I invited a girl I liked to spend holidays at my place and to make a good impression taking her out almost every day. The only thing she paid for was a train ticket and I ended up spending half of my life savings in 1 month (equivalent of 6 months wage). I later found out she was happy to visit me anyway and would be even if we just ordered food instead of going out and stuff. Anyway, we had fun so I don't regret it.
Believe it or not, keeping it real impresses a woman more than trying to impress her
This won't be the dumbest thing you'll ever do for love, though! heheDon't you guys have female friends to give you tips and such?
If you want a proper relationship yeah, keep it real - if you want a quick fling or affair (in which case I wouldn't say it's "for love", but "for sex" - these are related but different) then sure, go the "impress the ladies" route.
For myself i've only ever had luck in the love life with girls who started as good friends.
Best tip of all:
Stop treating women as a mysterious entity that you need to hack, it'll make you more relaxed and you'll find it easier to talk.
