How To Avoid Being Annoying On a Date

These are just a couple pointers that you can follow so you don't end up annoying the hell out of somebody.

The list below describes some very annoying things that people do and often don't even realize they're doing it. read through the list to make sure you are not part of the problem.

  • Watch how long you control the conversation. It can quickly turn frustrating when you won't stop talking

  • For The Fellas: Be careful how often you are gazing at any of her "features" rather than keeping eye contact

  • Learn to control any nervous ticks immediately. Examples of this would be: foot tapping, pen clicking, funny style breathing, rocking/ swaying back & forth, etc...

  • Constantly laughing over what's NOT funny. Sooner or later you will come across as annoying when you do that.

  • Stop playin around on your "nobody cares" phone! No no no, I mean really... stop it! It's not cute, it's not making you cool, and it makes for a horrible conversation topic.

  • Everyone has problems of their own so no need to overload anyone with any of your hang ups.

3 Ideal Dating Strategies

Whats up fellas! Once again, coming at you live and direct with dating advise that YOU need to know! I've gone ahead and put together a few attitudes (I've used the word attitude over strategy because these are things that you'll have to embody rather than just apply at will) that I think will be very helpful for those of you reading this expecting to get some advise that you can actually translate to the real world.
So without further ado, let's get into this.

  • A good attitude to take on while on a date is to appear relaxed yet interested. In other words you're not over anxious over the next words out her mouth, you sit back instead of lean forward, you even continue a side rhythm (ex: continue eating; continue quickly searching through phone; pretty much any non-heavily-focused activity), all the while you are able to summarize what she just told you and say it back to her in the form of a question ("so what you're saying is...?"). This will definitely give you a comfortable aura.

  • If you are not yet at the level where you can initiate humor on Q then play of her own words while she talks with you. This is to be done occasionally as it will quickly make you look like a lame adult boy who is more annoying than funny. However, when done at the right moments you can interject with a quick whip of humor to turn the conversation in your own direction. Also, catching her off guard with her words can go beyond humor if your skilled at spotting a double entrendes!

  • Learn to have NO fear of physical touch. As to what degree of "touch" you give yourself permission depends a lot on how you two vibe with each other. One thing is certain though, if you can show that you are fluid with your body movements and physical control of yourself (NOT making any movements out of nervousness) then you will display to her that you possess great poise, which she'll instantly pick up since many men are lacking that.

Three Common Relationship Mistakes to Avoid

Author: Aaron Adams



You've been going out with a great guy and spending time with him is always a treat. Many dates after, you begin to sense that it's the right time for the relationship to go to the next level. The problem is knowing how to start the conversation. Every time you try to open up, the reaction's always the same. He starts to fidget and you can sense he's uncomfortable. Before you know it, he drifts farther and farther away.


The more you worry about it the more he thinks that you're changing. He thinks that maybe you're not interested in him anymore because you seem to be distant and always thinking about something else. Then he holds back and when he does, you think that maybe he's not interested in you anymore. You start questioning him over the little things he does. His calls are not as frequent as before and he visits you less often. He thinks you're worried over nothing so he'll step away from the relationship thinking that that's the best solution.

To avoid that familiar scene, here's a few tips to help you avoid committing the usual relationship mistakes.

Mistake #1: Not knowing how his mind works. It's easy for women to assume that they're in an exclusive relationship after a few dates. He, on the other hand, thinks that he's just having a grand time with a wonderful woman.

You need to know how his mind works to clearly communicate with him what you expect in the relationship and how you want those expectations met. He doesn't want someone who is needy and clingy. A woman who can't survive on her own isn't someone he'd want to be with for a long time.

Mistake #2: Making the "big mistake." Thinking about your needs, but never about his own, is the big mistake. Although meeting our needs first is our basic nature, this won't work in a relationship. You have to take the limelight away from you momentarily and focus on what his needs are. Do this and you're sure to benefit from it in the future.

Learn to understand your boyfriend's dreams and desires; know what frustrates and discourages him. Patiently deal with his shortcomings and before you know it, you're on your way to enjoying the relationship that you've been wanting. But don't give him everything to the point that you'll be trampled on. Learn the delicate balance of giving.

Mistake #3: Talk, but also listen. It's very easy to commit the big mistake, so learn how not to. Men are generally not born conversationalists. Taking part in a conversation about relationships and serious emotions isn't their cup of tea. So it's up to you to know what works in keeping the lines of communication open.

The best solution to keep your man interested in a long term relationship with you is to know what their strengths are and knowing how to magnify those. Who wants to be always reminded of their failures, right? Make him feel that he's on top of your priority list and you'll be pleasantly surprised how he'll love you even more.

Finding Fulfilling Relationships

Author: Aaron Adams


What's the use of being in a relationship when you don't find satisfaction and fulfillment in it? The fire of the romance is always strong in the beginning, but as time goes by, that roaring fire turns into ashes. The sad reality is that a lot of women go through the motions of having a relationship but never finding fulfillment in the end.

If you think that you belong to the statistics, then there could only be two reasons - you're not doing the right thing and that pushes him away, or he's unavailable emotionally. Worse, it could be both.

Are you even aware that you could be doing something wrong? Smart women commit these mistakes without really knowing that they are.

Giving him everything he wants is one mistake that should be avoided. If he says that he wants to see you and you automatically say yes, or if he wants to go to bed with you in the early stages of the relationship and you say yes, then you are telling him that you are easy and not worth pursuing.

Women think that giving in all time will make him stay. On the contrary - he would think that you are predictable and boring. When you get boring and bland, he would look someplace else to find that spice that he wants in the relationship. Imagine watching the same scene in your favorite movie over and over again. You'll eventually get tired and want to watch something else, even if it is your favorite movie, right?

The other reason is his emotional unavailability. Men who are like this are interested in casual dating and playing the game, but aren't interested in going for a longer and more stable relationship. Emotionally unavailable men head for the nearest exit when the talk about commitment and marriage comes.

So if you want to find a fulfilling relationship, don't be the easy-to-get woman and steer clear from men who are emotionally unavailable. Could there be a possibility of turning an emotionally unavailable man to someone who is? It's easy when you know how.

The first answer lies in you. Identify the things that you do that push him farther away. Do you complain too much and nag him to submission? Or do you try to convince him to love you, or that he's better off with you? If you are, STOP. You can't change your boyfriend directly, and telling him to change will just hasten the process of him leaving you.

Instead, like who you are and be sure of yourself. Women tend to nag when they feel insecure or unsure of themselves. The verbal manifestation of insecurities is nagging. Nobody is perfect, and your boyfriend knows you aren't, so accept your insecurities and work on improving your weak points. Who wouldn't fall in love with someone who can honestly admit their shortcomings and be brave enough to try to change them?

Lastly, play hard to get. Men are attracted to smart, level-headed and interesting women. He is drawn to a woman who can tickle him pink and would keep them on their toes because of her unpredictability. Arouse his curiosity of what you can offer and he keep him guessing every time. He will love you more and definitely want to stay in a relationship with you.
