Dear Teachers,

1. If you want to get anywhere with women, you have to be happy with yourself.
- "get anywhere" here means "get attention", right?

2. Next time you meet a girl, be totally positive. Don't take the situation too seriously.
- "take" here means "make", right?

Thanks a lot Teachers,

1. It means if you want the relationship to progress.

2. To take something seriously, means to treat it as something that is very important to you... So this sentence means, even if it is important, you are supposed to relax and have some fun with it. That way the girl may enjoy herself too!.
