Five Deadly Dating Mistakes

It never ceases to amaze me that men tend to make the same five deadly dating mistakes time after time after time. It doesn’t seem to matter if they have been dating for a long time or if they are new to the dating scene. Maybe these mistakes are just genetic. I know they are universal.

If you want to impress a woman and have a second or third or many more dates with her here are three things that you must not to do and two things that you must do.

Mistake #1: You Talk about Yourself Too Much
Most guys try to impress women by talking all through a date. Women have heard it all before. But, if you ask her about herself, shut up and listen, and display a SMALL degree of interest, she will begin to wonder why you’re not slobbering all over her. She will want to discover more about you herself. Now you are a challenge, and women love challenging guys. Why? Because they rarely meet one, that’s why.

Mistake #2: You Don’t Know How to Ask Questions
Asked questions require answers. Come up with a list before you leave the house like: How did you get into that line of work? Where did you go to school? Have you seen the new Tom Cruise movie? And so on. If a woman tells you about her weekend at the yoga center, and you know absolutely nothing about yoga, just ask her what she likes about it, how she got into it, etc.

Mistake #3: You Don’t Show Your Appreciation
Compliments makes a woman see that you are observant and women like observant men. Show some appreciation. Simply find something you like and mention it. You may be freaked out by the idea of complimenting a woman on her soulful eyes, so mention her watch, dress, hairstyle, or even her shoes. No need to go overboard: “Nice shoes,” will do it…just don’t over do it either.

Mistake #4: Quit Trying to Impress Her
Be yourself. Exaggerating or boasting your credentials, successes, etc will only make the woman lose interest. Make her feel at ease so that she does not feel pressured to impress or lie to you. Sincerity is the best policy. Everybody feels more comfortable around people who are genuine and sincere and not “putting on the dog”.

Mistake #5: Treat Her Like Royalty
Open doors and car doors for her. Pull out her chair at a restaurant. Help her take off her coat and hold it for her when she puts it back on. The morning after the first date send her a small meaningful gift or some flowers. Show her that you value her company. Women loved to be showered with attention and pampered by her man. For the subsequent date, Cook up a meal at home and spend the evening watching movies. NOT action packed adventure movies that involve a lot of car chases and blood, play board games or just listen to music that your both enjoy.

There really isn’t a lot of mystery surrounding successful dating. By using common courtesy and good manners you can be very successful at dating and be able to enjoy the company of whichever woman you choose to be with.
