Women are difficult creatures to understand, I know. They say one thing and show another, they leave mens heads spinning and in a daze. However, there are some pretty common things that most women look for in a man. These are the things they feel are most important and many men don’t realize. So many men end up messing up their relationships or chance at a relationship over these small details and  lack of confidence. Below is a list of 5 things women said they look for in a man and most men lacked or messed up.

Top 5 Mistakes Men Make With Women

1. Not Being Confident With Yourself – Confidence is the number one thing women look for.
2. Overly Seeking A Woman’s Approval – Be happy and confident with yourself. Don’t seek the approval of others.
3. Opening Up Too Soon – This takes away from your mystery and the enjoyment of getting to know you.
4. Not Understanding What A Woman Is Really Looking For – Get to know her and see what she is looking for. Not all women want the same thing or get turned on by the same things.
5. Allowing The Woman To Wear The Pants In The Relationship – No matter how controlling a woman is she wants a man who can take control and give her a break.

Example a man sees a women is a control freak. So to try and please her he’ll step back and give her the control he thinks she wants. NO! This is not what she wants. A women wants to feel like a woman, she wants a man to be able to put her in her place and take control from time to time. She wants to be able to rest knowing that he is able to handle things.

What Most Women Find Appealing In A Man

• Men who are confident with who they are.
• Men that don’t care about what people think about them.
• Men that don’t seek the approval of others.
• Men that are mysterious.
• Men that are challenging.

It has been said that social networking sites such as Facebook and MySpace have become big contenders in the online adult dating world. It makes sense because they are free and you can easily search through your friends list of their friends. It always seems that everyone is connected somehow and that makes it that much easier to find potential dates. Plus, many people are on there for a popularity contest so you can send a request just about to anyone and you will be easily accepted. Social Networks such as Facebook has allowed many of your personal information become so public. Be careful who you choose to gained access to your profile. Here is a list of some don’ts and dos of dating on social networks.

Social Networking Mistakes Daters Often Make:

1. Don’t Accept/Send Friend Requests Too Soon: Let’s say that you went on a date with someone, but you are unsure if you want to continue seeing this person. All the sudden once you get home you notice that you have already received a friend request from your date. This is a bit creepy and kind of stalkerish; you don’t have to accept the friend request right away. Think about if you really want to allow this person, whom you are still on the fence about, seeing all of your personal information. If you do like the person and you accept the request, remember that they may or may not go through all of your posts and pictures (both you put up and others tagged you in). Maybe there is something there that you don’t want them to see.

2. Do Think About What You Post: This pertains to some of the information on the first mistake. You need to think clearly of what you decide to upload, comment, and post onto your wall. There is an image you want people to view you as, especially your date or the person you are crushing on. Don’t let them see a side of you that you might soon regret.

3. Don’t Be A Social Network Stalker: Everyone has a curious DNA and when we are allowed to semi snoop through a potential lover’s profile we take advantage of that. But don’t become a stalker and then mention something you saw on their profile (that took some digging to find) during a conversation. Also don’t take to heart something that you might see that will may you uncomfortable; such as a picture that unfortunately is still up of his/hers ex. Maybe they completely forgot it was still posted.

4. Using the Relationship Status Often: If you and an ex broke up, then by all means change your relationship statues. But, and this is a big but, if you are one of those couples who every other week break up and then get back together then for the sake of continued embarrassment that you have laid upon yourself just leave your status alone. Also changing your status on your profile will welcome lots of people asking “What happened,” so prepare yourself for those pesky questions.

5. Do Delete The Person If Things End Badly: If your relationship ended badly or you had a really bad date; it might be best that you delete that person quickly. This reason being is that they might say something rude on your wall or photos, and allowing an ex to see your everyday activities isn’t a good idea. He might show up wherever you are at and start drama.

Making yourself approachable is the first key to meeting new people and hopefully finding that special someone. It doesn’t matter whether you are looking for love or a fling, you still need to make yourself approachable. By learning these simple keys to master the art of being approachable, it will not only assist you in your love life but in life in general. You’ll need to use these tips in both your professional and personal life whether your at a business function or social gathering. Make sure to take mental notes and apply allow these tips to making yourself more approachable on a daily basis. The more you practice these tips the easier and more natural it will all become.

How To Make Yourself Approachable:

Wear warm and bright colored clothing so you look warm and inviting rather then dull and washed out. Also,  avoid wearing all back so you don’t end up looking too serious.

Smell tempting and inviting. Use fruity or floral scented hair products and body lotions and don’t forget to wear a perfume that is soft and pleasant and won’t be too overbearing. Remember you want them to enjoy standing next to you and getting close to you, so be careful not to over do it.

Now that you look and smell good comes the even more important factors to making yourself approachable.

BODY LANGUAGE ! I can not stress to you enough, the importance of sending off open and inviting body language. No matter how beautiful you may be, if you are sending off the wrong signals, no one will feel comfortable approaching you.

Avoid crossing your arms instead allow them to lay gracefully by your sides or lay them softly on your lay. By crossing your arms you look angry and uninterested. This will case a person away or make them uncomfortable speaking with you. It’s like building a wall up around yourself.

Position your body in the direction of the one(s) you are trying to attract this will make you more noticeable and easier to approach. Make sure to position yourself in a location that makes you easy to access. Don’t wonder to far away from the one(s) you have your eyes on.

Keep a warm and inviting smile on your face and engage in eye contact. Your eyes are not only your way to see the world but they are also the way that people look into who you are. Avoid burying your head in a book or in your phone. Rather then just looking at the ceiling and or floor take a good look around at the people who surround you. Don’t forget to engage in eye contact with those you want to draw in and give them a friendly smile to make it more encouraging for them to want and approach you.

There are tons of situations and facts that are involved when you are searching for the perfect relationship on online dating sites. Learning how to deal with each one is what takes practice. There are some myths that are completely untrue when it comes to dating online. Figuring out which ones could be tricky and can easily get you confused. I have developed a short list containing some myths that I have found to be untrue.

5 Online Dating Myths:

Myth #1: You Can’t Sense Chemistry Online

This is completely untrue, if you get a gut feeling just by looking at the person’s profile that contains photos as well as their description; that’s chemistry. It might not be the same chemistry that most experience at a dinner date, but it is still chemistry. It is a proven fact that people who have similar interests are automatically drawn to each other. Of course, opposites do attract as well.

Myth #2: Winking, Flirts, etc Features Don’t Work

This myth is mainly for women. Some dating sites have a cute feature such as sending winks, flirts, or kisses to other members of the site. I have witness many women that take those advances from a man to be perverted, disgusting, or impersonal. That is not the intention of those men, they are simply trying to break the ice and do something cute. He is clearly showing that he has interests in you. He doesn’t have to send you a huge essay introducing himself just to get your attention. If a man sends you one of these features, and you scoop out his profile to your surprise he seems interesting to you. Don’t be afraid to send him a quick message saying “I got your Wink thanks. You seem interesting. Want to chat.”

Myth #3: Online Dating Is Only For Young Singles

This myth is completely untrue! There is absolutely no age limit (of course you have to be 18 years old or older) for online dating. It doesn’t matter how old you are. You have every right to find a partner as well. There are some dating sites that are for certain target age group, but other than that don’t be ashamed or embarrassed to join a free online dating site.

Myth #4: Must Have Lots Of Bad Dates Before You Have One Good

This isn’t entirely true. Sometimes those that experience lots of bad dates usually pick the wrong type of people to date. If you search through profiles you will find the person who is best suited for you. Read everything on their profile, look at their pictures, and send messages if you have any other questions. There is no reason why you should have to go one numerous of bad dates before you find the one. Be picky, but not too picky.

Myth 5: Dating Sites Are Full Of Scammers/Fakes

Almost if not all dating sites have fakes and scammers. Most dating sites work very hard to keep out those who are scammers and those who pose as fakes. This does not mean that the entire online dating community is fake. It is very easy to spot out those who are fake from those that are real. Just be very selective and do not give out any personal information to anyone.

Just remember that dating is supposed to be fun. Enjoy yourself and follow your instinct in choosing the best possible choice for a potential partner. Good Luck!

The dating world can be very tough, but don’t give up on it. Sometimes all you need to know is how to improve yourself, where to look, and how to network through family and friends to meet that special someone. Have you tried adult dating sites and it is getting you nowhere? Well maybe it is time that you get up off the chair and actually go out in the world. It’s time for you to take action and get those date offers rolling in.

Top 5 Ways To Meet Other Singles:

Way #1: Throw a Party

You can throw a party and invite several friends to which each friend invites a single person. Make sure to dress to impress because you might find the person of your dreams in your very own house. Don’t feel comfortable throwing a party in your own house? There are tons of small venues or parks to rent out. Or simply ask a friend to host the party for you.

Way #2: Purposely Bump Into Someone That’s Cute

If you are out and about doing errands and you just so happen to see someone cute walking your way; take the chance to bump (of course softly) into that person. This is your opportunity to get the conversation started by saying “Oops, I am so sorry.” Then the rest is up to you. You can either invite them for lunch or a cup of coffee since you both are already out and about.

Way #3: Enjoy The Outdoors

There is still some summer days left and what a nice way to meet someone by going to the park to bike ride, walk around, sit by the lake reading a book, or taking your dog out for a walk. There are tons of other singles that go to the park to enjoy a nice, relaxing day. Approach someone and get the ball rolling.

Way #4: Put Your Social Media Network To Good Use

You can also use your Facebook or any other social media network to meet people. Use the search engine to find people who interest you or snoop through your friend’s friends list for anyone who catch your attention. Send a message first introducing yourself and then see where it leads you both.

Way #5: Ask/Get Opinion On How Something Looks

Let’s say that you are in the department store looking to find a shirt to purchase for someone else’s birthday or event. You see someone that you are attracted too. Approach them by saying, “Excuse me. My cousin’s birthday is in a few days. Do you think he/she will like this?” They will be flattered at the surprise you want to have their opinion.

Some of these ways are very bold and might bring you out of your comfort zone, but trying different and new approaches will benefit you in the long run. This ways will help you find other singles in your area and get you a date in no time.

• CLEAN! Everything should be clean with NO holes or stains and as wrinkle free as possible. I mean EVERYTHING that includes not only your shirt and pants but also includes your shoes, socks, and under clothing.
• If you are wearing jewelry make sure it’s clean and that your watch is working and tells the right time.

There are always places to go and things to see, there’s a new adventure around every corner. Guys get major points for being able to plan a creative date. Just knowing that they took the time to really think it through and plan it out is such a turn on. He was able to do more then look up a movie time, great!
