Problem: Article: Strong-minded girls are used to being in control, and they can appreciate when a guy takes charge. Go right up and talk to her, let her know that you're interested. She might be guarded at first, but she'll mostly likely be impressed by your directness. Don't be too forceful or demanding. This could give her the wrong idea about your intentions. You don't have to be a "bad boy" to display confidence in yourself. Stay relaxed and comfortable in any situation. Be assertive; use a firm, clear voice, and speak your mind. She's probably used to being the most confident person in the room. Stand out and show her that you're just as sure of yourself.  Assertiveness is the key, not aggression. Come on too strong and you risk looking like a jerk. Let your personality speak for itself. There's no need to brag, but don't downplay yourself or be unnecessarily modest. Take pride in yourself and own it. Loosen up. It's more impressive to people if you can handle mistakes and awkward moments gracefully. If she values her individuality, she'll also be able to recognize yours. Don't mindlessly follow trends or conform to what others are doing hoping it will get you noticed. Instead, be up front about your interests and beliefs and make it clear that you're someone worth knowing. Find things that the two of you have in common, no matter how small. You don't have to dress the same or have the same favorite band, but the more she can relate to you, the more comfortable she'll be around you. Finding things you have in common can be as broad and impassioned as political beliefs or as casual as your favorite breakfast cereal. Take this opportunity to get to know more about her, and as you do, you'll find that you have more things you connect with. While it's great to be direct, assertive and up front, leave a little for her to wonder about. She'll want to know more about you if you keep her guessing, and you'll come off as a more complex person. This could be the lead-in you need for your next conversation or date.  Hold a little back in conversation. Don't be too eager or talk about yourself too much. Let her imagination do some work in figuring you out. Don't complain. Quiet dignity is an undeniable trait in anyone. There's no need to lay it on too thick. She'll know if you're boasting or trying to seem more appealing to her, and talking yourself up too much can be annoying.  Confidence and assertiveness are qualities that anyone can develop, not stand-ins for your innate personality. If you get too wrapped up in trying to impress her, you'll lose sight of yourself. Trust her enough to let her make up her own mind about what she wants.
Summary: Make the first move. Exude confidence. Be your own person. Relate to her. Be a little bit mysterious. Don't try too hard.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: As you play the game, convince the other players that you are goofy and ridiculous. Say silly comments and tease other players, for instance. Act a bit clumsy as well. Then, when you are ready to make your move, lift up both of your arms so you can bump into another player.  You can sway from side to side or almost spill your drink. This makes it more convincing when you bump into the other player. As you wave your arms around, bump into another player to make them drop their cards. As you do this, drop your cards nearby. This way, your cards get mixed up and you can switch some of their cards for your own. Make this look as natural as possible so you don’t get caught. If you look like you are intentionally knocking their cards out, it will not look authentic. When you knock over their cards, say something like, “Oh gosh, I’m so sorry. Let me get those for you,” and quickly duck under the table. Pick up the cards into 2 loose piles, 1 for you and 1 for the other player. As you do this, select the cards that you want and put them in your pile. Rearrange the cards as quickly as you can.  You can also reach for the cards as soon as it happens, though the other player may try to help pick them up. Make sure the other player cannot see you rearranging the cards. When rearranging the cards, include 1 of your “good” cards, such as a Reverse or Skip card. This way, the other player is not suspicious since you are giving them a “gift.” The other player may interpret the card shuffle as a positive thing in their favor, when in reality you may give them 2-3 extra cards without them noticing. When you switch the cards, pay attention to the main colors of the other player’s hand. For instance, if the player has a lot of blue cards, give them lots of blue cards. This way, they are less likely to notice you may have snuck a card from them.
Summary:
Wave your arms around the table so you look silly or intoxicated. Knock another player’s cards out of their hand along with your own. Rearrange the cards on the floor out of view of the other players. Hand the cards back to the other player, including a powerful card. Swap similar colored cards so the other player is less suspicious.
