When you join up with an online dating service you will be asked a number of questions about your likes and dislikes and what you see as your personality traits. This is to ensure the service can match you with a person who is as close to you in nature as possible. It is up to you to answer these questions as truthfully as possible to ensure a good fit.
These questions are often in the form of a quiz, and all you have to do is check the most appropriate box (or circle) in the row. They may ask questions like: – are you content, humorous, efficient, artistic, a perfectionist, creative, etc. with options ranging from a little to a lot. This sounds simple at first, but one site has well over 75 questions of this type to answer. Okay, so you only have to tick each one, but it still does take up quite a bit of time.
Once the easy questions have been answered, you will be likely to get some harder questions. Never mind; they are important and at least they are mostly still to be answered with a check in a box or circle, so at least that part is easy. These are to find out about what sorts of values are important to you, whether you are good at resolving conflict, what background you come from and all those kinds of things.
Not only do you have to answer questions about yourself, your personality traits, your likes and dislikes, whether you have a faith and how important it is to you, your background and whether you would prefer a serious relationship or one less so, you also need to answer questions about what you would prefer to find in your prospective date. Most of these will be on a similar line to the ones you just answered about yourself. But you are likely to answer them in a different way. Why? Because you are not going to want a date that is a carbon copy of yourself in every way.
It is important to answer all these questions as truthfully as possible, even though it may seem to take forever. If you are serious about finding a person that you get on well with, these questions will help the dating service find a really good match for you. In fact, they will probably find several, and it will then be up to you to choose whom you want to get in touch with.
When you are hoping to attract and seduce a woman, you will need to know how to win her trust. Women are taught to be cautious of men throughout their lives. Children are told by their parents and teachers to be careful of strange men and for girls this continues after they are grown up.
So when you want to attract a woman, you need to earn her trust. This means treating her in a way that shows you will not hurt her. This is not just a question of hurting her physically, although this is certainly a factor. However, she also wants to know that you will not hurt her and treat her badly emotionally.
A man who is impatient and tries to bully women or coerce them into agreeing to a date is not likely to be successful with women. There may be a few who will accept this kind of treatment but most will run away. If you push a woman too hard for her phone number, for example, she will become afraid and will give you a false one.
A great way to win a woman’s trust is to establish a connection. In fact, this works for all relationships and you are probably aware of it. For example, if you are stuck in an elevator or involved in a dangerous or awkward situation with other people, you will quickly trust the people who are in that situation with you. A connection is created and a level of trust which would normally have taken months to build up, is right there immediately.
Of course you cannot arrange to get stuck in an elevator with every attractive woman that you meet – or if you do, you will find that word gets around town and people quickly become unwilling to enter elevators with you! But a great technique when you first meet a woman and want to quickly win her trust, is to create some kind of connection like this. Pick out something that unites the two of you and sets you apart from others.
It will help if you practice doing this with almost anyone you see at parties or in nightclubs. Even if you are not attracted to the person and don’t intend to talk to them, look for something that could form a connection between you and imagine what you would say. It will soon become second nature to you.
The important point with this technique is to talk about your own feelings, not hers. It works best if it’s some kind of problem that you both have – you’re dressed too smart, you wish you could smoke, etc. Does it look like her shoes might be uncomfortable? Don’t mention her shoes, but create a connection by saying you wished you’d worn your new shoes a couple times before you wore them tonight.
You can win her trust in seconds by creating a bond like this. Then you can reinforce it with touch. A touch on the arm or upper back, or holding her hand for a moment, is ideal. This will reassure her that you are interested and will take care of her. Keep it brief to leave her wanting more.
Be completely real. Women have a way of recognizing a phony guy. Therefore, it is important to always be yourself instead of trying to impress a woman by being something that you are not. Even if they fall for it in the beginning they will figure you out in time.
Keep her guessing. Women like a challenge as much as men. Therefore, it’s not necessary to work hard to show her just how much you like her. Let the relationship bloom over time and just enjoy the trip! Don’t be secretive or avoid her questions however, when she shows interest in your life by asking questions it is important to give her the answer.
If you say you’re going to call, call. This is a common mistake that many men make. If you tell a woman that you are going to call at seven p.m., they will be waiting for your call. Making them wait, or never calling, is rude and most women will become quickly uninterested in a man who doesn’t follow through
Be emotionally prepared. Many men forget that even the first date could be the start of a long term relationship if things go well. Prepare yourself mentally for the idea that the first, second or later date could be the night where you fall in love. Being unprepared can leave you less open to the woman that you are dating and give her the impression that you’re either not interested or just not ready.
Be a good listener. When your date is talking, she may be giving you clues about herself that could help you win your way into her heart. If you spend all of your time talking or simply pretending you are listening to her, then you are likely to miss out on something important. Also, keep eye contact when she is talking so that she can see that you are genuinely interested in what she has to say.
Look good for every date. Unless you have agreed in advance to dress casually, it is important to spend time to look good for dates. Every woman spends hours preparing for every day, so return the favor. While you may not spend hours getting ready, you should be particular about what you wear and whether you are properly groomed. A neat appearance reflects on you more than you might realize. It makes you appear more confident, organized and responsible.
A single compliment is often the best way to get the attention of a busy woman. For example, if you are grocery shopping and you see a woman you’d like to meet consider approaching her and giving her a very simple compliment to start up a conversation. After a few minutes, ask her for her phone number and tell her you’ll call later to continue the chat. Don’t forget to call when you say you will, otherwise she may get the wrong impression.
Be witty with your pickup lines. The first time you approach a woman; don’t try to impress her with intelligent conversation right from the start. Instead, you need to focus on being cute and clever so that you can get her phone number or at least give her yours. Cliché pickup lines may seem like the way to go, but you’d be better finding a genuine opener that she probably has not already heard a thousand times.
