The Art of Courtship

The process of courtship is an endeavor that most men hope to eventually engage in. The problem is that a lot of men have no idea about how to proceed down the road of courtship. I think most men make the process too difficult. So, I suggest the following plan of attack to keep things as simple as possible.

There are many ways that a man could initiate the process of courtship. The way I see it though, there is only one way to start out, and that is by saying to a female, “I am interested in engaging in the process of courtship with you. Do you accept this offer?” After she says “Yes”, as this is a statement that is sure to pull at the heartstrings of any female, you need to decide quickly how to respond. Since simple is the way to go, I suggest going with one of three options. (The only way that you could get a response of “No” is if the female is already in a relationship. To make sure this doesn’t happen, take a quick glance at her left hand. If the left ring finger is clear, you then just need to determine whether or not she has a boyfriend. If you are confident that she doesn’t have a boyfriend, I suggest going straight to the proposition listed above. If you are not confident, I suggest using a subtle lead-in question such as “Do you expect that a man will place jewelry on your left hand anytime soon?” to give you a little more information about whether or not she has a boyfriend.)

If you think this is a classy lady looking for a classy gentleman, respond, “Excellent. You can expect a cellist, roses, and eggs benedict at sunrise.” A few more months of classiness like this and you will surely be on the way to your local jewelry store my friend.

A more laid-back female might find the statement in the last paragraph to be a classic example of “coming on too strong” and in rare cases could get you a restraining order. So, for the more laid-back female that might not be looking for a serious relationship right away, respond, “Cool, cool. I’ll catch you later baby.” (Hand female your phone number as you say this and then promptly walk away.) This may seem like a risk because she will have your phone number and you will not have her number. But trust me, in a couple of days, you will get a text asking, “What are you up to?” You will respond to this by saying, “Just playing it cool baby. You know my style.” A few more weeks of texting where you use “baby” and “cool” plenty of times and Beyonce’s “Single Ladies” will surely be off her playlist my friend. (It should be noted that even the most laid-back female might be bothered by the fact that she never actually sees you and wondering why you are always “playing it cool.” If you sense that this is the case, send a text saying, “Baby, you’re so hot, I can’t help but play it cool.” This text is sure to set your relationship back on track.)

So far we have covered the extreme ends of the spectrum. Let’s finish by covering what to do when you encounter a female that falls somewhere in the middle. With the midrange female, you will want to respond, “Great. Would you like to go to a malt shop?” After she responds “Yes”, as this is a proposition that any midrange female will find hard to resist, you may think that you have gotten past the difficult part. However, it is not the 1950s. So, finding a genuine malt shop can be difficult. (Trust me, Dairy Queen and Culver’s just don’t work.) There is no doubt in my mind that the lack of malt shops has derailed many a man’s chances with a midrange female. Once you find that malt shop though, you will certainly be on one knee in only a few months my friend.

Now that you have been enlightened on the finer points of courtship, get out there and make it happen. And remember, always take a peek at the left hand and always keep a list of the closest malt shops in your pocket. (It doesn’t hurt to know a good cellist either.)
