Dating Advice for Men: The Essential Guide
Posted on 06. Nov, 2012 by inMotion Dating in Dating Advice for Men
When it comes to dating, it’s not just women who worry about whether the guy will like her, or if they’ll get on with each other, or what she should wear. In fact, most men have the same concerns that women do. Wouldn’t it be great if we could read just one book or article and then know everything there is to know about women, relationships and dating? Unfortunately it doesn’t work that way.
The best dating advice often comes from people who have been in the same situations we have, and have gained some comforting wisdom that we can relate to.
When dating, always keep in mind that advice is simply what someone else thinks might help you. The person giving the advice may not necessarily know your true state of mind or be familiar with your particular circumstances. Therefore it’s important to take note of the advice you have been given since other’s opinions are valuable, but use this advice to form your own opinion of what will work for you specifically.
Here are some dating tips that will help you when going on dates. Remember, these are just tips, so you may want to adjust some of them to suit your own personality and goals.
Dating Tips for Men
- Prepare yourself for the date. Think about what it is you would like to find out about her. Also think about what she might ask you. You definitely don’t want the conversation to dry up half way into the date.
- The worst thing you can do when going on a date is to turn up unshaven and looking dirty. You would also be appalled if your date pitched up that way. It may be fickle but unfortunately it’s true, appearances are important, and first impressions are critical to your success.
- Whatever you do, don’t arrive late! She’ll definitely get the wrong impression. Not only will she think you’ve stood her up, she will also think you’re unreliable, and that meeting her isn’t important to you.
- Be a gentleman, open the door for her, and pull out her chair in the restaurant. Women like to feel special, so treat her like a lady and she’ll be impressed.
- Compliment her. A woman loves to be complimented, even if she doesn’t show it. Don’t go overboard though as she might doubt you sincerity, but let her feel that you are attracted to her.
- Ask questions and genuinely listen to her answers. After all you’re going on a date to get to know her. There’s nothing that a woman likes more than someone who is interested in what she has to say. And don’t go on and on about yourself the whole night!
- It’s advisable that you avoid bringing up adult topics such as sex toys for example, on at least the first 3 dates. In the long run this can only do you good, and she will certainly be more interested in you if you hold back.
- Offer to pay, when it comes to paying the bill. If she insists on paying, then suggest splitting the bill.
- What about the goodnight kiss? Some women prefer not to kiss on a first date, while others will be disappointed if you don’t. Judge the situation for yourself. Her body language will give you a good indication of what to do.
- When leaving, only ask for her number or tell her you will call, if you really mean it. In the long run this will be best for both of you. If you do like her and are interested, then don’t be afraid to let her know.
We hope these dating tips will help you succeed. Just remember to be yourself, but keep those first impressions in mind… If you have any questions or tips based on your own dating experience, please share them in the comments below.
