slides:none on file

Maps software design patterns onto dating with concrete patterns and tactics: Cary Grant helper (hold doors, pull chairs, give uncommon compliments), fifth position break (learn to dance and dance with many women to spark curiosity), surprise statefulness (store personal details >3 weeks and follow up with relevant gifts or tickets). Also: lend an umbrella or chocolate (unexpected resource god), use friends as bridge interpreters. Trade-offs: high time/money cost, risk of friend‑zone or being exposed if interests are faked.
