Brownie Points P.A has always stated that the advice offered falls under the realm of practical and simple. This is no rom-com, chick flick-loving, dating doctor in disguise. Hence, the tangible listings usually proffered. In this post, the advice imparted may seem 'dating doctor'-ish. But it's as as practical as keeping yourself popular and having your balls - er, ego - stroked. Anything more complicated and it's just a punish.
A friend I know loves taking 'recently-seeing' girls away to his holiday house. He deems it 'Sex on Tour'. She thinks it's a romantic retreat. Immediate discrepancy between the perceived and real value of the weekend away. It means everything to her and very little to him. Cue conflict and punishing chats about 'where I thought we were going'.
Similarly, another friend thought of asking a girl of 5 weeks to take advantage of the '2 for 1' Jetstar fares to Japan. He loves Japan, she loves Japan, guaranteed fun. Simple, yes? That's a ball-busting no. The overseas holiday, the.. anywhere...! holiday - don't ask unless you're potentially girlfriend ready or a cashed-up sugar daddy and she's happy to be your gold-digging baby. Otherwise, the only thing you're guaranteeing is a complicated, confused and potentially crying mess.
