Greg, the best thing you can do is to relax and work towards increasing
your personal wealth.  Go to health clubs, do social events, become
active in various local things like a charity or anything that has you
mixing with the public plus always improve your financial standing.

As time goes on, many of the cute tricks that used to work in college to
meet dates just doesn't cut it when you get older.  Women like men who
are fun to be with, plus who have a plan and are financially stable or
better.  That is, if you think you can just do something outrageous
and expect the babes to go after you -- it just doesn't work after you
turn 28 to 30ish.  In college, *everyone's* future is full of great
promise; when you hit your mid 30's that future (or lack of it) is NOW.
Don't make the pursuit of money your reason to live -- but do pay
significant attention to actively showing you're a man of ability who
is more than capable of supporting himself.  (If you want some fun, go
see the recent move "Emma" and ask yourself "how does money play a role
in all of these people's lives?")  Personality is paramount, but it's
the lack of money that causes most people distress in our mundane lives.
Solve the money problem and you're way ahead of many others; then, if
you're sober, drug-free, and fun to be with -- you'll be fighting off
the women!  Go get-em, Greg!
