So here you are looking for dating tips for women because yet another date somehow went sour. You thought everything was sailing along just fine. You wore your flirty dress and made your moves and though the evening was going well. However, when it came to that good night kiss, all you got was a brief handshake and a man bolting for his car. What happened? The following are some common mistakes followed by some common sense dating tips that every woman should know.
1. "You're so Funny! Just like my Ex!"
No one wants to hear about your ex-boyfriend or ex-husband on a first date. Maybe your ex was an amazing guy, maybe he was the biggest jerk on the planet. Either way no potential suitor wants to be thinking about your past relationships while trying to start up a new one of his own. Live in the present, not the past.
2. "Can you hold that thought? I have to take this."
One of the most important dating tips of the modern age: Ladies, put that phone away. Every man wants to have a woman's full attention while on a date. Your date does not want to listen to you make chit-chat with every friend that calls your cell phone during dinner. This goes double for texting. Cell phone usage during dinner is rude no matter who your dinner companion is, but especially so on a date. Unless you are a doctor on call, leave that phone in your bag!
3. I swear to drunk I'm not god, seriously.
Of all the dating tips here at least take this one to heart: Drinking like a fish and becoming a sloppy drunk on a date never made anyone look sexy. It is ok to have a glass or two of your favorite wine; it's good for the body and the spirit. Know your limits though. No man wants to carry you home and clean vomit off his shoes on a first date.
4. You're so right! You are always right!
You might think you are flattering his ego by agreeing with everything he says, but having no opinions at all of your own will eventually make the date rather boring for the both of you. Don't be afraid to show a little personality, joke around, and most importantly, be yourself. Don't be overly argumentative, but don't be an opinion-less doormat. A lively and intelligent conversation where a woman can hold her own ground on a topic can be quite a turn on for a man.
Follow these easy dating tips and you will be on your way to a better dating life in no time!
