Dating and the "Rules"

Whether you're simply looking for a date, a long term commitment or just a member of the opposite sex to spend quality time with here's a few tips from a creative romantic type. The first mistake many women make is stereo typing men in general. I've heard women run the entire male population down while admitting they'd like to find "someone". Men tend to be more perceptive than we may give them credit for. When a woman has a positive outlook on the male gender and on life in general this optimistic attitude will shine through during conversation.
Remember to smile when a man of interest crosses your path and abstain from making public statements which may come across as male bashing.

#1 Rule in Dating: Always be a lady. Regardless of the atmosphere or how other women around you are behaving, it's important to maintain a reasonable degree of self control, especially when in the company of a man you may want to invite home to meet mom or the other way around.Acting improper might ruin your chances., however, I am in no way suggesting that you act like anything other than "you!" If he doesn't like that and asks you to "tone it down" or "be quiet" he may not be the right one for you. There's always the possibility when in the company of a stranger that he could get the wrong impression or maybe he's a mad man undercover. He could make unfair assumptions about you as well as you could about him. Men notice a certain sweetness in women who say please and thank you. Etiquette for dummies! Buy it if you don't have it. It will be the best ten bucks you'll spend! Most of all keep your clothes on in public. Refrain from cussing and inappropriate topics even if he's all guts. You don't want to lead him on. Raunchy isn't necessary even if you're interested in more than a good-night kiss. He's the only one who needs to know your intentions anyway and there are plenty of suitable ways to convey your message such as, "I'd like to get know you better too." Let him kiss you on the cheek at the end of the date. Make him want to come back for the real kiss! Hey, I may have been born and raised in Youngstown Ohio where the population is small verse the big city living I got used to,...but- some things don't change. We were raised right and we are proud of our backgrounds.

Although, being a lady or at least appearing to be one is vital to your safety and reputation , appearing prude may not be the best strategy either. Anytime a single man meets a single woman he finds attractive who shows interest in him he knows instantly that at some point either now or later the relationship may become physical or at least he probably prefers that it will. Don't push him! If you think that you may want to find yourself cuddled up in his arms all evening sometime, even if that time hasn't yet arrived, coming across as stand offish will only stifle his advances. This is where obtaining a sense of balance comes into play. Though you want to make it clear what you do and don't want, there's no harm in a single woman engaging in a little flirting. So, how does a lady flirt? Dear Lord, if I have to tell you this, we're all in big trouble! Men may be known as the tougher sex, but inside where it counts, most men long for an affectionate mate. You have every right to determine how close is too close. Just be careful not to put him off if what you really want is to turn him on.

A man and a woman may have many things in common. Here's the kicker...Ego, in my opinion, is often one of them. I've known women who were rather rough with men. Mutual teasing and playful wrestling are acceptable when both parties agree. However, constant nagging and unwanted "jerking around" are not.

People go to many lengths in order to protect their egos. In a relationship between mature men and women the other person's ego should be more important than one's own. This is not to say that you should allow someone to belittle you. Just be aware that men tend to maintain a relationship with women who build them up instead of knocking them down. The same is true of women. His self esteem shouldn't require constant emotional grooming either. When a reasonably secure man reveals an insecurity, he's letting you know he needs a gentle boost. We don't have the time to baby him all day, but we can support him and admire him, and in return he will appreciate it. If you are a woman on an ego trip, come down from your mountain and visit us on the ground where we are on the same surface, and hopefully the same page! Take it slow, and play it safe.
