5 Key Mistakes Men Make When Dating

Dating can be fun or it can a nightmare. One never knows if the date they're on will lead to marriage or a restraining order, but still we play the game. Dinners, movies, flowers, drinks. None of this will make a difference if men commit any of the key mistakes below. Better than mistakes, they're deal breakers.

Women know when men aren't being themselves.
Women know when men aren't confident (even though we don't mention it).

We don't mention it because we also know your egos have the strength of rice paper.

But we still love you! So just be yourself and be confident! You know, the way you are with your guy friends.

Just don't talk about football.

Or pick your nose.

1) You Don't Have A Plan

Women are attracted to men with vision. They like a man who can be assertive and knows how to handle his business. The man that shows he is capable of taking the lead in a situation will be able to grab a woman's attention. So when she asks "so where are you taking me?" Answering her with "uugghh I don't know, where do you want to go?" in most cases is already starting off on the wrong foot. Have a plan in place... but just remain flexible if it doesn't work for her. You also should be able to show you have a plan for your life. You don't have to present some 10 year vision, but be able to express some short term goals and aspirations. Don't come off looking like a boy that is lost or you may constantly find yourself as a man that's alone.


2) You Aren't Confident

Maybe you're nervous around your date. Maybe you fear she won't enjoy herself or that you will do something to blow your chances. Either way, going into dating thinking like this makes it more likely things won't go well. Women are drawn to confidence and focusing on the negative will hinder your positive energy from shining through. So shake it off and get your mind on the right track. Be confident but don't be arrogant. Focus on having a great time and there is a much better chance she will as well.


3) You're Not Being Yourself

Sometimes we want to impress a woman so much that we end up trying to be someone we're not. Getting her under the guise of your "representative" may create immediate results, but you will pay a price in the long run. Not to mention it can all backfire that same day because you come off as phony and trying too hard. So just be yourself. She needs to like you as the man you are. A man who can acknowledge and embrace the areas that could use improvement in his life. If the current man you are isn't "enough" for most, then take some more time to focus on your growth. That will yield much better results than trying to be someone else in the meantime.

4) You Talk About Sex Too Much

If you truly want to have a relationship then you have to stop always making the conversation so sexual. You don't want to make it seem like you're only interested in one thing or that you're unable to hold a good conversation. It isn't that this topic should be off limits altogether, but don't always be the one to set it in that direction. This is the time to go deeper than the physical and see if you two really do connect and enjoy each other. I would even encourage you to avoid having sex too quickly with her. I understand that this sounds ridiculous to some, but hear me out. If she's good sexually, then a man's judgment can become very clouded. You may find yourself holding on to her for the wrong reasons which will eventually lead to a failed relationship. Focus on substance, not sex.

5) You Don't Ask About Her Enough (yes HER, remember HER?)

Don't go into dating as if it is an audition. Approach it more like it is an interview. You should be trying to get to know this woman and determine if she truly is someone you want to move forward with. You can't accomplish that if you are too busy talking about you, you, and you some more. How many times does she really need to hear about that business deal you're doing, or how you stay in the gym cause you're so buff, or whatever else you think is going to impress her. Making it all about you will run the risk of quickly turning her off. Make a conscious effort to ask about how she is doing. Give her an opportunity to share her thoughts and dreams. If you ever find yourself rambling on for too long then stop yourself and say "well enough about me, tell me more about you". Be willing to talk and share things about yourself but you shouldn't let it dominate the dating process.
