The vulgar: The family test: If you've listened to her attentively, then there's nothing to worry about. Remember that first date when you discussed each other's family lives? Well, here's your chance to put your listening skills to the test. If you remember things about her family, mention them while on later dates with her, by asking her whatever happened to her sister's sick dog, or referring to something she told you about her father's golf game. If you don't remember what she told you, or don't even know whether or not she told you, just ask her; you'll score points by showing a sincere interest.
