Are you trying to find that hunk-a-man to complete you like Mini-Me completes Dr. Evil? If so you&#8217;re in luck for today here at Loveawake, I shall share with you the do&#8217;s and don&#8217;ts to getting that guy that you want. And trust me ladies, it&#8217;s NOWHERE near as hard as you think. It just requires finesse, a little elbow grease, and the ability to read.<\/p>\n<p>Are you ready? Well, Ready? Set. Go.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do<\/strong>\u00a0smile frequently. Not sure why women don&#8217;t realize that a little smile goes a long way. Men like approachable women and those that smile seem like they might hear you out without biting you. Now this doesn&#8217;t mean walking around looking like you stole a clown face and\/or accidentally got your face frozen in a smile like they always said would happen but you didn&#8217;t really believe if you kept smiling so much. So do smile, but\u00a0<strong>don&#8217;t<\/strong>\u00a0smile so hard and unnaturally that you kind of resemble Jack Nicholson in the first Batman movie. And holy rusted metal Batman, did he scare the Batsh*t out of me.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don&#8217;t<\/strong>\u00a0dress like a hoochie mama. Unless of course you want the kind of guy who really likes hoochie mamas and would still use a very popular term from the late 90s in 2010. At the same time,\u00a0<strong>do<\/strong>\u00a0try to be a little sexxy. I mean you&#8217;re trying to impress a guy who&#8217;s probably okay with\u00a0<span style=\"text-decoration: line-through\">a little country a little bit of rock &#8216;n roll<\/span>\u00a0premarital sex, not the Pope. We like to use our imaginations, but all of us don&#8217;t have JK Rowling&#8217;s imagination.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do<\/strong>\u00a0be yourself &#8211; unless you suck &#8211; in which case,\u00a0<strong>don&#8217;t<\/strong>\u00a0be yourself but somebody who might actually be the kind of person who if you were yourself (you know, being that person that isn&#8217;t you) other people might actually like to be around and possibly want to consider copulation with. Lying isn&#8217;t a good thing, but neither is sucking.<\/p>\n<p>Well, not that kind anyway.<\/p>\n<p>Huzzah!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don&#8217;t<\/strong>\u00a0be afraid to be different and goofy. Any guy who can&#8217;t accept you and your quirks is probably not the guy for you anyway. However, I&#8217;d highly recommend that you\u00a0<strong>DON&#8217;T<\/strong>\u00a0pull out that collection of dusty retainers you&#8217;ve been collecting from attics of famous signers of the Declaration of Independence&#8230;mostly because I&#8217;m not sure Ben Franklin had invented the retainer yet.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, I have no idea if he invented the retainer but since he invented everything else I figured I&#8217;d take a shot. That and the Nintendo Wii. I&#8217;m pretty sure Benjamin Franklin invented that.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do<\/strong>\u00a0put out positive energy. I&#8217;m an energy guy and I prefer that the people and specifically the women I&#8217;m around aren&#8217;t Debbie Downers or go out of their way to find clouds on perfectly sunny days. However,\u00a0<strong>don&#8217;t<\/strong>\u00a0go out there finding the silver lining if my dog died. While I&#8217;m glad I don&#8217;t have to find anymore dog poo in my Ferragamo&#8217;s, I&#8217;d much rather have my dog. So cork it, sister.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don&#8217;t<\/strong>\u00a0stab the guy you&#8217;re interested unless he gives you a good reason, then\u00a0<strong>do<\/strong>\u00a0also mace him.<\/p>\n<p>So basically,<strong>\u00a0do<\/strong>\u00a0be the kind of person men actually want to date and\u00a0<strong>don&#8217;t<\/strong>\u00a0suck.<\/p>\n<p>Well, not like that anyway.<\/p>\n<p><em>Photo by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/QD6ug4ie7y4?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Zoriana Stakhniv<\/a>\u00a0on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/search\/photos\/love-couple?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Unsplash<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is love on your menu?
