Five Cardinal Dating Crimes

 

It’s Friday night and you are getting all primped and pretty for your hot date tonight. You can hardly believe he asked you out, and you are out of your mind with excitement! You’ve got your pre-date prep down to a science, and you are in it to win it, but there are five cardinal dating crimes should avoid that could send your date running for the hills before you even get a shot at the prize.

 

The Ex-Factor

Ok, we get it, we all have a past and most of us have a painful saga or two that has shaped the person we’ve become. Even your new boyfriend has a few of those under his belt, I’m sure. However, early on in any relationship is not the time to be reopening old (or fresh) wounds to show your date your scars or festering sores. Nothing will turn a guy off faster than a woman who continuously waxes septic about her ex-boyfriend.

Instead, try focusing on getting to know your current beau better, there’s plenty of time for history later.

It’s All about Me

We all love the spotlight, and when we’re nervous, there is nothing easier to do than to talk incessantly about ourselves. It’s an easy trap to fall into, especially when dating someone new. How about trying a new tactic; think about what you were going to tell him about yourself, and instead, turn around and ask him a question relating to what you were going to say. For instance, if you’ve had a horrible day at work, perhaps ask him about the worst day at work he’s ever had. Chances are you’ll both start laughing over it, and you will have learned something new!

It Ain’t Easy Being Sleazy

There is a difference between sexy, and sleazy. Learn it, live it, love it. A hint of skin is fine; a bare shoulder or a little bit of cleavage, even a glimpse of thigh. But all at once; that my friend is a little bit much. Pick one, and go with it and keep him wondering. Dressing sleazy leads a man to think about one thing, and one thing only. Keep your self-esteem and dignity intact, dating attire is one arena where less is not more.

TMI

Let’s get one thing straight, men do not want to know about your PMS, the hangnail on your left big toe, or the fact that eating broccoli gives you gas; at least not yet. Give them a chance to get to know you, before you go shattering their illusion.

Damsel in Distress

These days, men are genetically programmed to flee, it’s like it’s in their DNA. No man and I mean NO man wants to date a victim. Talk about pressure! Most men envision themselves with a strong, independent woman; someone who can take care of themselves and does not rely on their man for every little thing.

Sure it’s nice to make him feel like a big, strong man sometimes; just don’t lose your independent self in the process.
