1. RECOGNIZE AND UTILIZE YOUR STRENGTHS
Everyone
has a special skill, whether it is humor, conversational ability, or
athletic prowess. Think about your number one strength and incorporate
it into your dating regime. What you look like is not of supreme
importance.
2. GET HELP
If you are not
confidant, and need to get help, then utilize your friends. Choose one
that you think is successful, and ask for some tips. Some people find
the socialising scene easier than others’. If you are having real
trouble try asking a girl who is a friend to go out on a practise date.
Then ask her what went wrong.?
3. REMEMBER THAT SOCIAL AND DATING SKILLS ARE NOT LEARNT IN A CLASSROOM
Practise
your skills regarding interaction with other people. Try not to brag
all the time and listen to others. Try and bring out the best in others
and make them warm to your personality.
4. BEING RESPONSIVE TO THE NEEDS OF OTHERS IS NOT WEAKNESS
You
are not a wimp if you are aware of the times when other people need
your support. We have come a long way since Men dragged women off by
their hair to a cave. In a complex world girls need more than physical
protection, and the provision, of the odd beast to eat, they do have
emotional needs as well.
5. LEARN THE ART OF ASKING MEANINGFUL QUESTIONS
Many
men mix up the difference between a statement and a question, yet the
difference is very basic and grasping the options that you can give the
girls is a way to improving your relationships. Some men understand the
difference for instance "whew it sure is hot, is a statement you are
stating a fact and gives someone else little to reply to. How hot is
this, aren’t you hot? is a question asking for a response.
I
have often listened to young men and wonder how they can get it wrong?
They fire a series of questions off so fast, it is like being
interrogated.
Ask a question, and then give a short answer,
that’s interesting, and then maybe follow it up with "Why do you feel
like that?" Learn to incorporate the questions into smooth conversation.
6. UNDERSTAND THAT YOU MUST TAKE RISKS
Find
the little things that you think are romantic, and act on them. This is
fairly hard for some men, they are taught that real men don’t express
their feelings, you will appear weak if you do so. To be
self-expressive you must be able to express your feelings. It may all
go horribly wrong and you may hurt someone but the more you practise
the easier it becomes.
7 BE UNPREDICTABLE
Don’t
always do what you think women expect. A bunch of flowers is nice but
too often is ‘old hat’ these days. Think of something different to do
that will be fun for both of you. This does not need to be expensive, a
candle lit dinner is wonderful, but there are other ways of doing
something different. Women love dancing, and if you can’t afford to go
out dancing play some romantic music at home, and relax.
8. COOK HER A MEAL
How
special does a woman feel when her guy has gone to the trouble to shop,
and prepare food for her. It does not have to be a five course gourmet
dinner. Start with something simple like a salad, and even if you can’t
cook, practise one main course. Women think this is very romantic, and
are quite likely to be bowled over by the gesture. Even if it does not
taste that great, she will appreciate the thought.
9 BE AWARE OF THE GIRL’S BODY LANGUAGE
Body
language is quite complex, but some things are easy. Practise on your
friends. You should be able to recognize what sort of a general mood
someone is in by the way that they hold themselves. Look at how relaxed
people are looking when they laugh, they look as though they have not a
care in the world. In contrast when people are holding themselves
together, they look tense, and strung up. How many times have you seen
a girl out and she is yawning, which is a sure sign she is bored, but
on top of that she is giving men the brush off. Learn to read body
language, and give yourself a fighting chance of success.
10. NEVER UNDER ESTIMATE THE POWER OF A SENSE OF HUMOR
Women
are real suckers for men that make them laugh. Laughter reduces tension
and makes them feel more relaxed. It takes some of the stress out of
getting to know someone. Even if it means telling little stories
against yourself. By this I do not mean put yourself down, but tell a
story when something you did backfired on you in a funny way.
