Are you struggling to find that special someone? There may be a number of reasons why the right person hasn’t yet come along, so don’t panic! By following these handy tips you should be all set for jumping right back into the dating pool.
So if you have a date coming up and you’re looking to impress, or if you have another night out planned and you’re on the prowl for that lucky lady; make sure you read through these great tips that may just make that difference you’ve been looking for!
Keep clean
This might be an obvious one, but it’s extremely important if you want to attract the woman of your dreams. Take regular showers or baths, and use nice smelling soaps.
Don’t forget to also wash your hair once a day as greasy hair is not what a woman is looking for. Also consider washing your hands regularly and keeping your nails cut short. Long nails will gross most women out and aren’t very popular.
Wear nice clothes
Making an effort when it comes to clothes is a huge must if you want to attract a woman. This doesn’t mean you have to go out and buy the most expensive shirt and wear everything that says Ralph Lauren on the label, but just make sure you wear clothes that are nicely presented, clean and free of stains and holes.
A nice shirt and pair of trousers when you go out will do the trick, or a nice suit jacket to a dinner party should attract some nice compliments. Don’t try to overdo it though, as you don’t want to stand out too much in a crowd. Try to be smart but subtle!
Finally, don’t underestimate smart, clean shoes. Although you may not think anyone is looking down at your shoes, you are very wrong. Women like to look at men’s shoes and will take note if they are looking new and clean.
Smell fantastic
This goes hand in hand with keeping yourself clean. Applying deodorant and wearing great after shave will get you noticed.
However, don’t overdo it! Spraying too much cologne is going to have the opposite effect and women won’t want to get too close. Try to keep it to a minimum and don’t overdo it with body sprays, colognes and deodorants all at the same time.
Keep it subtle and not overpowering!
Keep fit and healthy
Most girls prefer a guy who looks after himself, but you don’t have to worry about a six pack or being able to lift 300 pounds on one arm. Just try to keep fit and healthy, make an effort, and look after yourself. Do you get out of breath just walking to the shop? Then you’re clearly out of shape and need to do something about it!
Not only is this just great advice for your health, but a woman will notice a man who looks after himself and cares about his health. Keeping fit doesn’t just have to be about vanity and how big your biceps are, and not all girls are looking for that.
Taking an interest in your own health shows a woman that you are dedicated and responsible, and you might just be able to keep them safe as well as yourself.
Be adventurous and interesting
Do you sit at home all day playing on computer games? If so, you need to get out more and explore the world. This doesn’t mean you have to actually travel around the world, but consider joining a club, or socialising on the weekend.
Try to consider a hobby outside of your bedroom playing World of Warcraft all day, and get out and meet new people. Women like adventurous confident men who like to explore new things and meet new people.
Imagine being on a first date and not having much to talk about. Gets quite awkward, doesn’t it? But if you openly talk about your interests and show a lady how passionate you are about these things, then the easier the date will flow.
Be a gentlemen
Opening doors and pulling out the chair for a lady are obvious niceties, but a lot of men forget how effective they can be. Make sure you’re also very respectful and polite at all times, and not just with women but with everyone. Being rude to people in general is just not attractive, and women will avoid you like the plague.
It’s also important to be nice because you want to be, and not because you’re being forced. If you clearly make too much of an effort to be nice then you don’t come across very genuine. Women like men to be themselves, but this means you need to naturally be a nice person and respectful of everyone and everything.
Touch up on your talents
Women find talented men very attractive. So if you already play an instrument like the guitar for example, then great! Share it with the world and show off this talent.
If you can’t play an instrument, then don’t fear. There are lots and lots of other things you may have in your arsenal. You could be a great public speaker, good at sports, good at making people laugh, or a good artist. You could maybe be great at business, or a great swimmer – no matter what your talent, you need to find it and flaunt it.
Interacting with other people is also a great way of sharing you talent. For example, if you like acting then you could join a drama school or drama group. Mixing with like minded individuals that share the same talent is a great way to meet new people.
Stability
Women love a man who is stable and can hold down a job. Being responsible not only shows how dedicated to earning a living you are, but also creates a sense of security.
Even though it may seem like early days, a women may consider the future and make subconscious plans about family and settling down. Even if this may not happen for many years, it’s important to make a women feel comfortable that she’s choosing the right man, and can see a possible future on the horizon.
Be independent, but not too much
If you start dating someone and it even gets serious, try to remember that you still need a certain amount of time apart. If you’ve only been on a couple of dates, try not to push things too fast. Stay calm and relax, and let things develop naturally.
Do your own thing and let her do the same. Continue with your hobbies and make time for yourself. You will both appreciate it in the long run, and women need their freedom as much as you do.
However, don’t overdo it and completely ignore her. Some men think that by playing hard to get it will drive a woman crazy with desire. Wrong! If you don’t spend quality time together then it just won’t last, so try to find that balance.
Listen
It’s important you make the time to listen if she needs to get something off her chest. It could be a bad day at the office, or it could be something more serious. No matter what it is, make a conscious effort to be supportive and help as much as you can.
A lot of men believe that women need to talk to other women to solve their problems, but this isn’t completely true. Sure, women will always go to their friends in time of need, but if you also make yourself available then you are showing how supportive you can be.
Women like to be able to talk things through, and you need to set yourself apart from other men that ignore problems and just hope they go away.
