Relationships and marriages do NOT have to be complicated. But since we are human beings, we tend to create mountains out of molehills. Let’s keep it simple and go over the top ten list for some great relationship advice for the guys:

1. Buy expensive things — girls want feelings not things! Buying expensive things for a woman may put them in an uncomfortable position. You may not realize it but you are “buying” her love. And it is manipulative and a lot of women resent it.

2. Not giving her something that has meaning – give something that brings about great memories. For instance, I got a small artificial plant in a clay pot for my sweetheart because she did NOT have a green thumb. And She loved it! And every once in a while I would remind her to rotate the plant in the sunlight. And it made her laugh. The plant only cost me 99 cents but it brought us a lifetime of pleasant memories. You could look for 1000’s of awesome cheap ideas in mail order catalogs. If you got a little talent, how about singing a little song, writing a love note or even a short poem?

3. Buying the same thing over and over again for Valentine’s Day — remember, Valentine’s Day is really a bonanza for retailers. Millions and millions of guys pushed by advertisements to buy chocolates and flowers on February 14th, every single year. And it sure gets a little stale and predictable after a while. Dare to be wild! Really surprise her with something unexpected and she would really appreciate! It can be a coupon good for a “night out in town” or even a voucher she can redeem that you will clean up the kitchen on some days when she doesn’t feel like doing it.

4. Not saying, “I love you” every single day — just kidding! Every other day is fine. OK guys, I’ll be serious now. My suggestion is to pick your moments. While you do want to assure her that she still has your heart, what you REALLY want to do, is throw a teensy weensy bit doubt in it.

5. Tease and tantalize her — just enough to vex and make her wonder if you really, really love her. And when you finally do reassure her of your heart, she will respond with intense feelings of love and companionship.

6. Be boring – oh come on, guys! You can’t bore a woman to a slow death and expect her to respond with love and passion.

7. Not putting enough thought in ways to spend quality time together — find some activity or pastime that you both enjoy doing together. It doesn’t have to be expensive or strenuous. It can be a slow walk on the beach to visiting a theme museum downtown.

8. Not doing the little things outside of “traditional” moments – you don’t have to wait until her birthday, anniversary or Valentine’s Day to do something special for her. Remember, women are different from guys. While we might be happy watching sports or tinkering with our hobbies, women treasure moments of attention from you. It means paying attention to her and listening to what she is saying.

9. Trying to solve her problems – to me, this is one of the biggest blunders guys make. When your woman complains or talks about something that is bothering her… The reaction of most guys is to try to “fix” that problem for her. It bothers us that someone we love is in pain and it is natural for guys to “fix it” for them. But guess what? Most times, she DOESN’T want you do take care of the problem for her. She just wants you to empathize and reassure her that you love her. In short, women are not china dolls – they are fully capable of solving most of their problems on their own. Next time she is talking to you, ask yourself, is she seeking a solution from you or is does she just want your steady approval?

10. Not giving her space – give her the gift of missing her every once in a while. Go on a camping or fishing trip with your buddies for a week. How about a work related seminar? Just find a legitimate excuse to get out of the house for a few days.

Now get busy. You have things to do to create love and affection in your relationship with your sweetie…

One of the most difficult parts of meeting and attracting a woman is becoming comfortable enough to initially approach them. For most men, the very thought of approaching a woman and starting a conversation is terrifying in and of itself.

Obviously, this can be quite a hindrance when trying to meet women. So now what? Do you just sit back and hope a woman will approach you? No, definitely not.

There’s a simple solution. The best way to become more comfortable approaching women is to do it. You can learn how to best approach women by actually doing it.

Yes, it is quite simple, but many guys never do it. Rather, they worry about fine-tuning the best “routine” and stressing over what to say. Forget about memorizing lines and practicing your routine, you will get the best results by simply approaching women and practicing first-hand.

Let me explain why…

Think back to when you were first learning to drive. You would sit in the high school Driver’s Education course listening to your teacher for four hours talking about the rules of the road. Eventually, you believed you knew all you needed to be a terrific driver until you sat behind the wheel for the first time.

At that point, you realized driving was much harder than you anticipated. You were nervous at first, but gradually became a good drive (at least we hope so!).

Well, learning how to approach women is no different.

It is most effectively learned though hands-on, repetitive practice. After a while, you will begin to learn what works best and what simply doesn’t work.

Now, you are probably a little hesitant for fear of being rejected. Here’s a secret: You’re not alone! Every guy worries about rejection.

The trick is to not look at rejection as bad, but rather as an opportunity to refine your approach and learn what does and does not work. The most obvious way to learn what DOESN’T work is when you are rejected. Eventually, you will figure out what DOES work.

So, the next question is when you should start. Well, that’s easy…NOW! Do not waste any more time.

As I mentioned earlier, men often waste too much time sitting around trying to figure out how to succeed when it comes to meeting women. Rather than trying to figure out these theories on the sideline, the best way to figure them out is to get out there and try them.

I encourage you to try to approach at least a few women per day. Try complimenting them, or asking for the time. At this point, what you say is not quite as important as the act of approaching them. As you begin to approach more women, you will eventually feel more comfortable and more confident in your attraction skills.

Now, if you are still hesitant to just get out there and try it, you can always write down a few ideas before hand. Whatever it takes to get you out there! Soon, you will be confident in your skills and forget about any fear of rejection you once had.

I receive a fair amount of emails from guys asking about the “rules” they should follow when dating. With that in mind, I thought I would list what I consider to be 8 important rules in dating girls.

For the most part my advice focuses on overcoming shyness and approaching girls. I also discuss other techniques to improve your success rate with women. I always feel a certain amount of giddiness when I get an email asking for advice about going on a date, as it means the sender “landed” a girl. The tips must be paying off!
It is important to develop skills for dating….after all it is great to be able to get a number and set up a date. However if you flop each time you go out on one you are in trouble. If you keep these 8 “rules” in mind, you are already ahead of the game.

1) Open doors for her – This one is an old rule and still holds true. It is such a simple act that girls greatly appreciate. Now don’t make a spectacle of it. Do it as though it is something you always do and it is part of your nature. It shows you are helpful and caring. Points for you!

2) Approach the first date as though it is her time to impress you – It takes some time to see if you actually “click” with a girl. The first date should be exactly that – your time to see if she is a fit for you.

Approaching the date this way can be very helpful. First, it lowers the pressure you put on yourself. Second, you portray yourself through your body language and actions that you are the one being sought after. Girls always like a certain amount of chase.

3) Act like a friend (even drop a line about “being friends”) – This plays some major tricks on girls. About 15 minutes into the conversation saying something like “So far so good. It’s always a good thing meeting new friends isn’t it?” can have a major impact. It confuses her as she is most likely used to guys acting like a boyfriend right form the start. Believe me, it’s powerful stuff.

Lean back, laugh, have fun and act like her friend (at least at the start). It builds comfort and puts her in a position where she views you as a challenge.

4) Don’t treat the date like an interview – A first date typically involves SO many questions. “Where did you grow up?” “What do you do?” “Tell me about your family?” ….blah blah blah. A lot of the times these are just ways of filling up dead air.

If you have already taken my free week long crash course via email (available at my website), then you know girls aren’t attracted to the same old predictable guy. Ask these types of questions and that is who you are. Instead, bring some spice and excitement to the table. Ask goofy questions. Talk about the latest celebrity scandals, talk about the neighborhood drunk that keeps waking you up……make it funny! A question like “are you as sad as I am that Britney and K-Fed aren’t together anymore?” brings up an opportunity for funny conversation that she won’t be expecting. Believe me, this works!

5) Watch your body language – Always project confidence in your body language. Walk upright, put your shoulders back and hold your head up.

Make eye contact and hold it. If your eyes are shifting a lot it shows nervousness.

Make sure your gestures are slow and controlled. Many people make fast movements when they are nervous.

Also, lean back while sitting and try not to cross your legs or arms.

All of this portrays confidence. Practice this if you need to, it can take some getting used to. But remember body language is a HUGE part of communication. All of this will help.

6) Try to take her somewhere fun or different – Let’s face it. Dinner and a movie is so predictable. I love going out for dinner. I still consider that a great date. But make sure the restaurant is unique or interesting.

Where I live we have a restaurant owned by a gay couple who collect rooster memorabilia. The whole place is covered with roosters and the owners are off the wall. It makes for a unique and fun dining experience.

Maybe there is a cool market you can take her to. Or a festival in town. Think of places where she most likely has never gone to with a guy.

And it also helps to go to more than one place. Venue changes help to make her feel comfortable with you as it gives the impression you have experienced more together. It also makes it feel like she has gone on an adventurous date.

7) Do not think that spending money on her will impress her. If you just start spending truckloads of cash on her on dinners, shows and flowers it gives off a real signal that you are chasing her.

It’s ok to buy her a meal if you offered to do so, but don’t offer to pay for absolutely everything. Remember, she likes to be challenged and you want her guessing whether or not you are interested in her.

Have fun – Ok, this one seems obvious. But it really is important. I always approach a date as though I am going to enjoy myself. I might not “dig” the girl, but I am still going to go out and have a good time.

I love women for obvious reasons. I also genuinely like their company, even if I am not attracted to them as more than “just friends”. Approach all your dates as though you are going to have fun regardless of whether the two of you “click” and you will have an edge.

There you have it. By keeping these rules in dating girls in mind not only do you have a much better chance of making your date heavily attracted to you, but you will also enjoy yourself more. It’s a win-win!

That’s all for now,

The first date always remains special to any person. It’s a long-cherished dream coming true. Obviously, everybody will love to make it truly memorable. So, if you don’t want to mess up things and play your cards well, just go through our tips.

Setting up your first date at the right time and at the right place is a must to make it etched in your mind. Just call her and fix your date, say, on the next Friday afternoon. Don’t show that you have enough time for her and ready to go out with her any day and anytime she wants. Instead, emphasize on your busy schedule and make her realize that you are squeezing out your precious time to meet her over a cup of coffee.

In case your date says that she has other plans for those particular hours, you can persuade her by saying ‘If you come with me, your fun will get doubled-up.’ If she is still reluctant to enjoy your company, just give her a laugh showing that whether she agrees or not, your level of confidence remains intact.

Schedule your date during the early afternoon. Thus, you can get much more time to spend together, because you have the whole afternoon and evening on hand.

Choosing the right place and ambience is crucial. Don’t go for the conventional movie-theatre or restaurant mode that can sometimes lead to utter boredom. Opt for something different and adventurous! Use a little imagination and select a place where romance and excitement go hand-in-hand. Suppose, you have gone to a neighborhood sightseeing location, then comes rain and you two take shelter in a dilapidated but sprawling castle where you share your first passionate kiss. Isn’t that thrilling enough?

If any such locations aren’t coming in your mind right now, you can take help of your ‘City Guide’. Letting the girl select the place can be a better alternative.

Even indoor places can provide you the necessary adventure. Take the local shopping mall for instance. Here, you can sip coffee at the café, indulge yourselves in some window-shopping, enjoy the bowling game and gaze through books on love and sex at the adjacent bookshop. You also get enough space to walk around in the company of each other. Doing various activities in a single date can bring out most of the fun. Just sitting at the restaurant table and chatting for hours can’t help much.

Never stick next to the girl all along the date. Just move away to some other parts of the shop and let her know that you are a self-assured and independent man who doesn’t need the consent of his woman to make his moves. Getting attracted to your confident persona, she will surely come looking for you and that makes your first date a success.

Being in the company of your dream woman doesn’t mean that you have to be extra courteous and extra nice to her. Never give her a feel that you are wearing a gentleman’s mask for pleasing her. Just be yourself and show the minimum respect that a woman deserves.

Be in control of the whole dating situation. Don’t keep on saying ‘yes’ to all her requests. When she asks you to give her a call the day after, tell her to call you instead. Direct answers can make your date dull; instead hone your skills of playing with words. That will leave her guessing till the end.

Don’t get afraid of her complaints. If she is not enjoying any activity of yours, be free to do it even more. In spite of her repeated complaining if you continue doing the things you love, then it can be a clear signal that you are the one who is in the driver’s seat and she won’t get what she wants just by being a nag. Once you make it evident that she is not indispensable in your life, she won’t leave any stone unturned to get closer to you.

Keeping your cool and composure throughout the date can definitely make you a winner. Going off balance can be a major let down. Make the most of your weaponry of words, smiles, tone of voice and body language.

Still now, making the first move is a man’s forte. So, don’t get nervous. Muster enough courage to do the act. Women generally do not fall for those men who fail to assert themselves.

While enjoying your first date, give her a taste of something that she hasn’t enjoyed before. Just bring her an ice-cream cone of unusual flavor. It will make her day and the date will create an everlasting impression in her mind. Whenever she tastes the ice cream in future, she will remember you.

You guys must not forget to use your attraction mechanism. Attraction has noting to do with being attractive. You may not be a Hollywood hunk, but it doesn’t mean that no woman is going to feel strong attraction for you. Your individuality and way of communication will make them floored. So, instead of paying excessive attention to the physical aspect, learn the tricks of becoming a woman’s object of desire.

And before you part ways, don’t fail to give her the goodnight kiss!

Dating with humor can be one of the most powerful weapons when it comes to attracting women, here’s why. When a good joke is delivered properly laughter is triggered inside the mind. It sets off a seductive chain of events in the human brain that can be used to our advantage to create a killer first impression when approaching women.

A lot of people don’t know this, but this phenomenon has been documented by psychologists and we have a pretty clear understanding why this happens. But the most fascinating point is, we now know how this happens. You can literally start creating feelings of intrigue, fascination, seduction and of course laughter in the women you are exposing this to.
So guess what, if you can bring out all these feelings of chemistry and attraction from women, on demand… you very quickly stand out amongst a crowd of other guys in her mind. This has such a powerful affect that in most cases it makes women overlook obvious facts such as, you might not be the best looking guy in the room, or the tallest, or the richest.

Did you know? Psychological studies have shown that it’s psychologically impossible to dislike someone who has made you laugh. Hmmm interesting, this fact alone was what changed my dating life from average to consistently successful with women practically overnight. It was one of the biggest breakthroughs I had ever learned about dating.

So how does humor create all this psychological magic inside the human brain? It’s all about conflicting ideas. Let me explain. The human brain needs to deal with things, concepts, ideas that are of a similar nature. Two opposing or conflicting thoughts cannot roll around inside a person’s head for very long before it creates stress, confusion and anxiety.

Now here is the best part, you can do her a big favor and be the knight in shining armor and create these conflicting thoughts or ideas inside her head…Huh? Let me explain, a well crafted, well delivered joke is a prime example of two conflicting ideas. As I mentioned before the conflict of these two ideas creates stress and anxiety and this is released through a pressure relief valve called Laughter.

So how can a joke be two conflicting ideas? Well it kind of reminds me of many years ago when I was a kid. One of my fondest childhood memories was back in grade two. That’s when my father would always walk me to school everyday…Well it made sense, he was in the same grade as me.

Did you catch that? I snuck that one in on you. This was a proper “Set Up” of a joke, you didn’t see it coming. It became a natural part of the flow of the conversation. I was guiding you down a set of tracks and then bang I literally derailed your train of thought.

Now this joke has worked remarkably well for me at parties and social gatherings when of course the girl I just met wants to know something about my family. And that is my entry point to deliver this joke on a silver platter, with a complete surprise and with great response.

Warning: Here’s how not to tell a joke! Have you ever been at a party or gathering and some guy comes into the room and announces, “Hey everybody, I heard a really good one the other day, ummm…what do you get when…?”

Well that’s like a week old dead carp lying in the sun. You can smell it from a mile away. Even if there was a remote chance that it was a good joke, this guy just took away the most powerful weapon of a joke, and that is the element of surprise. And what’s more he looks like a Dork in the process.

Have you ever watched a really talented magician demonstrating an illusion or effect? He draws your attention down a set of tracks and bang he derails your train of thought with a surprise at the end that makes you gasp or go wow. He does it with slight of hand…but you can now create this magical effect of attraction in a woman…with slight of mouth.
