Dating rules

By VANESSA E CHAMBERS 

IT’S sad enough that the dating pool seems so small for all the eligible women out there, but when there are issues with the few fish in the pond it makes choosing a mate that much harder.

When a man has no conversation skills, is too pushy, has stalker tendencies, or shows signs of being a potential abuser, what’s a woman to do?

Guys, note that today’s woman wants you to:

•Get to know her by asking questions that will give you a better understanding of who she is and the things that she would enjoy doing. This way you will be able to plan a nice date together doing things she would like.

•Don’t ask personal questions. No matter how attractive she might be, the average woman isn’t going to want to be asked her bra size. If you were to ask her that she will immediately put you in the bin like all the other horny toads she has met.

•Don’t dwell on her past relationships. Your interest should be in her and not the reason why her last relationship ended. How she acted in her past relationship (with a man who didn’t appreciate her) might be completely different from how she might act around you (a man who she thinks will treat her like a queen).

•Take her out. It doesn’t have to be expensive, you can both have fun while working within a budget.

•Don’t expect her to have sex with you because you took her out a few times. A woman wants to go out and have a good time without feeling like you have expectations. The more she thinks you’re only interested in sex, the quicker she will say bye.

•If she likes you, allow her to invite you to her place. Don’t be pushy and invite yourself to her place or call her when she is least expecting it, telling her that you are at her gate.

•Stop asking her constantly if she is really single and don’t have her feeling as if you don’t trust her. You have her attention on your date, use it wisely or the next time you call her you might hear that “the number you’re calling is unavailable”.

•Desperation is a suit that you should never wear. Stop getting all pitiful when she is unable to see you. Man up, she has a life and you should go and have one of your own as well. Stop calling her every minute to find out if she changed her mind.

•If she has children, respect the fact that her children will always come first. So if she is unable to go out because she wants to spend the time at home with them, just deal with it and give her her family time.

•Be real. This might be hard for most selfish men to do, but don’t tell her she is the only one you are dating when you know you are dating the entire Kingston & St Andrew. You are both just dating, it’s not that serious. But if you start lying to her at the beginning, then she isn’t going to trust you and will think this is the start of many more lies to come.
