Easy Tips To Impress Any Woman And Get Her To Fall For You

By JEMEDARI Mwanawakiume

---

Let’s face it, making an impression on a lady for her to fall for you is not as easy as it seems. It takes a lot of confidence and know-how to execute it successfully.

For some people, it’s a herculean task while for others, it’s a very normal everyday act.
Whichever category you fall in, there are things you can do to impress a woman and have her fall in love with you. It’s just about knowing what to do, when to do it and how to do it.
Below are some tips on impressing that any woman.

---

1. Look And Feel Great

There is nothing more attractive to a woman than a man who looks and feels great. Your confidence goes through the roof once you look and feel great and trust me, the woman you’re interested in will see.

Take time to groom yourself. Eat healthy, exercise, use nice colognes, make sure your clothes are on point and get your hair neatly done. These are all little things that go through the eyes of a woman and runs straight to her heart.

2. Use Every Opportunity To Showcase Your Abilities

We are all different people and we like and love different things. You might not know what your woman of interest likes, therefore, it’s important that you cease every opportunity to showcase your abilities when you’re with her. If you’re a good singer, invite her out to a karaoke bar and sing for her or sing some songs for her whiles she’s with you. If you are into sports, invite her to watch you play sometime. This is the way to make sure she knows your talent and if she finds it attractive.

3. Be Confident

I believe you’ve heard this several times. The reason your friend or that guy gets to chat and hang with all those high-class ladies is because he’s confident. There’s nothing more that puts women off than a timid man. You can’t win the heart of any lady by showing fear. Before approaching her, know exactly what you want to talk about, walk upright with your shoulders straight and offer a firm handshake. Let every word from your mouth exude confidence. Don’t stutter and don’t mince words.

4. Compliment Her

This is a bit tricky because too much of it will get you an opposite result from what you set out to obtain. When you meet her, compliment her on her looks and be sincere about it. If it’s her hair that you like, let her know. If it’s her shoe or her bracelet, focus on that and tell her so. Being general about your compliment will not do you any good so be specific so she sees that you’re totally focused on her and can notice little details about her look.

If this is a woman you see quite often, then be meticulous about it. Don’t see her each time and compliment her, she’ll feel you’re not being sincere and she’ll begin to shun your company.

5. Surprise Her

Women love surprises and they feel attracted to a man who surprises them. You don’t need an expensive gift to surprise her and make an impression. Send her lunch at work, buy her cake, chocolate, perfume, bracelet etc. Nothing out of the ordinary, just everyday stuff and see how she’ll appreciate it. Imagine sending her lunch one afternoon and catching her at a time when she’s really hungry but hasn’t been able to go out to eat. She’ll love and appreciate it.

6. Have A Sense Of Humor

Anybody who doesn’t laugh isn’t human. We all love to laugh and we love those who make us laugh. Women are happy-go people, they always want to laugh and have fun therefore if you can give her that happiness and joy each time she finds herself with you, then you’re guaranteed a spot in her heart. This alone wouldn’t make her fall in love with you though but this added to your other qualities, will draw her to you like a magnet. Make her have a good laugh.

7. Be Honest

Don’t tell her you live in Trassaco or Regimanuel. Don’t borrow clothes or cars to impress her. Sit down and ask yourself, what happens when we start dating and she finds out I don’t own any of those? No matter what you do, make sure you’re open and honest with her. Women love honest people.

Strange Football Rules You Probably Never Knew About

SPORTS

---

Football is a game most Kenyans love and we can confidently say that whenever there is a match almost all the 40 million Kenyans are coaches but do we even know the rules?

---

  Here are 8 of them.

1. Referees Can Be Substituted

For most of our lives that we’ve watched football, it is not common to see a referee being subbed but in the Fifa soccer rules, this is accepted. If a referee is unable to continue with the match, he can be subbed with an assistant referee to take over the match.

2. The Coach Can Play For The Team If He Wants To

Many might not know this but a coach is part of the team and can sub a player and step on the pitch to play. A typical example is with Gianluca Vialli who used to play for Juventus and later coached Chelsea, he was still capable of playing and so usually subbed himself when the need arises for him to step in. So don’t be surprised when one day a coach decides to play for his team.

3. Linesmen Can Issue Cards

The assistant coach is supposed to inform the referee of offenses which happened on his blind side and decide whether to give a card. If the referee gives the mandate to the linesman, he can issue a card based on what he saw, but the responsibility lies on the referee to give the assistant referee the go ahead according to the Fifa Rule 6.

4. A player cannot be offside from a goal kick, corner or throw-in

During goal kick, corner or throw-in, even if the player is in an off-side position, it is not counted. This has caused many teams goals when they assume it is an off-side and it takes them by surprise.

5. A substitute cannot take a corner or a throw-in to restart the match

When a ball goes out for a throw-in and the team decides to sub a player, the new player who just stepped in cannot take the throw to restart the match. You probably never knew this right?

6. It is illegal for a goalkeeper to roll his sleeves up

A goalkeeper is allowed to wear long sleeves due to their role but one thing they cannot do is to roll the sleeves up to form a short sleeve, they can be given a card for that.

7. A goalkeeper can’t pick the ball up again after he has let it out of his possession until another player has touched it

After catching a ball, a goalkeeper can’t pick the ball up again if he decides to drop it until another player has touched it. If he disobeys, he will receive a card, it is either for him to kick it or allow another player to pass it back to him before he can pick it up again.

8. A linesman can officiate a match

It is absolutely legal for an assistant coach to take over the match and officiate if the referee can’t continue with the match, so basically a linesman is also a referee who can do everything the main referee does.

9. If the referee doesnt notice a foreign object, play continues regardless of whether it intervenes.

If a foreign object enters the field the referee can stop the game to remove it, but if the referee hasn't noticed the foreign object until it actually affects play then it's too late and the interference has to stand. Such as back in 2009 when Sunderland beat Liverpool courtesy of well executed finish from a beach ball. Another example was when Sheffield United had some help from a balloon when they knocked Manchester City out of the FA Cup in 2008. While Paul Peschisolido scored for Derby against Nottingham Forest in 2004 after Barry Roche misjudged a back-pass that took a deflection off an unhelpful coffee cup.

10. If a player does a trick to avoid a back-pass its an automatic booking.

If a player does a trick to avoid a back-pass such as flicking the ball up with his foot and heading it back to the keeper, it is a yellow card offense. Even if the keeper doesn't pick it up it's still a booking as the player has already committed the offence.

11. English game differs.

And finally, it's worth noting that there is a slight difference in the interpretation of the law by the English FA and the rest of the worlds footballing community concerning challenging a goalkeeper. In the Bundesliga, Serie A, League 1 etc. it is an offence to impede the goalkeeper once he has jumped in the air. whereas this rule isn't implement in the English game. A good example of this was when Sol Campbell scored a 90th minute 'goal' against Portugal at Euro 2004. There was outrage in England about the goal that would of surely stood in the Premier League but no where else was this even a talking point as Campbell had clearly impeded the Goalkeepers jump.

1. Get a gel liner from an eye pencil.

Put the tip of the pencil near a flame for about 30 seconds and let it cool for 15 minutes or so. It will now give you a thick and intense line, the way any gel liner would.

2. Setting your lipstick.

After applying lipstick, put a tissue paper over your lips and apply powder over it. This will set the colour and give you a long lasting effect.

3. Drying your nails.

Fill a bowl with cold water. Apply your nail colour and dip your fingers in the bowl. It speeds up the drying process.

4. Keeping bobby pins where they belong.

Very often, bobby pins slide out of your hair. To stop them from doing so, simply lay a tissue paper on a table, put the pins on it and spray them with any stiff hold hairspray. This will make them stay on your hair longer and stop them from sliding out every other minute.

5. Greasy hair day rescue.

Dry shampoo is the best way to fix greasy hair when you can’t wash your hair. But if for some reason, you can’t find one, then use baby powder as it does exactly the same thing. Put some powder on your hairline and rub it in, it will take the greasiness away and make your hair look good.

6. Make up wipes everywhere.

It’s impossible to get your hands on make up wipes everywhere. Simply replace them with baby wipes. They work the same and baby wipes are usually kinder to your skin.

7. Heatless waves.

Braid your hair on both sides really tight and go to bed. When you wake up, untangle them, spray and scrunch it and you’ll be left with perfect beach waves without using a curling iron.

8. Mascara to perfection.

Use a business card behind your lashes while applying mascara. It not only straightens out your lashes, but also stops the mascara from smudging on your eyelids.

9. French manicure yourself.

Take the curved end of a band-aid and line it a little away from the tip of your nails. Now apply your nail colour and wait till it’s dry before you peel the band-aid off. Perfect French manicure at home.
