The tech sheet.

Something just reminded me that when I was in middle school and high school I would often draw up a list on conversation pieces BEFORE I would call a girl on the phone.

For any girl that reads this before you get disgusted you must realize the alternative. Recall that adolescent boys are idiots. They aren't good at communicating to their buddies let alone a girl they are nervous to talk to. Would you expect the president to take on some highly sensitive diplomatic conversation without any notes?

There are LAYERS of perceived meanings when you walk into these things. As a boy you are just outmatched. You need to be prepared.
