I have a confession to make: I love "tricks" that can be used on women and during dating which brings me satisfying results.

Ok, before I get accused of conning women, let me explain myself.

When I say "trick", I mean a way to achieve a desired result easily and more effectively.

Think of a time when you witnessed something which did not make sense, or seemed impossible, until you are shown the trick to making it happen, such as an impressive magical illusion. When you learn how it's done, you would probably say: "Ha, it's so easy, even a kid can do it."

Something like that happened to me recently.

A friend of mine, Alex, shared with me how anyone can tear a thick phonebook in half with bare hands. He is also into other weird stuff, such as how to learn a foreign language in a month and finding 'shortcuts' in life.

I used to see that trick performed on TV and was always amazed by it, until he told me how that trick was done.

In case you want to know, the secret is to bake the phonebook in an oven, as this causes he pages to become brittle and breakable, and there you have it, even a weakling can now tear an entire phonebook in half with his bare hands.

Such "tricks" exist, even in areas like succeeding with women and dating.

Let me share one here.

When a guy doesn't know how to ask for a woman's contact number, he would ask the following: "Can I have your number?", only to have the lady refuse him.

The ugly truth is that asking a woman in such a direct manner will bring about a negative response from her, because asking a woman: "Can I have your number?" brings about  a lousy response because it engenders an uncomfortable feeling in a woman - that she is told to something against her will. It is not so different from the same uncomfortable feeling you get when someone asks you: "Can I borrow $50 bucks from you?"

Some girls will even use it as a chance to play hard-to-get from there.

So, the trick here is NOT to 'ask'. Instead, use a 'casual command', which requires you to matter-of-factly lead a woman to pass you her phone number, and gets you much better results.

When you talk to a girl, end the conversation by casually saying: "Alright, I've got to run. I go on MSN sometimes at night and we can carry on chatting next time I'm online. Take down my number in your handphone and send me a message with your MSN address in it."

Recite your number to her, and wait until she punches it into her phone and sends you that text message with her MSN address.

As you may have realized by now, you have secured both her MSN and phone number all at once.

But you may be thinking, 'What if she says she doesn't use MSN?'

Then here's your 'rescue line': "You're kidding. These days, the only people without MSN are kids below 3 and senior citizens above 90. [Smile] Meanwhile,
between now and the time you get msn, we'll keep in touch through phone."

As usual, keep your tone casual and light-hearted.

That's it, you still end up with her number.

Use the above tip well, and have fun socialising.
