THE first course of Pastor Benny's I attended was "10 keys to choosing a Life Partner". the recent one (2nd one for me) was "Practical Keys to Mentoring".

really learnt some pointers here and there. Pastor Benny's really engaging:) the $4 was squeezed to its maximum. seemed to small a fee. guess he just wants to bless us:) oh anyway, some of the pointers really really seem to be guides (in disguise heh heh) for BGR relationships. haha, see for yourself.. Pastor's pointers vs ours.

ideas on how to initiate a mentoring relationship:

ONE
Pastor: Call the prospect up and ask to see him about a specific issue.
US: Call the cute prospect up and ask him to help you in this question that you're stuck at, or maybe your project needs some extra input which you really think he can help you with.

TWO
Pastor: Affirm his/her expertise and ask him to help you develop yours.
US: Do the same thing but the main idea is - Persistance. Really works. (but note: don't hit on him/her yet) you need help in your project, remember? (refer to number ONE if you dun tsk tsk.)

THREE
Pastor: Ask for feedback on the area that you want him to help you.
US: Do the same thing but don't be too hard on him/her UNLESS it's a nerd/nerdette we're talking about here. cos they'll be really flattered that you are seeking their advice and everything. but come again, you must be quite mad also.

FOUR
Pastor: Turn up when there are structured opportunity to interact with him.
US: same thing. we're lacking of some creativity here. sigh.

FIVE
Pastor: If he offers you a meeting, take it up.
US: Ah, in this case. He/she is giving you the number to contact them, meaning there IS hope! you are this close to your goal!

SIX(and final)
Pastor: Ask him about his mentoring experience as a bridge.
US: Ask him/her about their past relationships (but becareful on that, not very advisable cos that fellow might very well still be crazy over his/her previous beau) WE advice to ask them about the kind of qualities and characteristics they like in a bf/gf, you know, strike conversation. yeah

Results!
Pastor: You have just successfully initiated a mentoring relationship:)
US: you MIGHT get yourself a cute bf/gf. BUT at your own risks. we're just kidding around. haha...

ps: what say YOU? similar right? you just have to take the "mentoring" word away and add in more pointers. haha, whoever tries OUR ideas and succeeds, let me know k:)
