cos, my friend, we are in singapore, a chinese, conservative
society. gals here are not receptive to this sort of advancement
coming from guys they dun really know....
if you like a gal you dun really know, best is to keep it to
yourself first, and be friends with her, slowly get to know each
other. if you still like her after that, then by all means, pop the
question. the chances of success are much higher.
