Stop-look-listen is only half joking. Seriously, that's pretty much all you need to do. If you're not in a rush to spew your love-goo and actually pay attention to what makes your lady-friend scream profanity, you'll go far as a lover.
Interestingly enough, this advice has a number of applications. Surviving an argument with said lady-friend, not looking like an idiot at work, crossing the street intact. The list goes on.
I challenge you to find three more practical words.
