Good grief, is everyone *really* this clueless?

*LISTEN* to her.  Find out what her likes & dislikes are, then do enough
research to know something about those subjects yourself.  Take an
interest in
what she does.	Spending *your* time and attention on *her* interests
and
activities will do it almost every time.

BTW, don't expect her to reciprocate - that comes later. :)

Also, if you find that you don't enjoy doing the things that she does,
well -
better to find it out up front and bail out early (enlightened self
interest).
