Practical Dating Advice for the Sensible
Woman
No one ever said dating was easy, but there is a right way and wrong way to approach new dating endeavors.
Unfortunately it is easy to get stuck in bad habits that go on to create a pattern of unfulfilling dating
experiences. Here are some practical dating tips for women looking to get the most out of a new
encounter...
1. Be Unique –AKA- Be Yourself
Don’t bother beginning a new relationship with a façade
because you won’t be able to keep it up forever. If you want to meet men who are truly attracted to you then
you have to be YOU. But even more than that, you should strive to be your unique self. Certainly you’ve
been on dates with guys who bore you to tears. Well don’t
think this doesn’t happen to men as well! It is okay to share some basic details about your career and
friends, but it is much more interesting for your date when you discuss your dreams, goals, and temptations.
These are the things that define you as a person.
 2. Project Confidence
What do you find more attractive in
men…quiet, shy guys who don’t say much OR ambitious, energetic men who want to share their world with
you? If you are like most women then you prefer the latter. Despite the common stereotype of
dainty and submissive women getting all the men, the truth is that the majority of guys seek confident women for long-term relationships. They need
to know that they have a partner who can carry their weight in a relationship. Thus, they want to see
your confidence shine through right from the start.
3. Attract with Positivity
Just like you try to avoid negative people in your own life, your
date doesn’t care much to hear about your awful day, financial troubles, or how your boss doesn’t appreciate
you. Dating, and romantic relationships in general should represent everything that is good about our
lives. Even a small dose of negativity on the first few dates can kill the positive vibe. Being
positive, especially in the face of adversity, is a very desirable attribute. When you put your best forward
you will have no trouble attracting men.
4. Have an Opinion
You shouldn’t be hesitant to share an opinion with your date. After
all, these opinions form the backbone of your likes and dislikes…so hiding them is almost like lying. Men
love engaging conversation and competing viewpoints, which is why they so often discuss sports and politics with
their friends. Agreeing with everything a guy says may be the path of least resistance but it does nothing to
separate you from the competition. By sharing your perspective on
different topics you provide more ways for attraction to build.
5. Understand Perception
We date people to get to know them and determine if they are a good
match for a relationship. With that comes a hyper-sensitive period in the beginning when we analyze
everything they say or do. This is why it is important to recognize the perception of your dating
partner. Even if you feel comfortable around them you still need to consider your words and actions.
Dating someone new is a much different situation than say relaxing with your friends. While your friends know
you well enough to tell when you are joking around, your date is still learning to trust you. Bottom line,
act appropriately and know that your behavior is making an impression on everyone you interact with.
