THE VIBES:
( Girls don’t take is seriously, its all humour.
Guys ! note down the tips in your palmy/lapy, they might come in handy some day
)
It’s really weird. You’d think that in a country like Pakistan dating,
or any kind of contact with the opposite sex would be
impossible…Well, it is! But that doesn’t stop anyone from having
their own little Indian movie. I guess you can definitly blame the
Indian movies for doing this to our fine young generation.
How you get a girl is very complicated and by no means easy. The first
step is to find one. Easier said than done. It’s not like everybody has
high standards or anything…There just aren’t any. Some people would
do anything! As long as it moves. There are lots of ways you can find a
girl. You can go to the market and “be cool”. Once a girl looks at you,
you can be pretty sure she “wants you”. That’s all you need. Just one
little look and she’s “your’s”. Once she lets you know that she “wants
you”, you must be at the same spot at the same time everyday so she can
see you again. Then you start riding by her house, blaring your loud
horn. It’s even better if you have a car with a loud horn. Having a
friend with you is optional. This stage usually takes about 3 months.
After that, depending on the girl, she’ll begin to come out on the
terrace/window/gate and give you a nasty look. Don’t be disappointed,
that’s a good sign. There’s no way you can expect any girl to give you
smiles that easily. So she’ll give you nasty looks and turn away as soon
as she sees you coming. A month or two like that and then you must “make
the first move”. Now things usually work out really good for these
“Phunds” (Literal translation: Male Bee) All those months riding by her
house and you can be sure that you attract attention from more than just
that girl. Chances are there are other Phunds in that nieghbourhood who
have worked on her and fallen short. Birds of a feather flock together-
or peck each other’s eyes out. But in order to make this simple I’ll
assume that there is no blood shed. That’s a big assumption because you
have to be very very lucky if you find a girl without having to kill
somebody. Anyway, this other Phund gets to know you and you become
friends in that period. (very unlikely, but I want to make this
explanation less complicated than it already is)
Usually a first move is throwing a “Perchee” (Piece of paper with your
phone number on it) to her.
IMPORTANT: Never ever look back and and see if she picks it up or not.
If you do that she’ll probably tear it up in front of your eyes or stomp
it in the ground.
Or you can get her number by your new found Phund friend or get it from
the line man (50 Rs. should do it!) You can try calling her but she’ll
never talk to you-What do you think she is? A whore? If you’ve been
doing everything right so far, she’ll call you. She won’t tell you who
she is, she’ll probably say she just dialled a wrong number and since
she is bored she’s gonna do you a favour and talk to you for a second.
Good! You are almost there! Now everything depends on you. How long you
get her to say that she is the girl that you have been working on for 6
months now. Once you get that out of the way, you can be sure that
she’ll call you at every opportunity she gets. Now you’ll have endless
converstions on the phone with her, through out the day and the night.
Day in, day out. Convincing her to see you is very hard. If you are
really good she’ll probably let you pick her up from her school/college
and drop her off. If you can keep your
hands/tongue/other-offensive-but-extremelly-fun-bodyparts off her,
she’ll see you again. But this is where I stop my explanations. Good
luck!
Like I said, I assummed a lot stuff here. There are other extremelly
intricate and sensitive issues you have to watch out for. Like how you
handle the Phund- If you don’t handle it correctly you could get hurt.
If you don’t handle the line man correctly he’ll never give you the
number (Hint: Pretend you don’t want it and you don’t really care! Don’t be aloof either!)
All things said and done, don’t underestimate the girl. She’s probably
300 times more harmonal than you ever will be!
THE OTHER ALTERNATIVE:
If you think that you can’t do all that for a girl then you can just
wait till some girl who’s bored out of her skull calls you. They have
been known to do that. This is how it works out:
Somebody spends 6 months on a girl but it doesn’t turn out to be the
most successful thing ever. During that 6 months that guy probably gave
that girl his number fifteen hundered times. If the girl isn’t
interested you can be sure that she won’t call. You can also bet your
right ball that she’ll give that number to her friend and that friend
will ,someday, get bored and call you. If you can be interesting enough
(Don’t mention any hands/tongue/other-offensive-but-extremelly-fun-bodyparts to her) she
might even call you again. This thing pretty much follows the same
format except she is calling you. But that doesn’t mean you can be
aloof…You have to pretend that it’s no skin off your nose if she
doesn’t call you again, but at the same time you have to make it
absolutly clear that you’ll die if she doesn’t call you. It is
confusing, I know, but that’s how it works. Thalay to lagnaa paRta hai
naa (Literal Translation: You have to attach yourself underneath
her…This is just a literal translation). GaRee upper uthanay kay
liyay juknaa to paRta hai. (Literal Translation: You have to bend over
to get the jack under the car).
Good way to meet people (Prospective bachee/bachaa) is through your
friends who have already been through the Khoaree process and know other
people who are going through it.
Before I wrap this up, let me tell you about where you might wanna go if
you take her out. Forget all the places on my food page. Not unless you
want 700 people staring at you (makes food drop out of your mouth) There
are some discreet (but nice) eating places in Defense, screw the food,
you want privacy. Olives in Defense used to be good for that but there
are way too many people there now. It’s still good if you go there in
the afternoon. Don’t go there after 7 p.m if you don’t want to run into
your favorate Khala and her 200 little kids.
There are some good places in Gulberg (Omega Center, I think) some
psuedo Italian restaurants. Don’t go there after 7 p.m. either, not
unless you want to run into your favorate Phuppo with her 200 little
kids. It’s pretty safe to go anywhere in the afternoon (Except Copper
Kettle where Khoaar people go to hunt down “dates”) At night, it’s
better just to drive around in the car.
This is getting way to long and I don’t think there’s anyway I could
tell you everything about this extremelly complicated “Bachaa/Bachee”
deal in Lahore. Good luck, have fun
