Today Im going to show you how to get a date with a little help from our best friend, the Ovi Store. Probably you have noticed that spending the whole day playing around with your phone isnt getting you any dates, no? Well I tell you, women are usually seeking more attention from you. So let’s kick the geek out for some time and bring out the stud we all have really deep inside.

So let’s start. First, take a look at the mirror and see what can be improved. Most of girls like a clean face, so that’s a start. You may turn on the front facing camera on your nokia and see how you are looking. Do your hair, brush your teeth, dress properly and you are done.

Then its time to get the date. Pop out the Facebook app and  check women that you would like to invite for dinner. It might be hard to only choose one, who should it be? Sofia, Ramona, Jessica, or Alejandra? Let your gadget choose for you, take out your phone and ask the Magic 8 ball who should you ask out. Remember, the  ball is the law, if it says no it’s no, and when it say yes do not doubt it!

Should I date Sofia?

Should I date Ramona?

Should I date Jessica?

Should I date Alejandra?

Great, after a extremely methodical and scientific process we now have a lucky girl! And if you doubt it, just check what your heart has to say:

Yep it’s love!

So let’s think what do girls like to do when they are out on a date? Of course you are correct, they love romantic dinners and for that you cannot order a pizza, so instead you should make or order sushi. Sushi is good and the fish puts people in the ‘mood’. So now again the Ovi Store may help you on this one with the Sushi touch app. If you don’t know anything about sushi this is a good start.

Now, Alejandra has accepted the date and you are setting up the environment, you should set the mood with some music and why not let the phone make you a setlist with the most cheesy and romantic music you have on it. Start your Playlist Dj and pull the romantic bar all the way up and all the other bars their way down. This way you will make sure you will only get extra slow romantic music from your collection. Alejandra will love it.

Never understimate the power of the lights, a good lighting will make wonders for your date and Alejandra will feel more confortable at a dinner under the light of the candles. But do not mistake my friend, we do not use the prehistoric wax made candles anymore. The trend is to use your phone do as everything and this includes (but not limited to) a candle. Install the candle touch app and you are ready to go. The environment is set and your girl is taking a romantic dinner that will surely never forget.

Conversation will flow easily with all these tips, just remember that most girls do not enjoy talking about symbian multitasking and the wonder that the N900 will be when you buy it the next week.

Congratulations, you are now a happy geek with a happy lady, that was not so difficult! Make your cellphone jealous and spend your days with your woman. Go on Fring and tell all your communities! Someone might love reading your fairy story!
