The Victoria’s Secret Angels are some of the most desired women in the world: perfectly-toned bodies, million dollar smiles, and legs for days.

Rule One: Be yourself.

Candice Swanepoel: “It’s funny how every guy is so shy—they would never try to ask an Angel out on a date. Just go for it! Just be compassionate, and a gentleman.
Lily Aldridge: “Be funny. You can always win a girl over by making her laugh.”

Rule Two: Don’t try to show off.

CS: “Be sincere, not like ‘oh I have this, I do this…’ for me, it’s something more personal like a home-cooked meal, or somewhere with a great vibe.”
What about a really fancy, over-the-top dinner at the most expensive place in town?
LA: “DON’T.”

Rule Three: Take them to the 50 Shades of Grey premiere.
This rule was a resounding YES from both ladies.

Rule Four: No cheesy gifts.

CS: “Flowers are always a yes.”
LA: “Heart locket pendants are an absolute NO.”

Rule Five: All Angels love lingerie.

CS: “Lingerie is ALWAYS GOOD”
LA: “YES- Victoria’s Secret, of course!”
