Most women are born flirts. Maybe they are even born into this world knowing how to flirt. I’ve never seen volumes of material trying to instruct women in the art of flirting.
It would be about as useful as instructions on how to breathe. Men, on the other hand, must learn how to flirt and even recognize when a woman is flirting with them so they can return the favor. Here are some certain signs that a woman is flirting with you:
• She Keeps Glancing at You
If every time you glance her way, she is glancing your way, it’s a pretty good indication she is flirting with you but if she drops her glance it could mean that she is interested but shy. Get up, walk over to her, introduce yourself and start a conversation.
If her glance includes a smile then that is an open invitation for you to make the first move. If she goes out of her way to get you to notice her, that my friend, is flirting!
If, on her way from point A to point B, she takes an unnecessary detour through point C (you), she might be trying to get your attention. For instance, if she walks by your table “on her way” to the washroom in a coffee shop, but your table is located at the opposite end of the restrooms, she is probably interested. Why else would she be taking the long way? If she smiles at you on her way, consider your job half done.

Self-supporting, independent, successful women sometimes deeply resent the idea of not paying their own way. Men have been known to slip the waiter an extra tip to see to it that the check is delivered to their side of the table at the strategic moment that a woman is preparing to pay for it.
Is it because he wants to appear masculine and “in charge”, or is it because he would be embarrassed to have a woman pay for his dinner, or because he really likes the woman and wants to pay? Women…even the self-supporting, independent, successful ones, have trouble determining the man’s motive.

Back in mom and dad’s day that was an easy question to answer. The man always did all the asking and always paid for everything. That was a long time ago and things have changed a lot. Back in the old days women rarely worked and if they did, it was at very low paying jobs.
They never made anywhere near what a man made for doing the same job so it was fair that the man paid all of the expenses for a date. Since then women have gained a lot of traction in the work force and make salaries more comparable to the salaries that men make now. So the question of who should pay for what is a fair one.

OK, think about this: why do you like your guy friends? Why are your best friends, your best friends? Simply because you enjoy each others company, right? They make you laugh, they intrigue you, they stimulate your mind, or they fascinate you. Whatever it is that they do for you, when you are together, you get feelings of pleasure. Otherwise, why else would they be great friends?
The exact same principle applies to a date. You want your date to have fun and you want to have fun with them. You want to ensure that the conversation is interesting and stimulating to both of you.
First let’s define conversation. Conversation actually comes in two forms. There is, of course, the spoken word but there is also body language.
Body language always speaks first in any conversation. When you are confident your body relaxes, becomes more open, you lean in, you smile, and you become more animated.

That is an age-old question. Cave men had it made. They firmly believed in kidnapping and taking their date to a filthy cave out in the middle of nowhere. Those were what were known as the good old days. Now days first date destinations and plans are a little trickier.
But firstly, let’s cover where NOT to go on a first date!

Women come short and tall, thin and not-so-thin, brunette, redheaded, and blonde. None of those attributes will tell you whether she is honest, loyal, funny or fun to be with. None of them will tell you whether you really want to date her or just be seen with her in hopes of propping up your make ego.
Remember this, friend; the object of dating is not dating. The object of dating is to be with a woman long enough and in enough different situations to find out how much you like her or, maybe, love her. By dating you find out whether a woman is potentially the mother of mom and dad’s grandchildren and a person that you want to share your life with. Dating should be seen as a journey to a desired destination…not an unending road trip.

I often wonder why men always want to date the prettiest but dumbest girl in a room. Can you explain that one to me? Mostly women don’t want to date the most handsome but dumbest guys, although, I must admit, some do. They go for the big, handsome DUMB jock types.
It’s the old “head cheerleader dating the star football player” thing like it was in high school. But grown women are more interested in what a guy is in his heart rather than what he looks like on the outside.
Don’t be one of those guys who only see what a potential date looks like physically. It is a lot more important that she be interesting, funny and that she shares your interests. Women are people who have interests and lives that existed before you met them. You should use dating as a vehicle to learn as much about them as you can.

Meeting women that you would actually want to date and, maybe eventually, bring home to meet mom and dad, isn’t as hard as it sounds. There is, of course, the singles scene out in the bars and clubs all over town but I don’t recommend that one. It’s not that just bad girls go to bars; it’s that it is hard to tell the good ones from the bad one.
Here are some places you will consider offering your thoughts to:
