When I was in high school, one of my friends was the most sought-after girl in school. I had other friends that were prettier, smarter, and nicer but boys were crazy for her.
It took me a little while, but I finally figured out why she was constantly asked out, in a relationship or every guy’s dream girl. She was approachable.
She was pretty but not beautiful. She was smart, but not a know it all. She was always friendly, smiling and nice. Her secret: Every guy thought they had a shot at her. They always felt comfortable talking to her and she always made them feel great about themselves. She is now married to a wonderful guy who is also the whole package.

This is the first DivineCaroline.com article which I’ve seen that I fully approve. I realize that my approval is vitally important to everyone (not), but still… it was only two pages (not the standard 3 or more), each page had a decent amount of text on it (not the usual paragraph or two), and the points all made sense.
Well done, DivineCaroline.com!

@EmmayElle: Me too.
And I definitely have to make sure I give that final nudge. I always forget to do that. But then again, he *should* know I’m interested. I mean, I didn’t walk away when you began to talk to me.

@impoddity: That (not walking away) just implies you’re polite, not interested.

I’m thinking this girl had a secret weapon, like bacon-scented perfume. Most guys fall for the bacon trap.

By 30, most men have approached and spoken to several thousand women and only gotten a handful of positive responses. The other responses have run from cool to dismissive to rude to humiliating. After a few years of that, only a masochist doesn’t become risk-averse.
That said, bacon-scented perfume might be a game-changer.

I have to admit, I’d fall for it.

Guys need to realize girls aren’t necessarily icy, but maybe shy.
... and insanely socially awkward.
