best hand holding, hair petting, neck kissing moves going on. For the third date it really helps to have a huge schlong.

Problem is, most of the people posting the YAGTs don't even get to Date One - they strike out looking. :p

If you're truly a lousy, boring, sloven bastard with no personality for women to be drawn to then it helps to take on the personality of a celebrity that appeals to you AND women. For a couple of years in the early 90s I had a friend that became Christopher Walken - sounded just like him, walked, dressed, the hair, everything - then through that he gained the confidence to find his own appealing personality. So pick a guy you think is cool, maybe you're a Vin Diesel, Josh Hartnett, Brad Pitt, whoever - you don't have to look like the guy (if you did you wouldn't need any help) but spend your free time practicing acting just like the guy. Rent all his movies and practice the voice, the look, the class, whatever makes you think he's cool. Don't be a caricature, take on that role full time, and when you're ready you can phase that guy out and discover who should be.

make lots of eye contact when you talk to her....
and don't forget the compliments, but don't over do it.

The answer to the age old question:
"Is my ass too big"?
answer:
"your ass could never look better baby"

always a good move
