Eve of Destruction

>From your boss's daughter to the girl your mate's got his eye on, you're surrounded by sexy women with potentially ugly consequences. Use this guide to safely taste their sinful fruit.

Your Best Mate's Sister

Why you shouldn't

Blood is thicker than water. You're risking a relationship that has been built up over years for one that might not last.

Why you should

You have a lot in common, which is a strong basis for a relationship. If she's younger she has quite possibly had a crush on you, too. That's what's known in the trade as an ‘in’.

The next move

Prep your friend by mentioning a recent pay rise. Family members have a massive influence on women's choices, and male family members want her to date a good provider. He'd rather she didn't date anyone, but you can become his next best option. And calm his over-protective instincts by not being too touchy-feely when he's around.

Your Boss's Daughter

Why you shouldn't

He holds your financial testes in his hands. Averted eyes over breakfast may not up your chances of promotion.

Why you should

She's out of bounds, so while most people will look, very few will touch. She is very powerful by association and power is a mighty aphrodisiac. This means most men will be scared to approach her, so the field is clear and she may be grateful for your confident advances.

The next move

Two of the main traits women find attractive are power and self-confidence. A man who takes a risk exudes power and you can score big just by making a mature, confident approach. Don't go to great lengths to impress her - if you'd take a first date to a burger bar, then take her there. The key is not to be in awe of her status, which will allow her to relax and enjoy herself. And hopefully you, too.

Your Child's Teacher

Why you shouldn't

Parents' evenings are awkward enough without come-to-bed-eyes across the table. She’s a big influence in your child's life. If you screw up, will junior suffer?

Why you should

If you're a single parent, new people are hard to meet and you already have common ground. Plus she likes children. Well, you'd hope so anyway.

The next move

You probably have a three-minute slot to make an impression, so apply speed-dating tactics. Make eye contact, mention you're taking your child for pizza and ask what her favorite topping is. This open-ended question will draw her into conversation and she'll feel she has disclosed private information to you. Eye contact and disclosing personal info are key in making someone fall for you.

The Work Experience Girl

Why you shouldn't

Think Lewinsky. Dribbling over 22-year-olds marks you as the office letch; losing colleagues' respect and blowing your chances with any other women.

Why you should

You're pursuing the same career so have plenty in common. As soon as she's packed up her desk, you've got the green light. As long as she's not off to do her matric.

The next move

Asking her out should be the easy bit - women are wired to be attracted to high earners. Ask her out for a drink on the pretext of giving her some career pointers. If it progresses dodge the jibes by getting it out in the open. Men who enter workplace relationships because they have authentic romantic rather than lustful feelings generate positive office gossip.

The Girl your Mate is After

Why you shouldn't

There's no bigger blow to a man's ego than to be rejected in favor of his friends.

Why you should

You've got the same taste in music, films and friends as your mate, and this will inevitably extend to women to a certain degree.

The next move

Don't make it into a competition. Instead, set him up with someone else. His attraction for the other girl will decrease as his oxytocin levels starts to rise in reaction to the new girl.
