My dating assignment for myself this week is:
THE BURNER METHOD.
No more pining over a gal, waiting days, worrying and losing confidence along the way. I'm going to begin applying the burner rotation system.
This system was in fact, created by a woman. She told me to have four burners.
* One would be on simmer, this is the girl I just contacted that I just met, and now I'm waiting for her next move.
* One would be on off, this is the longterm girl that is requiring time and patience.
* One would be on medium-hot, this is the girl that I can make out with and hang out with regularly but something is keeping us from dating.
* And the last burner - and this is the key — will remain empty, This is going to be filled temporarily by any girl I meet out. She'll either be moved to another burner eventually or cleared off.
So - what do you ladies think? I'll write back next week to tell you how I'm doing. We'll see if the stove gets really hot - or if I just end up burning my dinner...
