理論上來說，用正確的姿勢給姑娘發微信的難度比量子物理學還高几倍。基本上你需要7*24小時保持高度緊張的狀態，隨時觀察姑娘的反應，希望上帝會給你一些提示，讓你明白她究竟在想什麼。我們也常陷入同樣的痛苦境地中。我們也常常在探探或者Tinder上配對上一個好看的姑娘，然後接下來倆小時都在痛苦的尋找話題。所以趕緊看看這篇文章學習一下姿勢，這樣也許能讓姑娘覺得你特別有英國紳士範兒呢。
Understanding how to text a girl is like trying to understand Quantum Physics… Nearly impossible to do and involves a lot of looking around you, hoping to God that someone knows what’s going on. We feel your pain guys. We all know what it’s like to match with a pretty girl on Tantan or Tinder and then to spend the next two hours scratching your head and trying to come up with a plan to make your move. Check out our top 3 tips below and do your best to follow them.
開場白最重要 | Unique Opening line
現在大家都可以通過網絡認識很多人，所以開場白顯得更加重要。我們英國人喜歡耍點小聰明，所以這意味著「你好」「hey」這種普通的開場白是沒有用的。一般來說我們會用一些出人意料的句子來開場，然後十指交叉期望這種辦法是有效的。。。
A unique opening line is crucial nowadays. We Brits are known for our quick wit and love of eccentricity, which means that a short 「Hey,」 「Hi,」 「Hello,」 are not good enough and won’t make the cut. Instead, we』ll go for something that will make us stand out. In a good way. We hope…
我們覺得大多數時候你問姑娘一個古怪的問題肯定會比普通的寒暄更容易引起她們的注意。記住，數據統計有百分之七十的女性覺得男生的幽默感跟外表一樣重要。
You see, we are of the opinion that it’s far better to ask her a quirky question about herself or ask her something that will make her laugh. Remember; 97% single women think a sense of humour is just as attractive as looks.
優秀示範 | Good Examples:
「如果你有一個機會，可以明天就出發，去世界上任何一個地方度假，你會想去哪裡？噢對了，附加條件是你得跟我一起去旅行;)」
「If you won a free trip anywhere in the world and had to leave tomorrow, where would you go? Oh and you』d have to take me with you ;)」
或者是像這種問題
Or something funny like this
「嘿你今天怎麼樣啊？你不覺得那些在網上約會的人很奇怪嗎？」
「Hey how’s your day so far? Aren’t those people who use internet dating just so awful?"
但不是這種...
BUT please not this….
我多麼希望我是一片霧霾啊，這樣我就可以在你身體裡了。
" Hey you, I wish that I was the pollution so I could be in you right now." Ummm... No thanks.
善用社交資料 | Use her bio to your advantage
還有一條黃金規律，就是在她的資料/朋友圈裡面尋找你感興趣的內容，然後跟她聊這個話題。如果她提到她是素食主義者或者喜歡看京劇，那我們勸你還是趁早放棄吧；沒必要為了愛情放棄那麼多美好的東西！
The next sacred rule that we swear by, is seeing something you find interesting in her bio and then talking to her about it. If she mentions that she’s a vegan or loves Chinese Opera though, then don’t even make the effort; there is no need to suffer that much for the price of love.
舉例來說，如果她喜歡旅行，那就問她跟旅行有關的問題，然後跟她分享你的經歷，但是千萬不要自說自話。如果你說「你也喜歡旅行啊，很酷誒，我也喜歡。」這種話會讓女生根本無法接下去。你應該跟她聊聊上次旅行的時候你經歷的神奇故事，除非上次你是去泰國。。。然後去看了人妖（or紅燈區），科科，然後丟失了所有行李和財物，最後醒來發現自己睡在一個陌生人沙發上。這種故事你還是留著跟哥們兒說吧。。。
If she enjoys travelling for instance, then ask her about it and share your experiences too. Just make sure you do it in a fun way. Don’t just write, 「So, you like travelling? Cool. Me too.」 (Yawn) This conversation is as painful as it would be to jump naked into a bush of stinging nettles. Instead, tell her something funny that happened on your last trip. Unless of course, that last trip involved a 「gentleman’s」 club (ahem), losing all your bags and ending up sleeping on a stranger’s sofa. Now that is just too much information.
究竟要不要讚美姑娘 (對於英國人來說真的是難題)
To Compliment or Not to Compliment (Awkward for Brits)
大家都喜歡被稱讚，但是如果你像英國人那麼容易尷尬的話，你就會明白我們為什麼不會急著去讚美別人了。你可能上傳了幾百張跟貓貓狗狗的自拍，但我們也沒有義務一定要說哎呀好萌啊，你比貓貓/狗狗更萌呢。這時候你更需要保持高冷，直到你見到她真人為止。這樣的話她才會被你突然爆發的對她的迷戀影響到，然後開始對印象中「高冷」的你另眼相看呢。
Ok, so we know that everyone loves a compliment but if you’re awkward like British people are, then you』ll empathise how we don’t like to do it too soon. Sure, you might have uploaded like a thousand pictures of you with some puppy or cute kitten (why do so many girls do this?) but that doesn’t mean we have to compliment how cute you look next to it. Play it cool here guys and build up your connection before you finally say how pretty she is. At this point, she will be thrown back by your sudden outburst of praise that she might just end up liking you that little bit more.
