The ranking (votes):

4. Smile and touch them (3600)

Sadly there is a fine line between a displaying a flattering interest in exchanging mails with someone and outright stalking or harassing them – although this is at least less risky than the “body touch” method.
Fortunately, with it mostly being women who are placed in this position, and presumably giving these answers, the chances of wandering hands causing offence seem much reduced.

4. Smile and touch them (3600)
6. “Body touch” (1479)
So a smile is what makes all the difference?
Ahegao was the first thing that popped up....
Sure does

Oh, I like smiling and touching people, but people don't appreciate my efforts. ^_^
well,depends on what kind of "Smile"
I thought option 1 would be 'show them how high your salary is'.
9. Dress like them (316)
And my imagination runs wild...... xD
Traps is my first thought...
before I get down commented,I'll say this
HIDEYOSHI FTW!
well, so how long you think your relationship with her last long if just concern about money?
until your money runs out.
I somewhat doubt someone would do that if they want to keep the money to themselves AND subsequently proceed to take their targets' savings.
"I thought option 1 would be 'show them how high your salary is'."
...or many zeros on your bank balance. Don't think they would care if you got no salary or income, if you got enough money to blow 10 lives over lol
Plenty of zeroes in my statements. Most of them are leading, but they're still significant digits.
Keep talking to them about their interests......
sometimes hearing their interest helps....
Most of the time, being a good listener helps a lot.
^Very true.
'Slong this heart-to-heart convo doesn't end up as a one-to-one with a wall....
When you find yourself having a heart-to-heart talk with a wall, it's time to cut down on the drinking...
No point cutting down since hes already wasted to be talking to a wall.
yea but hearing them talk about them sevles is just conceded to me
...you're trying to hookup.
do you know what that means?
Knowing how to stay in the kitchen.
I still don't get this joke...
is it sexist?
If a man says it to a woman, yes...
If a woman says it to a man, I'd say it's feminist - so yes, it's sexist both ways.
1. Increase the frequency of your mails (10581)
They forgot to mention this method might progress and land up in;
"How Do You Know Someone Is Stalking You Now?"
Fun fact: I've seen a case of a Japanese dude trying this (1. Increase the frequency of your mails) to get to the point of dating with some girl. Result? She stopped responding and confided in a friend of mine that she felt it was bothersome and in fact a bit intrusive.
It might work better if the person sending the mails is a girl, but there's always the risk of being seen as too clingy, too desperate or too stalker-ish. Increasing the frequency is fine, but increasing it too much is ruining your chances.
Body Touch is how I always signal to a perspective partner my interest.
@Neonie
A girl can touch another girl but a dude can't touch another dude. I've come to the conclusion that a dude can't touch anyone apart from themselves.
I'm all for Body Touch! What's wrong with Body Touch!
...and 9. Dress like them (316)
Crossdressing ?! wtf !?
I love the double standard that it's totally ok for a girl to touch a dude but not ok for a dude to touch a girl.
I'm all in for "Say hello to them every day. In Japan."
Ooooor I can dress like them.
I'm all in for "Say hello to them everyday".
Oooor dress up like them. :V
Article pic resembles Utsuho ^^
awesome
I think this is a general good list tough i must agree with the above comments as if done in excess there is a chance of seeming too clingy/ a pervert/ or someone who is too loose.
tl;dr Moderation is your friend!
Well from my experience, my current girlfriend came onto me :) It was a week before her birthday and she is the niece of my best friend for the past 17 years....anyway I get a call 5 years ago, from her, saying her niece will be coming to my state for a short visit. I meet the girl (who was going on 21 at the time) I met her and said to myself, "she's very cute and sweet, but very shy", much like myself (shy). We go on a few casual dates for about 3 weeks...and one particular date, she wore a micro-mini skirt :O .... I saw her and said to myself "Oh MY GOD....she is HOT!" That night on the way back from a nightclub, we are sitting in the back seat of her uncle's car, and she places her hand on my left leg and starts to rub it!! I knew right away that she liked me :) ... about a week after that was her 21st birthday....we all went out to dinner than back to her aunt and uncle's house for cake and wine....well, I finally had the courage (after a few glasses of wine) to ask her if she would like a "birthday Kiss" and without hesitation, she answered yes. We started dating right after that.
So my point is sometimes it's a very good thing that the woman takes the first step. I just took the second step after her telling me by touching and rubbing my leg that she liked me. We have been together 5 years now. And very much in love.
So chikan are just persons in love...
Body touch is part of those manly things that girls like so much.
If you're insecure, you won't go for body touch, hence you're not manly, hence you're a loser... Well it's not that simple, cause you can't touch a girl without her consent, but it's really important.
It's important to have a nice conversation, listen to her and be interested (really interested not faking it) in what she likes. It's important to be in contact with her but not to gravitate around her or else she will lose interest in you...
they forgot 11: kidnap and rape until mindbreak
Sometimes posting anonymously makes me feel human again.
Also, these charts are lame, if you're interesting to their other person, then they'll ask you out, sometimes it doesn't even require any effort.
#1 is what the internet called a spammer...
Well, when a girl is touching my penis I'm all for it and I know she wants to fuck then.
Likewise, when does "body touching" become "unwelcome advances" (like if the guy she's interested in has a girlfriend)
Ah, the damn picture somewhat made me think of a Lelouch who underwent gender transplant and is using "mailed geass" on some unsuspecting boytoy.
Yeah, cause coming off as Desperate ALWAYS gets them in the Mood ;)
4. Smile and touch them-creeper much?
6. “Body touch”-train groping action! nice!
7. Other-I like where this is going~
8. Invite them to an event organised by your friend
now its a 3-way! :) friends share
9. Dress like them-trappin'wut!
All these are kinda creepy. Dress like them and keep sending more messages? SCARY AS HELL.
the list is for "stalkers 101"
Yeah, I am a guy and I would be a little weirded out if a girl I knew started dressing like me....
i say first the eye crossing then share interests
later body touching gently THEN increasing a bit mail activity
hahahaha but WTF with dressing the same?
what if shes a schoolgirl? lol
that'll ruin everything with almost every girl
If a girl came to me and said: "ohai im gonna blow you nao, lay down" I'd go out with her
Or... you can just do this, "wanna for have sex back at my apartment?"
P.S. With the Indian Accent
