Any man who has been out on a date thinks he is an expert on dating and many of them have written books advising others how to be a success in dating.  Some of these books may have information of value (many do not) but before trying them out, knowledge of a few basic tips will allow you to know what makes sense and what does not.  The first of the important dating tips for men is that each woman is different and while there may be some common characteristics, generalizing about women is a big mistake.  All the  Women Are From Venus‚Äù theories are fine, but they are only guidelines, not a Bible to be followed blindly.

Equality does not mean that good manners have gone down the drain  women like to be treated with consideration and good manners; treat your date with respect and you will receive the same.  Any date has to be a 50:50 affair if it is to work out  let her talk about herself as much as you talk about yourself.  Show interest in what interests her  while having compatible tastes is great, do not expect everything that interests her to interest you; if that is what you expect, you’ll be better off dating a clone of yourself.  Never pretend to be knowledgeable about her interests in the hope of impressing her  she will spot the fraud soon enough and that will cast a question mark about the kind of man you really are.

Fighting traffic can be difficult but if you are late for a date, she will think that it is because she is not important to you and if that happens, you will stop being important to her.  Take her flowers  that old fashioned gesture still has value and is a way of showing her that you are interested.  Humor is very important to most women so go out of your way to make her smile and laugh but if you don’t know her well, be careful of saying things that may offend her.  Do not bore her with talk about your job  tell her what you do and leave it at that.  If she asks you for details of what you do for a living, reply to what she asks but do not go overboard  she may just be trying to be polite and overdoing the job talk could bore her.

It’s easy to make mistakes on a date but one of the most important dating tips for men that can help you to recover from them is to always treat her like a person and not an object you are lusting after.
