Dating Tips for Men 101
Women have a need to feel
courted. That means – you make the plans, you issue the
invitation, you provide the transportation, and
you pay for the evening - except for those times when she
clearly offers to treat - then be a gracious receiver.
Cost sharing and planning
greatly diminish that "being courted" feeling
for women.
This doesn't
mean, of course, that you become an ATM machine. It is often
more comfortable for women to provide a home cooked meal,
maybe a
bottle of your favorite wine, that video you've both been
wanting to see, tickets to an event as a surprise, a special
weekend... And at times she will offer to pay for your
date
night out, not because it is expected -
because she wants to.
Being on time is important
also - it indicates that you honor and respect her and that
you have integrity.
Dating Tips for Men 102
Buy your partner a gift that she really wants,
rather than one that you want her to have.
Show that you pay so much attention to her, that you know
what book she wants to read next or what CD she wants to buy, and
present it wrapped. Buying a gift of sexy lingerie that might look great
on someone tall and slim, when your partner is short and not slim, probably means that gift will reside in the back of her
drawer - forever - and may even be resented.
Her favorite flowers from the florist trump a bunch from the
super market, and a pertinent, romantic card trumps an e-card.
Honor her
with gifts that acknowledge who she really is.
