Some Dating Suggestions

While you're thinking about what went wrong in your relationship, it might be a good idea to consider some dating don'ts.

For example, there are some things that women should probably not do when on a date with a man. Many of these things can be relationship killers. Be careful. You have been warned.

It's probably not a good idea to go into your life story. Save it for another day. Most likely his eyes will simply glaze over, or he will start looking around the room. Always keep your answers short and sweet, he will most likely ask for details later. That's one way to judge his interest in you. Does he ask follow-up questions?

For instance, is he asks how many brothers and sisters you have, just tell him the number. Don't go into your life with them, your interactions with them, or what you think of them. Just stick to the facts and you will do fine.

Make it a rule of thumb to ask him at least one question for every question he asks you. Don't talk too much. Give him a chance to talk and be a good listener. (Men - this goes for you too!; I see you laughing. :) )

One thing you never want to do is lie. Got that? Never, ever lie! I really believe that lies will catch up with you sooner or later. Many women (and men) lie about their age, marital status, employment, height, weight and a host of other things in their online profiles. That is a huge mistake. If you find a man who you are really interested in, he will find out you lied and there goes any possibility of the relationship progressing. So, just be honest. There is someone out there who will like you - even come to love you - for exactly the person you are.

And don't be too eager. It makes you look desperate and it really puts a man off. They are first and foremost conquerors and if getting the person of their desires to like them too is just too easy, they will quickly lose interest. I don't mean play "hard-to-get."

Play it safe and play it cool. Do that and you can get what - and who - you want.
