Guys: What NOT to Do to Impress a Woman

 By Nina Atwood

If you want to stand out in the dating scene guys, a good place to start is to pay attention to your first date behavior. The following are things NOT to do if you want to impress a woman. These examples come from real dating stories, believe it or not. If you want to impress a woman, don’t:

  • Show up on first dates in blue jeans
  • Ask her if you can wipe your wet hands (from your drink glass) on her skirt
  • After you meet via dating service, wait two weeks to call and ask for a date
  • Wait until Thursday or Friday to ask for a Saturday night date
  • Talk about your solitary life (on your boat, out in the country, your routines with buddies, etc.) and the fact that most women don’t like your lifestyle
  • Tell jokes that put anyone else down, especially women
  • Make comments about how you don’t have time for a relationship
  • Arrive late
  • Take cell phone calls during the date
  • Notice other attractive women walking by
  • Take food home in a doggie bag
  • Tie balloons on her chair
  • Talk about yourself more than you ask about her
  • Talk about bad dates you’ve had with women you met via dating service or on the internet or any other way
  • Tell her you’re a guy who likes women tall/short, blonde/brunette, fat/thin, old/young, or any other descriptors
  • List all the things you’re expecting a woman to do to make you happy

What’s the theme of this list? In a nutshell, it’s self-centeredness and lack of insight about what women want. You may say, “What about what men want?” The answer is simple: A good guy wants a special woman with a good heart and common values. When he finds her, if he’s smart, he sets a goal to encircle her in love. She thrives, gives tons of love and care back to him, he wins! That’s how it works.

If you want to stand out in the dating scene, guys, don’t be the narcissistic guy who’s thinking about himself. Be the good guy who’s looking to marry up. Focus on women’s needs, spend your time with women who are self-caring with good values and you’ll win at the game of love.
