Dating without flirting is no fun. It keeps you excited, involved and active all the time you flirt with someone.

• Stroking or toying your hair is another recommended thing to do.

Therefore avoid debatable topics and talk more about each other’s interests, likings, hobbies and what are they doing on the coming weekend? If you are meeting up in a restaurant avoid alcohol if it’s your first date. Also ensure that you drop her till the most convenient point. This makes her think that you have a sense of belonging and she might stay safe while she is with you. Last but not the least; try to avoid talking about sex while flirting or on your first date. This will highlight that you are too impatient and have only one thing on mind.

Follow these three steps and you have a better chance of creating a wonderful impression that lingers long after the lights are out for the day.

Here are some extremely romantic ideas that will have her crying good tears this Valentine’s Day:

Give her a dozen roses. Now, the dozen roses part is not the part that is going to make her cry, it’s what you do to the roses that will. Tie a small card on to the stem of each rose and in each card, write one thing that makes you love her. Once she reads the cards she will need to go fix her makeup right away!

For a fun, special and creative gift idea, try this; Buy her a few gifts that go along with a few of your moments in history. For example, if she lost an earring on your first date, then buy her a set of earrings. Write a short note reminding her of that date and put it in with the gift. Then hide all the gifts. Give her a paper with clues on it. The clues will also go with your history. For example, “This gift is hidden near the first place we kissed in this house”. She will find the gift and in the gift will be a little note reminding her of that one memory. This will bring up a lot of cherished memories from your history together and will be a nice game that the two of you will enjoy.

If you really want to bring tears to her eyes, then make a memory book from your point of view. Purchase a beautiful journal and write in it explaining your feelings for her from day one. You will want to write about all the memorable events in your relationship and how you felt toward her. You will also want to write down some small events that she more than likely won’t even remember. This will really touch her that you could remember something so small, and remember how you felt toward her at that moment. This is a gift that she will treasure forever.

Buy her gifts that go with things you love about her. For example; if you love the color of her eyes, buy her a piece of jewelry that has a stone the same color as her eyes. Attach a note that reads something like, “I hope you love this beautiful Emerald as much as I love your beautiful emerald eyes”.

An e-book has offered you advice on how to be attractive to women and keep them interested. Quite likely, you fell for the USP claimed by the book and sent out for it hastily with your credit card. You have skimmed the book, looked for the shortcuts and the suggestions given in the book and hastened to put them into practice. Did you fall flat on your face?

If you used the words “you must have fallen out of the sky” and “yo-baby” to start a conversation with a woman, be careful if you receive a good response to it. The woman you tried it on probably has already marked you out for an easy conquest. Women of substance who are more than casual about their relationships expect something deeper than a lazy flirtation or a one-night stand.

Simplicity works

Approach a woman with sensitivity. Put yourself in her shoes and think how your attempt at chatting her up will sound to her. Using lines you have learned from an e-book may sound fine to you, but will probably sound horribly contrived and artificial to the woman. Instead, approach her with respect, and introduce yourself. If she does accept the introduction and responds positively with her own, maybe you can take it a step further. Suggest to her that you would like to look at her as a friend and explore whether the relationship could grow. You may find this approach receiving a positive response more often than not, and their surprise at being addressed so respectfully may actually allow them to conduct a friendly conversation with you. This may sound old fashioned, and remind you of the old time movies of Humphrey Bogart or Clark Gable, but it will emphasize that in your book a relationship is more important than just sex.

The immediacy portrayed on the media is more of a result of their wanting to grip the viewer, with the idea that all relationships start and go forward only because of sex. Is chivalry and old fashioned romance, no more important in the story of a man and woman?

Being courteous to women is somehow considered old fashioned. Do not be surprised if your gesture of opening the door or offering your coat to your girl is viewed askance by her. They have got so used to casual treatment by their male escorts, that this sort of behavior may initially surprise them.

On a first date, do not give the woman a bunch of red roses. These indicate a far deeper relationship and romance, something she may not even be considering till she gets to know you better. Leave this gesture for later when you have really found her to your liking and intend to pursue a long term relationship with her. She may consider that you are just trying to seduce her and lead her to your bedroom, and may actually cut short your friendship. If you feel that some flowers are a must, give her a bunch of white roses. White roses are less aggressive and indicate that you look on her as friend and would like to know her better. Such consideration on your part will send out the correct signal to the woman and get her also to thinking of building a foundation for a long and strong relationship in the days, weeks and months to come. Women may not be hard to get for a normal person, but finding yourself a woman who will just not fall for the first guy who approaches her is much less common.

Getting yourself a woman as a friend is not as difficult as you may feel. It is we men who makes it hard for the woman by not treating her with respect and rarely listen to what she says or wants.

So, you finally got enough nerve to ask that hot girl in your office out. And she said yes. Now the question is how are you going to not only survive the first date, but also guarantee a second one.

Remember the hardest part is over; you asked her out and she said yes, which means she likes you. It isn’t the time to worry about what you are going to wear because unless you go naked or in your clown costume, her opinion of you is probably not going to change. You do not need to worry about where you are going, unless you planned to take her to see mud wrestling, her opinion of you will not be damaged. However, your conversation on your date can and will guarantee or screw up any chances for a second one.

Therefore, when you are planning your date conversation remember these top ten things not to say on your date:

1. Do you mind getting the bill I’m broke. (OK everyone is broke right now. But date rules state if you asked her out you pay. Asking her to pay is a total turn off and will most likely squash your chances of ever seeing her again).

2. My ex and I use to come here all the time. (This can open up a can of worms that you are not ready for. Your date does not need to know or want to know about your ex. And if you’re not careful, she may start wondering what is wrong with you).

3. Your eyes are the same color as my ex’s. (This is obvious!! Nobody wants to be compared to someone else).

4. Have you ever thought about dying your hair red, I love redheads? (Remember you asked her out because you think she is already hot. If you really want to start improving her, you better watch out because she can find four things wrong with you for every one you find wrong with her).

5. So I am glad you are not as crazy as the last girl I went on a date with. (Your date is immediately going to wonder how many dates you have been on and you risk looking as a player).

6. I see myself married with children with in a year, how about you? (This is a guarantee way to never see her again. Granted, she may be looking to marry, but being aggressive will scare off the majority, and leave you with the Alex Forrest/Fatal Attraction type).

7. So I just got out of rehab/jail. (We all have issues, but a first date is not the place to introduce your date to your personal problems. Remember you want a second date that will not happen when she thinks you’re a crazy addict or axe murder).

8. Do you think that waitress is out of my league? (Do you even have to ask?)

9. Can I take your picture? (Your date may be flattered, but most likely she will be creeped out. She will see you as one of those psychos/serial killers on TV with the wall collage of all their victims).

10. I had testicular cancer and had to have my right testicle removed (This was actually said on a first date. And the woman couldn’t even finish her dinner. All she kept thinking about was why would he tell me this. Is he warning because he thinks I am going to see them or the one tonight?)
