Book blurb
Kill Me Now! is about Lawrence, a man in his late 40s
dodging bullets deep in the dating battlefield while searching for the ONE. In
Kill Me Now! Lawrence tries to decode the signals of his enigmatic opponent,
often resulting in his hasty retreat. Why is she resting her head on her hand?
Is she bored? Or is she interested?
He finds himself in many humorous
situations where he has no idea what he is doing and no idea how to maneuver
through the skirmish. Trapped in the epicenter of the courting conflict, the
motivating thought that sustains him is his strong belief that somewhere out
there, she awaits.
Join Lawrence as he painfully stumbles through the mating
minefield in search for his SOULMATE while silently wishing that he was
elsewhere. Be warned, you will laugh!

February 2: A Steep Learning
Curve
o date again, woe is me! How many of us have sat at home
wondering why we don’t have a date? How many of us have gone to a bar to look
for a girl, found someone interesting and just froze? What should we say to
her? What is a good pick up line? Questions, questions, questions! Help!
Those of us who know how to use the internet
instinctively say, “Google it!” In the search tab, you type in, “how to pick up
girls” and hope for the best. You then receive a plethora of websites offering
you information from the best of the best. THE experts! Or so you assume. One
site says there are plenty of people who are good at picking up girls, but
cannot explain their art. If they cannot explain, then what good are they to
us? Do they describe which girls are they trying to pick up? What kind of girls
were these, real or imaginary?
One night, I decided to try a line from one of those
websites. Me, myself and I, the holy trio, decided to go to a bar. A stunning
brunette caught my attention as she eyed the crowd. Somehow she managed to
avoid eye contact with me. I walked up to the lady, took out my iPhone, and
hoped it impressed her.
I read off my iPhone, “Baby, I’m no Fred Flintstone but I
can make your Bedrock.” OK, I agree with you. That is a lame line.
She leaned toward me seductively and said, “Go Google
again!” Was she being rude to me or not? I still have no idea. I think she had
learned the true art of diplomacy, which is the ability to tell someone to go
to hell so that he actually looks forward to the trip.
It is very important to make a good first impression. The
first impression is vital. It is difficult to correct a bad first impression.
Oh, the pressure, the pressure. There is only one chance to do it right!
Going up to a girl at a bar saying, “What is a girl like you
doing in a place like this?” will probably earn you a smirk. Not only is the
line antiquated, but it seems to work only in the movies, and sometimes not
even there. The only time I tried that line, the girl said it was her bar and
that I should not refer to it as “such a place”.
Oh, what should I do? What should I do?
The internet provides contradicting information. What's
new? When we search for something in our field of expertise, we understand
whether it sounds right or not. But if our understanding is close to zero, how
can we define what is right and what is not?
Somehow I need to hone my non-existent skills. Somehow I
need more practice. Somehow I need experienced friends.
Looking at my friends and hearing their stories, I
wonder, does experience really help?
Oh, crap! Kill me now!
