Tips for those that have trouble attracting a date
12/23/2010 at 1:47 AM
I'm not a spring chicken anymore.. and have been around a lot of men. Discussion among girlfriends has led me to believe that there are a lot of men (likely women too) that could use a few dating tips. For example, do's and don'ts to attract someone.
I'm a HUGE fan of the movie Hitch. I believe that each person is unique and has something to offer to the right person. However, they just need a little help, etiquette perhaps, or coaching..... to help attract that person - so they don't run away.
I'll start (let's try to be nice):
Biggest turn off for myself -
When the person is so focused on trying to get to know you that they seem to unknowingly isolate you from the rest of the group (group setting) monopolizing your time - preventing you from having fun and them usually sticking out like a sore thumb.
Often these people are not having fun but on a mission to get a date. But anyone who is there to have fun, ends up avoiding this person because they do not want to be isolated from the group - stuck talking to this one person (who is coming off as desperate).
People who have fun, show their personality, (doesn't matter if everyone likes you) and do not interview the people they are interested in - get the attention of the ladies..
No one wants to be interviewed. :-) Unless they themselves like to interview others. lol
Seeing a person's real personality and watching them interact with others is important. It's impossible to get to know someone who is putting on an act. Many people can pick up who is being a "fake" right away.
Just trying to help a few people who may wonder why they can't get a date. This is common knowledge for many people but for many it is not.
I could mention more but this is enough for now.
