Story title 🔞 Love: Episode 1

We’d just left the coffee shop. When we walked by, she had giggled and pulled me inside, saying, “C’mon, let’s be basic white girls and get some pumpkin spice!”

I don’t like coffee. I never had. But when she handed me my cup and looked into my eyes while I tried it, it was the best thing I’d ever tasted.

My hand still tingled where she grabbed it.

As we walked through the park with our drinks, a light drizzle began to fall. She pulled out an umbrella from her bag, I pulled up my hood and hunched my shoulders.

“Don’t be silly,” she giggled, pulling me under the umbrella with her. I couldn’t help but laugh too, her laugh is infectious.

As the sun started to shine again, she pulled me down to sit on a bench. She beamed down at me, and I could only gaze back adoringly.

“So Ava…” She began. I knew this tone of voice, it’s dangerous.

“Who do you like?” She whispered, and I looked away. I wanted to say, ‘you, you, a thousand times you. You’re the only one I can ever think about. You’re gorgeous and sweet and funny and…’

Instead, I shrugged my shoulders and looked down at my cup.

She looked at me with a cautious smile. “If I tell you mine, will you tell me yours?”

“Okay.” I said.

“The person I like… …is you.”

I drop my drink.

It’s just that lots of men go about it completely the wrong way. Put down that ridiculous lads’ mag with tips from a porn star (clue – most women aren’t porn stars) and read this instead. Because this, my friend, is how to get a woman to sleep with you. 

1. Ask her to sleep with you. If you have the confidence to pull this off, honesty is the best policy. 

2. Forget dick pics. They’re as likely to get you laid as a T-shirt saying I Have Genital Warts. 

3. Love women. Wonder why your ugly mate has more luck with the ladies? He genuinely enjoys their company. If you feel intimidated by women because you’ve been dumped or rejected, this comes across. Find some female friends and learn to relax in their company. 

4. Make her feel beautiful. Not catcalling, dumb ass – this means getting to know her and appreciating when she’s rocking a new Topshop coat. 

5. Play to your strengths. If you’re hot go to the gym and get hotter. If you’ve got a face like a bag full of spanners go from being quite funny to the funniest guy in town. If you’re not funny, work on being the nice guy all the girls are friends with – yes, this takes longer but will pay off eventually. 

6. Be nice to her friends. If they decide you’re a dick you’re never getting in her pants. It never ceases to amaze me how many men forget this. 

7. Learn to appreciate women for more than sex. If you’re just as happy hanging out with them as sleeping with them you have a much better chance as the pressure’s off. 

8. Be a gentleman. Good manners are hot. 

9. If you aren’t a natural bad boy (and I’m afraid that, if you felt the need to read this, you’re not because you’re too busy shagging), steal their tricks. Be cheeky, have a glint in your eye, be persistent in an upbeat way and never be bitter if a girl knocks you back. 

10. Basically just be Ryan Gosling in The Notebook.
