The Battle Plan: Part 1 - Mustering, Training and Equipping Your Army

Be prepared. The Boy Scout motto. I was never a Boy Scout, literally or figuratively, but it is sound advice. Robert Evans says the same, only more eloquently: Luck is when opportunity meets preparation. So this section is about the things I do to make sure I am ready mind, body and soul to meet a girl.

Live your life. Don't worry about being single, don't worry about finding someone, just live your life. Do the things you love to do. Do them often and with great gusto. If you don't like to do anything more than watch movies and TV at home...then find a couple things outside your home that you like to do. You can't meet a girl if you stare at your TV or computer every night.

Shower, clean clothes, maintained hair, brush them teeth, clean appartment, clean car (note to self...CLEAN YOUR FUCKING CAR IT IS A MESS). Simple upkeep every day...because if you don't you'll meet the girl of your dreams while wearing a shirt stained with mustard and relish, reeking of weed and feet. (true story)

Exercise. I hate the gym and don't have room for a home gym. So my hobbies are all athletic stuff. Riding my bike, surfing, hockey and training at home for these activities (pushups, situps, practicing poping up) have me in real good shape.

Get clothes that fit. Find a look that works for you and rock it. You'll probably need an iron. I still need an ironing board. We're all in progress till we're dead. Look good. People will notice. Recently after getting some new shirts one of my coworkers asked me if I had been taking my handsome pills.

Know yourself. Know what you are looking for in another human being. Know that most male female interaction doesn't include I do, kids, house, two cars, three cats, a dog, two turtles, a school of goldfish, and a stuffed parakeet named Bernie who was killed by one of the cats and left on the kid's doorstep...luckily you found him before your child did and were able to spare them the horror of its evicerated corpse. Most women are gonna shoot you down, or not call you back, or break it off after a couple lousy dates. That is life and I have more of those stories than I have actual love stories. So what's another rejection.

If you are doing all these things for yourself, then the right girl tends to come along. At least that is the way it has worked for me in the past.
