what really drives women wild? what can i do to make her never forget the night? and how can i impress upon a certain lady friend my intentions without seeming like a pervert?

be the gentleman. flowers, wine, maybe a kiss goodnight.. don't push things.

actually listen to her, hear what she says and take it seriously ... and then take the opportunities to let her know that you have heard her and that it matters to you. Well it works on me anyway.
