One night when I was on Whyville after waiting hours to get on, I asked a girl out for my article. I asked the usual how-old-are-you, where-do-you-live, and she said, "I'm 15 years old and I live in Toronto."

At once I could see this girl was trying to impress me and lie. But I said, I can see through you clearly. I looked at her looks and her words very hard and I knew she was fibbing. And you know what? She was -- she said so herself. That's how we try to be someone we're not.

Before the date, I had to ask her out to get this info for my article. We all know that people want to be special and not just asked out for their looks, right? In my opinion, this girl wasn't that pretty (sorry!), so I asked her out in a special way. Not like, "You're so hot, please go out with me." No way! I said:

Me: Hi, guess what.
Her: What, dude?
Me: I'm on a mission.
Her: What kinda mission.
Me: A special mission.
Her: Hurry up and tell me.

I said it clearly: "I'm on a mission to find the most pretty girl on Whyville and I think I found her -- you."

I think after that, she was thinking, "I'm a princess!"

That's how all people want to feel -- individually complimented and special. They want to know that you think of them in a different way, not just "you're hot". I know that's how a girl wants to feel -- but don't say exactly what I said! Make up your own, use your mind to think of this girl, and when you say you thought of it on your own, she'll feel 10,000 times better.

I have to go I can't write on how a guy wants to feel, but I know some nice girl can.
