Dating Do's and Don'ts For Females
by Jay Bauder
It can be difficult to be a woman in
the dating arena. A lot of things can go wrong for you more than it can
for your male counterpart. Plus, men can be really dense about a few
things. Well, no worries. Here are a few tips on what to do and not to
do during a date:
1) Timing is important - Timing as in
'on time'. No matter what they say, there is no such thing as
'fashionably late'. For the first date, this can give the guy jitters
and make him think that you've stood him up. For the later dates,
having him wait for you in the living room for half an hour with either
your roommate, your sister or, worse, your father is not something you
want him to do - whether it be for the embarrassing stories or Dad's
'eyes of doom'.
2) Keep your head on straight - Yes,
we all know dates are supposed to be fun, but knowing what's going on
is important both for your own safety and for you love life. Is your
date acting suspicious or just nervous? Maybe you'd want to end the
date early or do something to calm him down. Is he taking notice of
what you're wearing or just ogling? The choice to either wink at him or
just stare knowingly is up to you. Is his attention on you or the girl
next to you? You might wish to reward him with a smile or a slap.
Situational awareness is not just for soldiers on the front but also
for young women on the prowl.
3) Be nice - Have a positive attitude,
find things that you like and tell him. Compliment him about his
clothes, how he looks and how well the date is going. It puts him at
ease and also makes him feel important. It also shows him that you're
taking notice of him and you appreciate him. But, don't lie. Like I
said, look at the bright side of things - the service of the restaurant
may have been slow but the ambience was terrific. Try making it into a
habit, you aren't lying - you're just being diplomatic!
4) Do not complain - This may be
technically part of tip three, but it deserves a separate heading. This
doesn't mean that you shouldn't tell him that something is wrong or
something makes you uncomfortable. The way you phrase it and the tone
you use is important here. 'Venting', like we do with our girl friends,
is not going to go over well with him since he'll probably
misinterpret it. Grin and bear it then tell him after the date in calm,
reasoned tones your problem. Trust me, he'll understand and he'll try
to make it up to you.
5) Enjoy the date - A date is a chance
to get to know each other and to enjoy yourselves. Have fun during the
date. Try not to be hyper-critical and just take things in stride. If
you're not having fun, your date will notice and, trust me, he will get
nervous which will probably start ruining the experience for both of
you. Also, just let your guard down for a little while. Let him see the
real you. He may or may not like it, but in the end he will appreciate
the honesty of the act. Besides, if he doesn't like you for you, why
should you keep on dating?
6) Afterwards, show interest - If you
really like the guy, waiting for the call after a successful date is
nerve-wracking. You know he's interested and you're definitely
interested, you're just waiting for him to call you so you could
arrange another date. Try giving him a day or two. He usually has to
get his act together and work up the courage to call. If he doesn't
call, he's probably still tongue-tied from being in your presence. Call
him up to say hello. Talk about the date and how you had fun and give
hints. No matter how dense he will pick up on it and he'll probably be
asking you for another date!
7) Be consistent - For those who've
crossed the 'First Date' Rubicon, try maintaining the impression you
made on him on that first date. Men don't like surprises except, of
course, if they plan them. This doesn't mean, however, that you'll just
give him the first date you. Talk to each other, both on and off
dates, to get to know each other more. What he got on the first date
was a sneak peek, what he should get from your continued dating should
be the entire reel.
Well, there they are seven tips for
dating success! Hopefully, this advice could help lead you through
today's tough tangle of relationships. Happy hunting!
