Intelligence is the ability to reason. Wisdom is the application of experience. Smart is wisdom without experience.

Associations with other people builds wisdom through experience. Choosing the correct associations to increase your wisdom is smart. Knowing this is intelligence.

I am wise when it comes to me.
You are wise when it comes to you, hopefully.

If the food doesn't rot don't eat it ! nothing but preservatives !

If the food is good atmosphere is pleasant and the one your with has a great sense of humor it would not matter where you take them.... if that alone is not impressive enough that they made some sort of effort just for the one they are with... then you will never be able to get their attention..nor would it be worth capturing~~~ jmo~~

Depends on the girl.


Depends on the girl.
Depends on my budget.
Depends on my mood.
Depends on how much time I have to prepare.


Um...when I'm ready for it?


"To get her attention" pretty much means that she's not really attracted to me. There isn't a normal attraction response leading to normal reciprocating attention.
That ultimately I have to provide her with something in order to overcome a lack of physical and/or personality attraction (depending on our interaction up to that point).

At best it means she's so focused on her work, life, or whatever she's doing, that she completely blocks me out. Which means dating her is most likely going to be a pain in the *** as I constantly vie with her job, life, or whatever she's focusing on to such a degree that she completely ignores or can't recognize any outside attractions, for any attention whatsoever.
It would then be nothing but hoops.
The thing about attention you aren't getting is not just getting it in the first place, but then keeping it.

Otherwise, what you are asking is "What if communication inherently sucks between the two of you. You can't understand any communication from her regarding her attraction level to you, and your ability to communicate is incompatible with her. What simplistic and universally understood grand (thereby more readily understood as it approaches an extreme) gesture(s) of expression are you going to perform as a means to make your communication clear, that also have the benefit (or may be a prime motivation) of forcing a response communication into expressing something that you can understand and is hopefully desirable/positive?"

So, based on all that:

I wouldn't date her.
At most I'd try to have sex with her.

The only scenario I can see where a woman pays no real attention to me, or doesn't see me as attractive, yet I feel an absolute motivation to "impress" her or "have to get her attention" would be if we didn't know each other at all and she was extremely physically attractive.

If I'm pursuing physical attraction alone, then I'm using illusory social status symbols. Money, power, relevance, novelty, ego stroking.

so ok ... i was hoping for very creative answers and not more of the realistic normal ones i guess. to impress a girl for me is a visible proof of sincerity and serious intentions. men would not go out of their way to show how they feel if they know a girl is not worth it thus the mere fact that they would even show or have an attempt to impress tells the girl they are special and that the man can be the one person they have always wished for . call me a hopeless romantic but for me a drive out to the mountains watching the sunset or sunrise while the guy wraps a blanket around me making sure i wont be cold , would already be VERY impressive . he doesn’t even need to bring any food or wine. it is more of what he does, where he does it and how. for me it was never about the money to impress.
thank you all for your thoughts there werent any wrong or right answers..,we all have opinions and thats what make all of us unique and interesting

In the summer to the yearly fair, My hook a duck skills would astound her,
the rest would be history.

I would pick up my date in a horse drawn carriage in the evening and take a ride to the beach where we would lay on a blanket and gaze at the stars with no one around, no city lights, no civilization, just me and her, the stars and our thoughts.

SS, Exactly! I couldn't have said it better. That's what I was trying to express earlier. It's those little things that matter most to me.

now if i need to impress a guy...yes thats a totally different thing coz as a female i am very old fashioned ... i would go with Toms opinion and just not make the effort if i see that the guy has no interest then nope but if i am with someone who has the same feelings for me and if i only had that one chance to be together with him i would do my best to make it the most special day of his life. and i wouldnt make him pay ( not talking anything about sex pls before you guys react)

yes, but of course you don't have to agree.

someone just recently told me great minds think alike we might have been sisters in our past life

Most definitely, I believe we may have been

If she isn't impressed by the man I am, then she isn't for me. To me, it's that simple. If a woman isn't impressed by the man, who he is and what he is, she isn't going to be impressed by anything he does. None of it is going to matter. Where he takes her, timing, anything.

Then I'll pop out of a cake?

I would stretch out a blanket under the stars where we would eat cheeses and drink wines and then I would serenade her with songs sung poorly and forgotten words and made up lyrics..

she would then stare into my Dracula gaze and fall under my spell where she would give up her neck for which I would drink passionately and then we would turn into little squeaky bats and find the nearest cave where we would hang out together ..and add to the pile of guano on the cave floor...

now if that isn't romantic ..please ladies don't crowd the mail box..there's plenty to go around...

I don't really try to impress my date by taking her someplace over the top...
I find a nice quiet restaurant works best someplace you can get to know each other a little.. generally 7 in the evening is best
.

Get nice wine if she drinks, find some terrace or open safe field, set up a nice table with rose and candle and have dinner there. add nice music Sinatra.
Then be honest, anyway she will find out stuff later on.. so start with what you are looking for.. do not start lecture though.

I guess this is it. Rest if she is not impressed, it is not meant to be.. lol

she will be suprised no doubt about that
