How to Fall In Love...Multiple Times

Falling in love is an art.  Falling in love over and over is a skill.  A skill in which I am quite accomplished. If you are already in love, with one person, and you have been for a significant amount of time, that's fine. Just stop reading - I have no idea how to relate to you.

To start, you must first begin by scoping out the scene. Find the cutest person in the room, and let the adventure begin!

1. Make sure that person is single. You may still fall in love with someone who is taken, you'll just have to be more discreet about it.
2. Make yourself known. Find a way to make them introduce themselves to you. Stand really close to them, talk to one of their friends, "accidentally" bump into them...these are all acceptable.
3. Once you have met, strike up a conversation. Any topic works for the first minute or so.
4. After the first minute, say something interesting - a little known fact perhaps. Based on their reaction, you will know if they are worth your time.
5. Do not exchange phone numbers. Too obvious and serious. You're not looking to get married.
6. To replace the phone, send them a Facebook message - something along the lines of "so nice to meet you!" This will force them to friend you.  If they do not friend you, don't bother. They're boring. And clueless.
7. Once they friend you, you can stalk them as much as you want. Do not write on their wall, do not leave comments, do not "like" anything. Again, too obvious. You don't want them to know you're stalking. It will only make you look creepy.  And you're not creepy; you're just curious.
8. If a few Facebook messages have been exchanged, feel free to give them your email. Let them know that you don't check your Facebook messages that often and email is best for you. From there you may exchange phone numbers. You must diversify modes of communication to keep things exciting!
9. Important: exchanging numbers is not for the sake of phone calls, but for texting. This is a big step. Once your first text is exchanged, the love will blossom.
10. After a few days of texting, the awkward phone calls may begin.  You will then know that it is time to move on and find the next love of your life.
