Dating
The young fellow was a shy sort and desperately insecure in the presence of girls.Hoping to improve his social standing he sought advice from his father.
“My boy,”said he,“All you need to do in order to open a conversation is to start with one remark.Let me give you three topics guaranteed to do the job:family,food,and philosophy.Simply remark on one of these topics and the girl is sure to start talking.It never fails.”
约会
这个年轻人是很腼腆的那种,在女孩子面前总是不知所措。为了提高自己的社交能力,他就去向父亲求教。
