Ring, ring. Her date arrived just-in time. Anxiously, she answers the door to meet her tall, dark, and handsome Tinder date. His smile, along with the intoxicating scent of his cologne brings frailty to her knees; encouraging a smile on her face ear-wide. A hug, a warm kiss on the cheek, followed by a firm embrace of hand, and they’re off – onto the first date!
On the way to the restaurant, they exchange sweet small-talk to blossom the connection. Even the Uber driver was moved to comment: “you two make such a cute couple! How long have you been together?” Not knowing this was their very first date. They chuckled with a response, “Oh no, we just met for the first time tonight.”
It was clear that the sparks had already begun to kindle. But how will this date turn-out…and can they make it to the end with mutual, romantic interest? The date can certainly work favorably for them both – but only if they play their cards right.
Just as the dinner date begins to unfold, something happens that takes a turn for the worst – a beautiful waitress approaches the table and mentions that she will be their server for the night. With an awe-struck facial expression and giddy smile, the man devolves into flirting with the waitress – right in front of his date.
What Women Want
Every man knows what a woman wants, don’t they? Not quite. More often than not, women will go on countless dates and continue swiping their favorite dating apps, because the men they end up meeting – just don’t hit the mark. Truthfully, it can also be challenging for a guy to know what the mark actually is.
All it takes is one turn-off that can make a date fall completely by the wayside. So, how do you avoid these dating pitfalls when on a date with a woman? Don’t worry, we share two big, red-flags to avoid so that you have a better chance of sweeping her off her feet!
Dating Turn-Offs
No Confidence
A confident man is an attractive man. Having confidence is a key quality that women seek in every man; and is a trait that allures her to want to know more about him. When a man lacks confidence, he portrays an undesirable persona. Men, have confidence….and wear it like gold!
Too Many Compliments
A genuine compliment can be both flattering and comforting to hear, but too many compliments come-off as needy and disingenuous. If you want to compliment a woman, choose one to highlight and do so in a meaningful way. Cheesy, overbearing compliments will surely turn her off, enabling her to think about the next guy she’d rather be dating. Be authentic, and save a compliment for the right moment.
