Brownie Points

Thoughtfulness outweighs Fanciness

the way to earn the real brownie points

1. Whenever something casually comes up about her, take note. Literally open up your notepad on your phone and quickly type it down. She'll think you're texting and if you don't do it let's face it, you'll forget.  This helps with the casual and the special things.  Example?

         A.  Oh, her favorite bagel spot is Winston's Bagels on Beale and she orders the blueberry bagel with a vanilla latte, every time.  Take her there one morning on a surprise and be sure to order for her, the thought that you "remembered" would be treasured later.

        B.    She wears a size 6 shoe? Great, if you ever find those sneakers half price at TJ Maxx or her perfect birthday gift, you already know and won't have to make the obvious hints to get the information later.

       C.  Favorite cereal? Favorite candy bar? Favorite breakfast?  She had a rough day in class? Be sure to deliver these to the study session and it'll be worth more than a $40.00 Filet Mignon dinner.

       D.  Least favorite chore (TRASH) Whenever you're around her place, take out the trash.

       E. Favorite movie (to rent on a cheap! date night), Favorite sports team (to watch together and wear the shirt)


2. Open a door. Car door, entry door. Not just for her, but for every girl. Prewarning:  every girl will soon want you.

3. Make a habit out a certain text:  whether it's "good morning :)" every morning or just a ":)" after a shared class or after you get off the phone. Just a little something, but be CONSISTENT.

4.  This is probably more time appropriate for the medical school schedule, but one decent date every 4-5 weeks.  (Check out a later blog for cute date tips that she'll repay you later for ;) )

     ^^^When you check out the Date Tips page, be sure to pick out the ones you wanna try and write them in your NOTES on your Iphone as well, so you don't have to come back and jog your memory last minute


5.  "I like a guy that plays video games" --- Said no amazing girl, ever.  "I like a guy that doesn't work out or take care of his body" --- Said no amazing girl, ever. 

      A. If you want a great girl, don't be the couch potato playing video games on your spare time.  Sure we all need to rest and relax, but playing War of Worldcraft ? is not an attractive quality. Oh yeah, just say no to drugs. We're in medical school-- work hard, play hard, but no to drugs.


     B. If you're active, try training for a 5k together. Or work out together.  That doesn't mean both of you should benchpress 300lb, but it's the dedication of working out together that's nice.


6.  A gentleman doctor who saves the world? Okay, you may not want every woman wanting you and you shouldn't do this to attract the ladies.  However, a man who gives back to charity in some form is not only highly desirable, but highly respectable.  Not sure how your boys would handle your success though?
