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.
