-Don’t be desperate to find a boyfriend, enjoy yourself, play it cool and when you do find your person everything will just flow naturally.

-After an hour of meeting someone you really don’t know them, so give them a second or third date to see if it starts to go.

-Keep it tight. Hair, makeup, wardrobe, and shoes that is. If you look incredible your confidence will be heightened and you will exude attraction. Work on you and make yourself a priority, don’t put things off, the time is now!

-Men will always try to impress us, but don’t assume the man will be picking up the bill. However, when they do, make him feel that you are grateful for that gesture. Offer to plan a date night for him. It’s nice to take charge and plan and pay for a night out, a concert, festival, dinner, show, night away, etc.

-Don’t be the chaser, let the man come to you and if he doesn’t then move on. In the beginning you don’t want to be the one always reaching out to him. It’s a stereotype but it’s true that the man should be showing interest, asking you out, planning the date, letting you know they want to see you again. You should also repay the favor when it’s appropriate though.

-Ask questions and listen, because that’s how connections are formed. Let yourself be seen and see the

other person by connecting on commonalities, and your similarities. Give him time to commit. It does take more time for men to commit than it does for us ladies. Avoid being pushy or you may push him away.

-Really get to know him before you get intimate, no one wants to feel used, so don’t rush it. Make sure you

are an item before taking it to the next level. Don’t assume you are exclusive. Have the conversation with him. If you want to be exclusive then you should have that talk. Put it all out there, but not too early on, as you don’t want to pressure anyone. There is no one shoe fits all approach to dating, but hopefully these tips may help you along your relationship journey.
