7 Habits of Highly Successful Dating

1) Don’t look at other women

While dating, focus your attention on your date and make her feel as if she matters the most to you compared to other women. Let’s face it, women loved to be showered with attention and pampered by her man. If not for you, who else other than her immediate family members.

2) Make her feel like a queen.

On the first date, buy her dinner to show you value her company. This will also reduce any tension between two people meeting for the first time. Make her feel special. Women find this absolutely irresistible. Build a bond of fun and excitement between you and be romantic. Subsequently you can buy her gifts when the relationship progresses but never ask or even hint sexual favors in return. Women get appalled and turned off by any suggestion of sex initially.

3) Be yourself.

Don’t exaggerate or boast your credentials, successes, etc. Make the other party feel at home so that she does not feel pressured to impress or lie to you. Sincerity is the best policy. Nobody feels more comfortable around people who are genuine and sincere.

4) Don’t ever talk about your past relationships.

Don't keep harping on them. This is a no-no and a sure turn-off. You will only project the impression that you are unable to let go and continue to give a present date a chance to get to know you better in a positive manner.

5) Treat your first date as if going for an “interview”.

You want to impress and let the other person know your qualities and characteristics for a life partner. If you are not ready to be in a commitment, let her know straight away so that you do not mislead her into false hopes. But be cautious not to boast or exaggerate stuffs that are beyond you. Your deepest communication to women is carried out by your personal style and your level of confidence. Nobody feels more at ease than being with a confident man.

6) Don’t keep splurging and live like a millionaire unless you are one yourself.

During the dating process, be careful how you handle money and spend within your own capacity. You don’t want a bank account of only 1 figure left after several dates. If you cannot afford it, go for somewhere cheaper or try less expensive alternatives. It is most undesirable if after several dates, you find that both of you are almost broke or worse, had to borrow to continue your lavish lifestyle. If your partner is in a habit of borrowing money from you, drop her or him immediately.

7) Be observant.

While dating for a while, you can conclude if this person is suitable for you for life or not. During dating, keep both eyes wide open and look for tell tale signs like a persistent borrower, in debt, etc but after marriage, keep a close eye and forgive.

The best time to date is during high school or undergraduate years as you are young with no "life baggage" but you can also date if you are single again. Marriage is meant to last for better or for worse till death do us part. But enjoy dating while you can and live life to the fullest.

Dating: You'll Attract the Right Man When You Believe You Can

What do you believe about relationships?

Your beliefs are important because they determine the relationship (or lack of relationship) you end up with.

For example, if you believe that all men cheat, you'll attract cheaters. If you believe that men resist commitment, you'll probably end up with a guy who's in no hurry to sit for an engagement photo.

If you believe you don't have what it takes to meet a guy who'll love you for the rest of your life, guess what? You're right.

Change your beliefs, and you'll change the type of men --and relationships -- you attract.

If you find yourself dating the same type of guy over and over, it is definitely going to mess with your belief system (and it's probably a result of your belief system!). You probably don't think that a guy who'll make you happy really exists. I'll bet you find yourself working too hard every time you start a relationship, or go on a date, or even to a party.

Stop.

I want you to sit down and ask yourself what you want out of your next relationship. Decide what you want in a man, instead of obsessing over how to get a man, how to please a man, and how to dress for a man.

After you determine what you want, jot it down. Then write an affirmation around it.

Here's the one that worked for me:

"I am happily married to a loyal, loving, reliable, successful, fun man."

(Because I formerly attracted guys who cheated, went hot and cold on me, didn't call or show up when they said they would, and weren't particularly fun.)

I'd really feel it, too. I brought all my senses into what it would be like to be married to a loyal, loving, reliable, successful, fun man.

What would it look like?

Feel like?

Smell like?

Taste like?

Sound like?

When I wasn't writing my affirmation, I went about my life as usual. I went to work. I hung out on Friday and Saturday nights with my friends. All the while, I kept writing (and feeling) my affirmations every day.

Then, the man I married walked into my life. The beautiful thing is, we're actually happily married. Too many couples aren't.

Would you like to be happily married someday?

You can have what you want if you know what you want, and if you believe it's possible.

Affirmations will make it possible.

Decide what you want. Think up an affirmation and write it 15-20 times every single day. Before you know it, you'll be dating better men, perhaps the one who'll bring you joy for the rest of your life.

Men Want A Classy Woman

Ladies, this one is for you. Your mother always told you “Don’t give away the farm.” Yet men have been saying, “Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?” It’s a paradox; women think they need to put out, or they’ll lose their man. Men don’t want a woman who puts out; at least not long term they don’t. Are you the type of woman who men take home to bed; or the type who men take home to meet Mom?

One man described it this way, “When I’m talking to a woman, either on-line, on the phone, or in person, who do you think is the first person to bring up sex? Almost always it’s the woman. I don’t. I can tell almost instantly if the woman is classy or cheap. I want a woman who is confident, not insecure and thinks she needs to attract me by offering up free sex. What healthy, heterosexual man doesn’t want or enjoy sex with a woman? But I don’t want someone that everyone else has enjoyed. A classy woman is intriguing, mysterious and alluring. Her appearance and the way she carries herself can be very appealing. There’s a huge difference between sexy and sleazy; and unfortunately many woman don’t know the difference.”

Ladies wise up! If you don’t understand why you keep attracting the wrong men, it’s because your standards are too low. Set the bar higher. Do not engage in innuendos or blatant conversation that is sexual in nature. Just don’t do it. You may think you are flirting; but what you are doing is sending a signal to the man that you’re easy. You may hook him for a time. You may both be filled with infatuation, but it won’t last. Men will look at you as the good time gal; not as a keeper.

What are you wearing? Low rise jeans and tummy shirts are in. They’re not in if you don’t have the body to wear that style of clothing and they’re not in if you’re trying to convince the men that you’re a classy lady. That is not to say you need to haul out the turtle neck sweaters and long skirts which cover up your ankles.

You will not be able to change your belief system overnight; your views on what men want. But what you can change almost instantly is how you dress and how you talk. Decide today that you will not openly discuss sex or make comments of a sexual nature with men. There are ways you can let someone know you’re interested without sounding like a hootchie mamma. And lastly, take inventory of your wardrobe. Leave a little to the imagination, don’t show it all.

Men want a classy woman.

Dating Tip: Getting a Commitment

A lot of women want to know how to get a man to commit.

Even though we know better, we still believe (consciously or subconsciously) that our purpose in life is to get a man to fork over a two-carat diamond and a house in the suburbs. At the dawn of 2006, this is still perceived as the pinnacle of success for women.

As a result, too many of us stay in relationships that don't make us happy. We tell ourselves that if we say the right thing, do the right thing, buy the right thing, we can get some guy to marry us and validate us in the eyes of our friends, our parents, and society.

We play games with our sexuality. We submit to unnecessary surgeries and wear clothing that make us candidates for pneumonia, all in an effort to hook a man. We have sex not because it's what we want, but because we want to keep a guy's interest. We stop having sex when he doesn't come forth with a ring because, as our mothers told us, "Why buy the cow when the milk's free?"

And, in the end, it usually doesn't work. We don't get the commitment. We wonder why, deep down inside, we are ultimately unlovable.

The reason for it is simple. We don't love ourselves. Heck, we don't even own ourselves. We dress, act, speak, and have sex to please (or manipulate) others. The fact that, at the tail end of 2005, we still use expressions like, "Why buy the cow when the milk's free," is astonishing.

You are not a cow. You are a woman. You will attract a man who will gladly, eagerly commit to you when you start believing that you have a bigger purpose in life than getting married.

This means you:

- Dress for yourself, not for someone else.

- Stop postponing doing things you want to do because you think you need a guy to do them with (or that you have to "check with" your boyfriend first).

- Stop waiting for some guy to commit to you. If he says he's not ready, do yourself a favor and back off. Stop being taken for granted. Make plans that don't include him (this will do one of two things; either he'll realize he can't live without you, or you'll realize he definitely can).

-Have sex when it's right and because you enjoy it. Don't use (or not use) your body to "get" a man.

In other words, get a life. Love yourself. Treat yourself as a treasure that has yet to be discovered.

There are plenty of tricks you can use to hook a man, but they usually involve manipulation, deceit, and the loss of yourself. And, while they usually don't work, it's worse when they do. Women who used them tend to be divorced or miserably married today.

So, make a commitment to yourself. Be true to yourself. Value yourself. You will send a signal to men that you are special, different, and worth their time and effort.

One of those men will prove to be worth your time and effort, too.

Meet Men This Weekend

What are you doing this Saturday night? If you want to meet a man, you have to leave the house. You must get out among the living. Prince Charming is not going to climb through your window to watch SNL with you.

Grab a friend and head to your nearest coffee house. Most feature live music on weekends. Hang out. If you don't have a friend, go anyway. Order a cup of coffee in a to-go cup and then stick around.

If there's a seat at an empty table, take it. As the place fills up, somebody will probably ask you if they can drag off the other chair. Smile and say, "Sure." If anyone asks what you're doing out alone, just say you popped in for a quick cup of coffee but the music was so captivating you decided to stay. Look approachable.

Pull your shoulders back. Relax your jaw. Keep your eyes on the band. The great thing about getting out by yourself is that men are more likely to be comfortable talking to you. Face it; they're human, too, and the idea of walking up to a woman surrounded by a pack of friends is intimidating.

If you find the idea of hanging out by yourself utterly appalling, take the pressure off by heading to your nearest bookstore café. Nothing weird about going to a bookstore on your own, is there? Dress attractively, and you’ll look cute and smart. Besides, that book in your hand just may prompt a fetching guy to start a conversation.

Sure, it is a bit scary to put yourself in new and uncomfortable situations, but getting out of the house is the ticket to meeting new men and getting dates.

Meeting new men is the ticket to meeting (and getting married to) a man who will make you happy for the rest of your life.

How to Seduce a Man with Your Scent

Creating a Seduction Scent

"She left her scent all over the room So even in the dark I'd see" - Snowball in El Paso (Trace Adkins)

Choose a perfume or cologne that works well for you and stick with it. Your goal is to have a scent so familiar that your man would be able to pick you out in a crowded room with his eyes closed. An added benefit is that anytime he encounters another woman wearing your scent, he'll immediately think of you.

The art of seducing anyone, anywhere, anytime. Choose your scent carefully. Maybe your favorite perfume isn't really the right one for you. T

The secret to choosing the right scent lies in understanding how your body chemistry interacts with the scented oils that are used to make perfume.

Your body chemistry has a profound affect on how a perfume smells. That's why a scent that's perfect for one woman may be a total flop for another.

Believe it or not, your diet, medications that you are taking and how dry or oily your skin is also affects the scent.

As a rule, women who have fair skin and light hair tend to have the driest skin and should wear stronger fragrances that will not be absorbed as quickly.

As the hair color and skin tone gets darker, the perfume should get progressively lighter.

Realize that your perfume is in competition with other products that you use. For best results, try to choose a brand that also offers skin and body lotion in the same fragrance, or use products with a neutral fragrance.

That way you will not confuse his senses with a collision of different scents. Choose an unscented deodorant as well as shampoo and conditioner that are lightly scented with a fragrance that does not compete with your perfume.

Perfume works best when it is used sparingly and applied to your body's pulse points including your wrists, behind your ears, in the bend of your elbow, behind your knees and on the inside of your ankles.

Always apply your perfume before getting dressed so you don't end up with perfume stains on your clothing.

Wear your perfume whenever you plan to see your man. He needs to have your scent imprinted in his mind.

How to Captivate a Man

You've gone on one or two dates with a guy, and you're crazy about him. Now how do you keep him interested? How do you keep him coming back for more?

It's easier than it sounds. You don't have to be able to speak a foreign language, live in a loft in a trendy neighborhood, drive a hybrid, or be able to bolt tequila shots without flinching. You don't even have to be particularly great looking. Or funny.

You don't have to be anything but yourself.

Sure, you may be thinking, but I'm not all that interesting. In fact, I'm actually kind of boring.

At the end of the day, who isn't?

The key to captivating a man is to cultivate and maintain interests of your own. This means:

1) You never cancel a night out with a friend to go out with him--ever. (Why don't you just tell the guy you're desperate and afraid to let him out of your sight?)

2) You continue to pursue your hobbies, your career, and your relationships with friends and family at the rate you did before you started dating.

In other words, you keep a full life.

If the guy tells you he can't see you this weekend, don't ask him why. Let him volunteer the information. If and when he does, tell him to have a good time and mean it. Chances are, he'll be intrigued enough to ask you what your plans are for the weekend. Keep your answer vague (especially if you don't already have plans). Tell him that you may go out with friends, and then go home and call one or two to line something up.

It's also quite attractive to a man when you are not available to pick up every time he calls. If the phone rings while you're in the shower, let him leave a message and wonder where you are.

I do not advise you to lie or to play games, and I do not advocate manipulation, but ask yourself:

Do you like men who follow you around, hang on your every word, and call you more often than necessary? Are you turned on by a guy who shows up after you've told him you need a night out with your friends? A guy who's afraid to let you out of his sight?

Of course not.

All of us--men and women--want a "prize" when it comes to dating and relationships. We want someone who will treat us well, but who isn't overly available. Overly available people are not interesting. People who have places to go and people to see are exciting--and a bit mysterious.

Keep a full life, and you will be interesting. You will be captivating. That man you're so crazy about will definitely come back for more!
