''Want to have your dream girl or guy swoon over you? It's easy! Just: (select your gender)''
 
'''Females:'''
# Be the [[First Girl Wins|first one]] at the entrance when he comes in. (If someone else got there first, you can always [[Last Girl Wins|try waiting til the end]].)
# [[Alias (TV series)|Dye]] your hair [[Heroes Want Redheads|red]].
# If he's an American, become a [[All Guys Want Cheerleaders|cheerleader]].
# Don't settle for a simple greeting; make your first meeting with him [[Meet Cute|extremely convoluted or sappy]] to prove that only fate could have thrown you two together. The [[Crash Into Hello]] meeting is especially popular.
Line 12:
# Make absolutely sure that you give each other your [[First Kiss]]. [[Indirect Kiss|Sharing straws]] is acceptable; the rule of thumb here is if it can give mono, it probably counts.
# Tell him you [[Childhood Marriage Promise|promised to marry him]] when you were five. This always, always, ''always'' works, just so long as he doesn't find out you're lying or remember that when he was five, he was [[Girls Have Cooties|afraid of girls]]. If he does, however, you [[Unlucky Childhood Friend|instantly lose it all]].
# If he's a manly man with rippling biceps, become the [[Distressed Damsel in Distress]] to be [[Rescue Romance|swept up]] into his arms.
# Failing that, be a [[Doom Magnet]], and find a man who is equally one himself. You'll [[Battle Couple|bond together for safety alone]], even if you don't consider him your truest love. [[Be a Whore Toto Get Your Man|Promising him sex]] will help ensure that he [[Closed Circle|doesn't try to leave]], [[Death By Pragmatism|which would only get him killed anyway]]. Just don't have ''[[Death Byby Sex|too much]]'' sex.
# Somehow bribe the gods into [[Cleaning Up Romantic Loose Ends|removing all competition]], leaving you as their sole choice.
# [[Beautiful All Along|Get contacts and let your hair down]].
Line 24:
# [[Disabled Love Interest|Get a not-too-crippling disability]]. If you don't like the idea of permanently hurting yourself, [[Ill Girl|try getting a not-too-disfiguring and non-contagious disease]]. Nothing invokes those chivalrous instincts like a cough in the right moment. Watch out, though: if you're too good at, you may end up [[Too Good for This Sinful Earth|dying in the end]].
# And make sure you ''never'' come off as [[No Guy Wants to Be Chased|being overly eager or aggressive]].
# Offer to [[Hands -On Approach|teach him how to dance]].
# ...or [[Duet Bonding|play a piano duet together]].
# [[Love At First Note|Sing]].
# Secretly be male. A [[Wholesome Crossdresser]] never fails to get some important guys after shim.
# Of course [[Sweet Onon Polly Oliver|dressing like a man]] works well too.
# If all else fails, [[Rape Is Love|force yourself]] onto him. It'll give you something to [[Rape Is Ok When It Is Female On Male|laugh about]] afterwards! {{color|red|'''Warning:''' If you're in real life, doing this will at least screw up your karma and at most get you a life sentence or on-site death.}}
# ...this may sound outrageous but.....if he happens to be [[Soul Brotha|black]], [[Where Da White Women At?|be white. Just...be white]] Seriously, this works way more often than it sounds.
** If he's anything else, [[Ambiguously Brown]] will usually work. Bonus points if you're [[Pocahontas|a "savage"]].
# Your [[Designated Love Interest|main competition]] isn't allowed to admit her feelings until just before the end credits. Therefore, admit yours much sooner and attempt to gather enough audience sympathy make the confession stick.
Line 48:
# [[Chivalrous Pervert|Proposition her heavily but don't force her]]. If you do it properly, she may consider your offer indeed.
# It never hurts to sacrifice a goat or two to get the [[Powers That Be]] to [[Cleaning Up Romantic Loose Ends|uneven out the playing field in your favor]].
# Offer to [[Hands -On Approach|teach her to swing a baseball bat]].
# [[Rescue Romance|Rescue]] her from danger. Seriously, this usually always works.
# Get a job as her [[Bodyguard Crush|bodyguard]].
Line 56:
# If she happens to be a [[Hot Amazon]] and [[Best Her to Bed Her]] ''doesn't'' apply , try playing the [[Weakness Turns Her On|physically weak, frail, helpless]] [[Ill Boy]].
** Alternatively, [[Guile Hero|prove that you can outdo her with your smarts rather than your strength]].
# Offer to help clean off that [[Romance -Inducing Smudge|bit of food stuck to her cheek]].
# Special Note: If [[Where Da White Women At?|you happen to be black, and she just so happens to be white, there are a TON of options available]]. These include:
** [[Soul Brotha|Grow an afro and just be really, really cool]].
** [[Bald Black Leader Guy|Or, shave your head and just be really, really cool]].
** Lose the [[Uncle Tomfoolery]].
** Become [[Barack Obama|President of]] [[Twenty Four24|the United States]].
** Become [[Blazing Saddles|the new Sheriff of Rock Ridge]]. Though, some folks might need to get used to you.
*** If you do go this route, and all else fails, just offer to prove to them that [[Biggus Dickus|the rumors are, in fact, true]].
