Dating Tips For A Woman

The question is: In what way do you want them to perceive you when you do approach them? Do you want them to be instantly attracted to you? Or are you hoping to find a man amongst them that you will be attracted to? Or do you just want to be part of the social group and mingle as a "person" rather than a woman? How you want the men to think about you is very much part of how you approach them.

If you are hoping for some kind of physical relationship then you can pretty much approach guys anyway you want! For men, the obvious reason they allow a woman within their midst is to pursue her. They are always thinking about the physical contact rather than any other form of relationship. They aren't usually thinking long-term relationship either so keep that in mind before you make a move! If you approach a group of men and become flirty with them, you are pandering to their belief that women are only looking for fun and they want some of that!

Women who want to be "one of the boys" can often approach men casually without any problem, but they have to make the boundaries very clear from the get-go. Don't let any of the guys get away with making a pass at you. Any attempt to chat you up should be verbally slapped down. Make sure that the men know you're there to socialize and nothing more. It shouldn't be a factor in today's culture, but it helps if you look the part and don't approach this kind of situation in a micro-mini and heels because even though what you wear shouldn't send the wrong message, it is received that way by the male mind! What you also need to keep in mind is that the boundaries also apply to you - don't flirt with them unless you are comfortable with them doing the same with you, in which case you are shifting the boundaries. Be careful with this one, even if you've known the guys for quite some time - it won't take much encouragement for a man to start thinking of you as "available"!

For those who aren't as self-confident, it's okay to just observe for a while. See if there's any guy in the room that you're attracted to. Find an opening such as getting a drink the same time he does, standing beside him in a group, smile if you find him looking at you. Once you've got some initial connection, ask him about himself. Use your body language to show that you're interested in him. Smile. Lean towards him a little when you're chatting - not too close so as to invade his space, but closer than you would if you weren't attracted to him! Listen to what he's saying so you can keep the conversation going. If he answers your questions in detail, it's a sign that he's not unwelcoming your attention. On the other hand, if he gives yes/no type answers, he's showing that he's not really interested, so don't waste your time on this one.

If you've got the confidence, a woman can approach men anywhere. You don't even have to have a runway figure or a beautiful face in order to do so. All you need is poise and an air of self-assurance that men will pick up on and you'll be welcomed within their group.

There are many different viewpoints on the way to a man's heart. Men seem to think one way and women think another way. The top contenders are sex and food. Why, then are relationships so hard if a man is so simple? The answer to that is that men are not so simple.

It is quite easy for us to stereotype men. We often consider them emotionless and purely driving by primal needs. Men are not that simple. If they were then we'd all have a good one, right?

Men are just as complex as women. They are complex in a different way, though. Also each man is unique, just as each woman is unique. While it is true that there are some things all men have in common, most stereotypes just do not fit every man.

Many women mistakenly believe that food is the way to a man's heart. For some men this may be true, but in general, I hardly think a man will fall for a women simply because she can cook. No, a man's heart requires a bit more than just good food.

There are also many women who believe that the key to a man's heart is sex. While it is true that men are very sexually driven, not all men are going to be satisfied with a woman who is all about sex all of the time. Even men crave some emotional relationship.

Perhaps a more true way to a man's heart is to make him feel needed and important. This is directly related to the male ego, which is just a natural part of a man's make up. Men have always been held as the one who takes care of his family. He is the provider; he is the one everyone looks to for his wisdom and his abilities. A man naturally wants to feel like he is important to his mate. He wants to feel needed and like he is an essential part of the relationship. The male ego needs to be made to feel like he is top dog.

Men are not as simple as they may appear. Simply giving them food and sex is not going to make them happy very long. The truth is men are also blessed with short attention spans. What men really need is something to feed their ego. They love themselves and they need to know that they are loved and desired by the one they are with.

When trying to find the key to a man's heart you have to start thinking about your man or the man whose heart you want. It comes down to getting to know him and what he's like. Only then can you really find the key to his heart.

For women, the main objective in a relationship is getting the guy and keeping him. Women want the secret on how they can catch him and keep him. Women and men are so different that it seems women will never figure out what it takes to catch him and keep him. It seems like some foreign concept. Getting a man's attention and then being able to keep it is something women have been working at for centuries. Is there really a way to catch him and keep him?

The ability to catch a man and keep him is something that can be done. It is all about attitude. Men are not as superficial as they appear. They are not only interested in beer, sex, food and sports. They have emotional needs too and some of their needs are even greater than a woman's. What it takes to catch and keep a man is to know what they want and what makes them attracted to a women in the first place.

Here's a list of some of the things that a women can use to catch a man. If she's smart she will not only use these ideas to catch a man, but keep them up so she doesn't lose him.

- Use humor. Everyone appreciates humor, even men. Men respond amazingly to humor and women will find that by using it they will become very attractive to men.

- Act smart. Despite the fact that people assume men love dumb women, the opposite is really true. Men want a women who can think on her own. They do not want the hassle of having to deal with someone who is an airhead. Being ditzy may attract some men but it sure won't keep them so acting smart is always the best bet.

- Show appreciation. Men like to know they are needed. However, don't be too needy. Men don't want a women who is clingy, but they do want to know they are appreciated and that a women is grateful they are around.

- Keep an eye on the details. While men are rather understated and do not verbalize things as much as women, they do use subtle cues to let you know about them. Usually a man will have something about themselves that they are particularly proud of. If a women notices it then she has his attention.

- Show confidence. It is a known fact that confidence is one of the best traits any person can have. Men are especially attracted to women who display confidence.

These are just some of the things you can do to catch him and keep him. Just remember that you have to keep doing them or he will eventually get bored and keeping him will be difficult.

It's so easy to offer a shoulder for the guy of your dreams to cry on when his girlfriend breaks up with him, but make sure that you are offering the right kind of support or you may find that you're in the right place, at the right time, and it turns out to be the right thing for the wrong reason! Rebound girl is there to pick up the pieces of a shattered ego. She's there to proclaim to the world that jilted guy is a wronged man, that he should be treated better, that any girl who turns him away is a fool. All of this is balm to the battered male ego, and he's going to latch onto the source like a safety harness, and it all looks great from your point of view - but you have to realize that this isn't real. It's a mirage! The guy isn't with you at this time because he's attracted to you, but because you are there and you're fueling his deflated self-esteem!

It is possible that a rebound relationship can work. There are couples who are together now who started out as a jilted partner and a comforting one. These couples are more the exception to the rule than the common one however, in the majority of situations; this isn't how it works out. Rebound girl is the one who gets her heart broken when jilted guy has his ego inflated once again and goes looking for a girl he's attracted to - and the worst thing here is that jilted guy doesn't even realize that rebound girl wasn't there just to pat his shoulder and mutter the right words, she wanted the real relationship!

So if you find that guy you've lusted after/longed for is back on the dating market, and he needs a soft place to fall - by all means offer one. But be careful how you do it. You can't let him think you're after a relationship with him this soon because he's just had one bad experience and will probably be swearing off women for the rest of his life, but you can be emotionally there for him. Don't fall into the habit of being "one of his mates". Just because you're there cheerleading for him, doesn't mean you should be fading into the background. One thing you do have to your advantage is that if you're the one he's taking to lunch or going out to dinner with, there's no other girl stepping into the void! When the time comes that you feel as if he's starting to notice women again, it's time to up your game. Next time he takes you out to dinner, dress up different. Let him see you not as his friend, or his ego-coach, but as a woman. An attractive single woman who is spending time with him! If he's at all interested, you've got him where you want him - and it's not on the rebound!
