Okay – I’m a guy.

I’m straight … so we can put aside same sex strategies. This is a strictly male – female article.

A pick up takes many different forms.

First we don’t call it a pick up …. because it really isn’t … it just makes for a good article header.

You’ve read or heard this before – be yourself.

Well no … don’t be yourself … if that worked you wouldn’t be reading this article!

• Know yourself …. 

The key to others feeling good about you is you feeling good about yourself.

Like a baseball player  - you often hit a home run when you least expected too.

• Be prepared.

• make yourself happy

If you are not happy you cannot make anyone around you happy.

Look good and feel good about yourself.

Looking good doesn’t mean you need plastic surgery. Let’s face it very few men and woman get to be Miss or Mr America.

In fact looks don’t mean a thing. Many, many divorced individuals can tell you that.

The most beautiful people can become very ugly very fast.

However health is very important …. being of sound mind and body is the first step.

Exercise and watch what you eat.

Your hair and skin are extremely important as are your teeth.

Bath often and brush often  - both teeth and hair.

Pamper yourself with skin care and hygienic lotions and potions.

SMELL GOOD!

Good overall hygiene – including ears, complexion, and weight.

Your appearance to others should match your vitality and energy …. clothing  designed as fishing lures should be avoided at all costs.

You want to dress casually and look like a department store mannequin.

In fact shop in the better stores and use the mannequin to pick out your outfits. Store designers get paid a lot of money to pick the right assortment of blouses, shirts and trousers.

Designer lines that are full are a good way to go.

You needn’t spend a fortune but wear what is appropriate for what you are doing and the time of the year.

Clothing consignment shops can yield some very nice articles at even nicer prices.

Okay  - if you’ve gotten this far a few weeks and months should have passed.

You like what you see .. and you’ll start to see – so do others. No matter if it’s friends and family. They are an excellent audience.

If those close to you start to remark on the improvements you’ve made  - your almost there.

And whatever you do DON’T TELL ANYONE WHAT YOU ARE DOING!

It is your present to yourself … and if you fail – only you should know.

This way you can pick yourself up and start all over  -which is exactly what I want you to do!

At this point you may be saying  - okay so how do I find a boy or girl friend?

Well by now it likely has already happened and you don’t realize it.

At work, at your gym or the local store. Perhaps some club you belong too or a class you are taking.

Somebody out there has begun to notice you even if you haven’t noticed them yet!

The point is  - don’t look for anyone – they’ll find you once you’ve pulled it all together.

After all who can resist a healthy, happy, well dressed, well groomed individual who is fit and trim and self-confident!

Just don’t let your guard down and don’t settle or regress.

Just feel 100% good about yourself and something good will happen.
