Dating is a two way affair and a woman has to be able to do her bit to make a date a success. If a date is to be a success and be the starting point of a serious relationship, women have to put in as much, if not more effort than men and also to take responsibility for their own actions; and so here are a few dating tips for women that will get you started on the right note. The first thing to remember is that everyone has baggage and letting your unhappy past dating experiences affect your mood and attitude on your current date will drive the man away – the past is not his fault. Perhaps you do not let the past affect your mood but you do talk about your exes in disparaging terms – no man wants to her that men are rotten human beings and the one you are with may begin to wonder if he will be next on your list.

Be discrete about your personal problems because men have set notions of what is romantic and what is not and if you tell them about your health issues or about the hygiene standards in your apartment building, they chance of their looking at you as someone they want to know better is remote. While being open and honest is a good thing, there is a time and place for it and the first few dates are not the time to start confessing your personal flaws and irritating character traits – there will be time enough for this as the relationship develops. Also, be careful of how much alcohol you consume – getting tipsy and prattling on is not “cute” and most men will get turned off by this. Also, if you do get drunk, not only will you not be able to recall what you did on your date (that could leave you open to all kinds of pressures) but you will not have been able to watch his behavior for things you like (or perhaps dislike).

Pauses in the conversation are natural and you do not have to force yourself to fill up every gap, use the pauses to observe his body language and look for small thing you may have missed before – and silence can be very sexy. A woman can make to first move towards getting a date, but after you ask the guy out, do not let him feel he is being chased – guys fear not being in control and that affects their image of themselves and their idea of being macho.
