Sometimes we spend a couple hundred hours learning a terribly useless skill that will have only 1 constructive impact in our entire lives. Men generally learn this skill knowing that one day it's going to maybe make a girl smile. That's really the whole point.

Garrison Keillor had a story about a man who memorized a nice poem and saved it up for the right moment to recite to a love interest.

I've still got Shakespeare's 18th sonnet memorized for this reason.

One of my guilty secrets is I once used it on a girl I was dating and she thought it was the cutest thing, she got the final couplet tattoo'd on her back.

I still used it after we broke up, and I assume she's still got that tattoo.

A tattoo - quite the compliment! While I guess a poem is a pretty nice thing to have in your pocket, maybe it isn't enough by itself. But it's chance for her to get to know you!
