Hi there Chauntel!

I just wanted to ask you about my situation. Well here’s the situation. This girl that works at the same place I work at (Walmart) is whom I really like. Shes black. Now I’m Filipino and shes Jamaican. Just saying lol

Someone in my department had told her that I like her and I heard that she smiled about it. So what does that mean? Is that a sign that she likes me as well? Or just so that shes flattered and plus she’s 22 and I’m 19 turning 20.

Hi CJ,

Well, a smile is universal for happy. Beyond that, there is not much else we can know for sure.

What I recommend is you approach her, and ask her out for ice cream. See if she is interested. Schedule the time a little after lunch, but before dinner. If Ice cream goes well you can take a walk in the park right after, or schedule time to meet up again. The next meet up time will be for a more formal date like dinner, and an activity like: bowling, miniature golf, hiking, or something else that is interactive and will give you all the opportunity to talk. Save the movie for the second or third date, you cannot talk much at a movie.

I Hope This Helps!

How to be a Smart Guy but Still Attract Girls

Hi Phil,

Hi Chauntel,
Eye, I am a nerd. How can I stay a brainy guy and attract women without dumbing myself down?

Hey Phil,

Be yourself, but don’t make her feel that you are arrogant. Meet her at her level, and make her feel wonderful and beautiful. Don’t spend too much time talking about yourself. Make her feel appreciated, and let her know that you are interested in her by asking her questions concerning who she is.

This will take some of the attention off of you, and make you more appealing to her. Never, dumb yourself down for any woman. You are who you are, and if she cannot accept that, then she is not the right one for you.

Brains are attractive, but arrogance is not.

You dig?
