Dear Princess:

I met a fabulous guy at a party last week. Do you have some hot ideas on how to catch him? Please hurry!!!

Ready to set bait!

Dear Trapper,

Get ready to bait your hook and cast your line, because you're about to do some fine fishing!

When you met this "fabulous guy" at the party, did you check who he connected with and found out who knew him? Did you check out who he was with to get a sense of what attracts him to others.

Once you establish his network of friends and where he likes to hang out, you can arrange to be introduced and be at the same social gatherings. From then on it's up to you.

Don't expect instant chemistry. Unless you wish something fast and short, move slowly, and manuever it into a slow acquaintanceship. No matter who it is, to save time and face, make sure that there's mutual interest.

Mystery, a little glamour, and a dab of intelligent wit usually does the trick. Remember, don't be discouraged if it doesn't work the first time. It's a big ocean out there and a lot of fish waiting for the big bite!

Have fun trolling, but don't forget to dangle the bait. Never give it away!

Princess Darby
