Dear Lady and The Scamp,

I have this charming boss who I have noticed has a soft spot for me.  It is taking too long for him to make the move.  What can I do to make him fall for me? He travels frequently. Please advise.

This could be the best or worst career move you will ever make. If he is all-powerful, unscrupulous and randy, you could form a beautiful partnership where you fondle him in exchange for promotions. A bit like a whore that makes National Insurance contributions.
But what's more likely — and apologies for being unromantic - is that you have sex a few times, it fizzles out, things become awkward and he fires you.
If you're not that fussed about your job and you just really like him, by all means ask him out. Maybe you could say you've arranged a very important meeting for him — in your bed! He'll like that. But I think the best quality you can show him is discretion.
Bear in mind that if he's the kind of boss who sleeps with his PA, there's a good chance

Dear Lady and The Scamp,

I met this girl at a club. I took her number and we arranged a date but at short notice she pulled out. She told me not to worry and that she'd let me know when she could go out, as she is busy with work. Now I am just wondering, shall I call her or wait for her call?

Well, it's not looking great. 'Busy with work' is one of the classic excuses for blowing someone out, along with 'ill', 'going on holiday', 'called up to Afghanistan' and 'playing Monopoly with Frank Bruno'.

On the other hand, you have to give her a chance. Maybe she really is busy with work. But despite your eagerness to know, you have to be patient because she's kept the ball in her court.

The girl has probably already made her decision. And if she doesn't want to go out with you, there's a limited amount you can do to change her mind with just a phone at your disposal. But if she is interested, you can certainly put her off by being a needy texter. So you need to stay strong

Dear Lady and The Scamp,

I've been running in the local park and there is a guy who runs there too. We've both been looking at each other. But even though I'm a very confident person, I've always thought that guys should make the first move. This time I want to say something - but I'm afraid he'll mistake my confidence for sleaziness... what should I do?

What a fit and sexy pair, this is like something out of a romantic comedy starring Sandra Bullock and David Duchovny. Does he look anything like him?

In the film, one of you dishy athletes — probably you, Sandra — would stumble and fall over while simultaneously jogging and checking out Dave's package. Then he'd come to make sure you were OK and a passionate fling would ensue, with hilarious consequences.

So why not try that? Smash your face into the pavement at high speed. If he helps, you've broken the ice (and maybe your nose). If he ignores you and just keeps jogging, he's a loser anyway.

Or if that
