6 Steps To Getting That Spring Date!

Despite what the weather has to say, we are now within spring, and everybody knows it’s the time of year for three things... clean the dust bunnies from under the bed, a whole new wardrobe, and the time of year where love seems to blossom like the wondrous daffodils in your local park. (Oh, I forgot to mention the time of year for pollen, but nobody wants to think of a snotty nose.)

The spring time love is usually romantic. You usually picture fields of flowers, with you and your partner running through them, in slow motion, kinda like the opening scene from Shrek 2. But before you can get to picture these things, you have to find the right partner first, and not every man is blessed with the girl who stuck around after Valentine’s Day (you guys know who you are). Well, The Scene Magazine has decided to give its extensive knowledge and advice to getting that spring date.

1. Stay So Fresh, So Clean:

Yes, believe it or not, some guys forget the season is changing, and things are warming up. You cannot get away with leaving your house without spraying your armpits. Others will smell you and you will stink. Do you remember last summer being on the train going towards Oxford Street, and that one guy who stands next decides to hold the rail above you?… Do you remember that smell?… Well then…

2. Save It To Spend It:

This is an ‘all-year-round’ rule, but when it's starting to ease up towards spring and early summer time, you are going to need some comfortable pennies in your pocket. The ‘staying-in-the-yard’ trick is good for winter, but as the sun creeps out, take her out… and save so ‘out’ is more than a trip to Burger King.

3. If Your Single, Then Mingle:

Yes, it’s the time of year to be out with the old and in with the new… but if you are still with your special someone, we advise you not to go around looking for other girls. The Scene Magazine doesn’t generally promote players, but to each their own. We can only advise you, because we know how small the world is… last thing we want is you linking your girlfriend’s cousin, and then blaming us for the damage.

4. The Approach:

You see a girl, she looks good, she see’s you, she looks interested, you’re walking up to her, she’s walking towards you, you’re now face to face, what do you say?... “WAHAPEN BABYLOVE” …no! “OI PENG TING”… no again! “PSST, HEY, CAN MAN HAVE YOUR DIGITS LIKE”… are you crazy, speak English!. We cannot stress enough that the term ‘waste man’ was created for a reason. Now you may not be one, but if you talk like one, what does it matter. First impressions are always the strongest, so at least try to come with something that came out of the English dictionary

5. No Means No… No Really, It Does… No I'm Being Serious Now…

Rejection is a hard thing to take at times, I don’t care who you are, it has had the best of us upset to the point we almost don’t eat the last piece of chicken on the plate (…almost) at one point in our lives… but what’s worse than a rejection, is when the rejected is in denial. Ladies who are reading this point probably have said to a few guys in their time “I’m sorry but I got a man” with the response from the rejected being “yeah, but I just wanna be your friend init, so please can I still have your number, please”… (See guys, when you read it, it looks foolish, alie). Don’t do it, no means no, and the hungrier you become, the more desperate you seem. On a real.

6. Know Where Your Going:

It’s nice to know where you’re going in life… mum always said “if you fail to plan, you plan to fail” and that saying is true to a large extent. So, for those who are interested in what’s going on, and where you can take out your dates after a meal, keep yourself locked into The Scene Magazine for the latest in club nights, shows and PA’s from some of the UK’s talented artists.

We at The Scene hope that these pointers were reasonably helpful to you, the reader. We cannot guarantee success in all cases (example being if you have any resemblance to Mr. Frazier from The Real McCoy) but we can welcome you to a great spring. Stay locked into The Scene Magazine!!!
