While it would be nice to say that men are the reasons that both dates and relationships go sour, women are sometimes to blame as well.
As women, we are held to a different standard than men and therefore you should act accordingly. It may not be what you want to hear, but if you’re nearing your thirties and are suddenly hearing a ticking sound it could be your biological clock telling you it’s time to change something. If you’re going to nail the guy you want to spend the rest of your life with, you’re going to have to learn the things you should never do while dating him. So, grab a notepad and begin taking notes from the info listed below.
1. Talk About Your Past - this action will turn a man away in a minute. No matter how much your date might pry, diving too deep into specifics about your past could prove to be a deal breaker. On your first date there is no need for him to know about how many guys you’ve been with, how many times you’ve been cheated on, your theory on men and relationships, or anything else for that matter. Trying to get that all in on one night can be overwhelming and pretty intimidating to men. Keeping your conversation, light and simple leaves the door open for more conversations and more dates in the future. This is especially true for those women who just broke up with an ex, talking about your ex to your new guy can give off the feeling that you are still bitter over what happened. No man wants a woman with emotional baggage.
2. Complaining Jane – What annoys men the most is a woman that complains about everything. Even if the date is not your idea of a good time you should try your best to adapt to it. Lots of time women complain without even realizing it about the service they are receiving, the taste of the food, the condition of the restaurant, the crowds or other tables nearby, and more. If a guy took the time to try and plan a nice evening for you, you should not complain the entire time, or it will never happen again. If you really had a bad time but like the guy himself, consider planning the next date to show him the types of things you like to do.
3. Tag Along – Ok ladies, bringing a friend along with you in case the date should go sour brings off the wrong vibes from the beginning. It makes your date feel as if you have closed the door on future possibilities by bringing a “back up plan” or it makes them feel that you don’t feel safe therefore you brought “additional protection”. Either way it is not a great idea if you want to see the guy again. It’s ok to be nervous about going out with a stranger, but instead of tagging someone along, try sending them a text message about where you will be and what time you should be expected home.
This is a safe method that won’t leave anyone offended.
Going out on first dates can be a lot of fun if you carry yourself appropriately. Evaluate yourself to be sure that you are not doing the wrong things on your date. If you want to meet the man of your dreams, you’re going to have to meet him halfway.
