I was talking with daughter about men and dating recently. She has a new boyfriend and so far he’s very different from her other boyfriends. He takes her places, he pays for things, he asks her questions about herself, really tries to get to know her. He works and goes to school. He goes home at a sensible hour when he’s got an early class. He’s responsible. Last night he came over and sat on the patio with her and when he left, she said, “I think I’m dating a man.”  I think she’s right.

Women know what they are looking for in men.  They know what works and what doesn’t and what is attractive and what is not.  So why does it seem like there are so many men out there that are going about everything completely wrong?  Why are good guys always getting rejected?
The Wing Girl Method founder Marni Kinrys created her dating coaching company to help men improve their skills and find success in dating.  Men are always trying to help men find women, but it is so much more helpful to get dating advice from a woman!  I recently conducted an …read more

Striking out with online dating?  Sometimes it can be tricky. Are you interested in a little advice? I got these tips from The 5 Secrets of an Alluring Dating Profile at Cosmopolitan.com. 
*Promote Yourself. Sometimes it’s hard to highlight your strengths without feeling like you are bragging. If you find yourself in this situation ask a friend to help you write your profile. She won’t have the same trouble singing your praises. Building you up, that’s the kind of thing that good friends come by naturally.
*Eschew the generic descriptive words. Avoid words like “nice,” “fun,” or interests that are too simply …read more

It’s been awhile since I asked my daughter, Sarah, for her thoughts on dating. She’s been all eyes and ears when it comes to her sister and her boyfriend (who now lives with us) lately. I figured she might have some new insight.  Kids have a great way of cutting right to the heart of something.
Here’s what she had to say……
 
During the first date, don’t talk too much about your cat, or the fact that you live alone. You don’t want to sound like some kind of cat-lady weirdo.
Don’t talk too much about previous relationships, because that makes you sound …read more

I sat down to write tonight and my girl, Sarah, had some questions for me about what I write here, at Dating Dames. I told her that I write about relationship information or dating stuff, celebrity couples, how to be a more confident woman, how to get over a bad breakup, that kind of thing. 
She said, “I know some dating tips for guys.” What followed was some really common sense stuff that smart adults don’t always “get.”  I think she’s a pretty smart kid. 
Here is her advice:
*Never tell a woman that she is ugly. 
*Never tell a woman that she is old …read more

Whilst most may disagree and find these points highly subjective and limiting, I see no harm in highlighting certain considerations, which may very well prove beneficial to both parties.
Another thing is that I am certain that there are more than five points in which you should consider before entertaining his advances but I’m only limiting my list into these points for now.
Disapprobation at home
It may not be the case for some individuals but here in my country, it’s widely practiced that the person you do choose to date or enter into a relationship with is or should …read more

I got an email from Terry a few weeks ago pointing me to his post over at Kineda. First reaction to the email was “what’s so special about these steps on getting the man of your dreams?” Silly me, right? Of course, for you guys who aren’t with the man of your dreams, you are out there waiting-slash-looking for him right this very moment!

So, here’s the thing. I got a reader query and I have to admit, it’s quite a dilemma. Not that I’ve experienced it but to just imagine how it must be like..! EGAD.
I’ll quote the scenario.
“I dated this cute girl. Everything started out well, but then she started talking and talking. It wasn’t so bad, but her voice was so loud! And that laugh! It put Fran Drescher to shame! I kept up a polite grin the whole time, then made up an excuse to go home right after dinner. You can’t imagine how relieved I was to finally drop …read more

I came across this post over at 500secretsaboutmen.com that talked about some of the things that really happen in relationships.
Women, I’ve observed, have the tendency to feel insecure when their men become less and less “actively involved” in the relationship. Personally, I do feel somewhat jealous of the things that take his attention away from me or the relationship.
The article clarified this occurence for me a bit and I’m quite relieved that there’s some sense to why men act the way they act at a certain period in the relationship.
“Usually, when a guy starts switching his attention away from the …read more
