It can be a hard, lonely world out there for a single guy these days. Even attractive, intelligent men are finding it harder and harder to meet women, thus looking for dating tips and advice wherever they can find them. Some single men would prefer to be in a long-term relationship, while others prefer casually dating around with many women. No matter which type of guy you are, here are some dating tips and advice to help you get on your way to meeting that special someone, or next date.
First of all, be a gentleman. Women love chivalry. Of all of the dating tips and advice you may receive, this one is the most important. From pulling out her chair, to opening her car door, this is one small, easy way to attract more women. Even when you are out alone, or with your buddies, you can put this tip into use. Hold the door open for that woman behind you, while walking through any door. It can be for an attractive woman behind you, or an older grandmotherly type. Your chivalrous act will not go unnoticed. Now, you may be thinking,”I am not trying to pick up old grandmothers!” Well, no, but the other women in the vicinity will already get a great first impression of you based on this small action. Trust me, women do not miss anything. Once you start chatting up the cute girl who has already seen your chivalry, you will already have one foot in the door. She will trust you more, and may give you a date, or at least a phone number.
Another important tip in meeting women is to go out to your favorite meeting spots, including bars, alone, whenever possible. While you may have a good time hanging out with your male friends, a large group of men can be intimidating to a woman. You are more apt to have women approaching you when you are alone. If you must bring a buddy along, try to keep it to one, only. Make a pact ahead of time, with this friend, that if either one of you gets approached by an attractive woman, the other makes an excuse to give the two of you time alone. This can be as easy as a quick run to the bathroom. From there, your friend should keep his distance until you give him a signal, like a text message. Also, if at a bar, keep the drinking to a minimum. No woman likes a sloppy, drunk man. Have a couple of beers or mixed drinks to loosen up a bit, but try to leave it at that. Save the shots and shooters for a boys night out.
Now, many men are shy and do not have the ability to “chat up” any woman in person, other than their mother or sister. That is okay. I also have some dating tips and advice for online dating. There is a reason online dating websites and chat rooms are so popular. That reason is that they work. Many are even free. Simply create a profile at a few of the dating websites out there, and you can meet women from the comfort and security of your own home. Put the most flattering picture of yourself you can find on your profile. Be nonchalant in your headline and description, so as to not make yourself sound desperate. Remember my first tip about being a gentleman. This can be utilized online by being polite, and not crude.
Do not use any screen name for yourself that involves the number “69″ or anything graphic sounding. Trust me, it will backfire. If you find a woman whose online profile appeals to you, shoot her a brief message. Keep it short and simple. If she likes you and your picture, she will respond. If she does not respond, move on to the next woman. Do not send a follow up message to make sure she got the first one, if she does not respond. Trust me, she did.
This will only make you look desperate, which is the number one thing you are trying to avoid. Even better, shoot out a quick message to many women on the website. You will not have your heart set on anyone in particular, so you will be less likely to get disappointed. Out of all of the women you message, at least one or two are going to respond. From there, keep it light and casual in your conversations, until you finally set up a date to meet in person. Do not let the online “chatting” process draw out to more than a few conversations. If she will not meet you in person after two weeks of chatting with you, move on. You are probably just wasting your time with a woman who is not seriously looking for someone to date in person.
