How to know if she wants you to kiss her

Tuesday, August 28th, 2007

Knowing when to kiss a girl and when not to kiss a girl can make or break a potential relationship. Many guys just don’t know when they should lean in for that first kiss. We think, “Does she want me to kiss her? Will she be offended if I tried? Will she knee me in the junk if I went for a kiss?” Well there’s one sure giveaway that will tell you that she wants you to kiss her. I call it the “look.”

The look is usually brief, subtle, and very simple. She simply shifts her eyes from yours and looks at your mouth for a split second then looks back at you. That is a sure sign she wants to kiss you. It’s as simple as that.

When she looks at your mouth she’s giving you an unconscious signal (body language) that she wants to kiss you. Subconsciously, she’s imagining what it’s like to kiss you. So when you’re out on that next date pay close attention to her, especially when you’re saying goodnight, and watch for the look.

How to get a girl interested in you

Tuesday, August 21st, 2007

Many girls want what they can’t have. This is one of the major truth’s when it comes to flirting with girls. Want proof? Think about all the times that you liked a girl, hung on her every word, was there whenever she needed you – and you became her friend, not a boyfriend, just a friend. Now think of that same girl and her boyfriend. Remember how you noticed that he didn’t give her the kind of attention you did? Well, that was probably one of the reasons she was with him. She saw value in his attention because it was rare; well rarer than yours anyway.

The next time you find yourself in that “we’re just friends” situation, remember that girls want what they can’t have. So, you shouldn’t always make yourself available for her. While you’re at it, stop paying so much attention to her too.

Here’s an example:
If she calls, answer the phone but cut her off about a minute into the call and say you’ve got plans and have to go. Don’t give her an explanation. Just say you’ve got to go but you’ll call her later and be nice about it. Oh, by later I mean two days later not two hours later.

By giving her less attention you, you make yourself more appealing. Why? Because your attention is a rarity; it’s supply and demand. Gold is worth so much because it’s rare. The same goes for you and your attention.

Women’s greatest turnoffs

Monday, August 20th, 2007

Hey guys!

Whether you work or go to school, I hope your week has gotten off to a good start. I found a good blog post over at PlanJam.com that gives a brief overview of what many women consider turnoffs. There are some things that are left out of the post that I’ll expand on in the future. However until then, read the post by clicking here.

How to deal with competition from other men

Friday, August 17th, 2007

Have you ever been hanging out with your girlfriend at a party, turn your back for a minute, then notice that some guy is talking or flirting with her? I’ve been in that situation, along with many other men. There are only two types of men; those that have had this happen to them and those that haven’t yet.

So there you are. You watching some guy flirt with your girl. What do you do? I’m about to tell you.

First, remain calm
The last thing you want is to look insecure, nervous, jealous or angry. Showing these emotions will make you look insecure – read unattractive. You don’t want your girl thinking that she’s dating an insecure pansy or someone in need of anger management. Remember, you might feel these emotions, just don’t show it. Remain calm and act cool like it doesn’t bother you at all.

Walk up to your girl and the guy
Casually walk up to your girl. The keyword is casually. You don’t want to run or timidly walk over to her. Walk as you normally would walk if you were at the mall.

Begin a short conversation
Once you’re by your girl, continue acting casual. For the first few seconds only look at your girl, don’t even acknowledge that the guy is there, smile at her and ask if she’s having fun. Once she answers, look at the guy and be sure to smile. Introduce yourself to him by saying something like, “Oh hey, I’m so-and-so,” and shake his hand. Next look at your girl and apologize for interrupting by saying, “Oh, I’m sorry. Am I interrupting something?” Make sure you sound sincere. Nine times out of ten, the answer will be no. She might say something like, “No but so-and-so (the guy that’s talking to your girl) was telling me about…”

Leave the conversation and walk away with your girl
Now here is the part where you leave gracefully with your girl. Once you get a response to your question, “Am I interrupting something,” it’s time to make your move. That move should be to end the other guy’s conversation. To do this, you need to say something to the effect of, “Oh, OK. Hey babe, I want to introduce you someone.” Then look at the guy and say, “Hey man, it was great meeting you.” Shake his hand one more time, hold your girl’s hand and leave.

Again the key to this is to remain calm and act casual. Now I know that the situation may not go as smoothly as my example. What if the guy is a real jerk and is overtly flirting with her right in front of you? What if your girl says she doesn’t want to leave with you?

These are good questions and I have my answers to them that I’ll post at a later date. Right now I would like my readers to weigh in on the subject. What would you do in any of the above situations?

First date? Let her initiate the first touch.

Thursday, August 9th, 2007

A recent comment by a new visitor got me thinking about this. As a guy, it’s generally a good rule to let the girl break that personal barrier and initiate the first touch.

If you touch the girl before she is ready, she could not only be turned off by it but she might also think you’re weird or worse, a pervert. So it’s usually best to let her touch you first.

There are exceptions to this that usually come in the form of certain body language from the girl. But that is a topic for another post.

First date advice: plan ahead!

Wednesday, August 8th, 2007

first dateHere’s some first date advice: always, always, always have the date planned out. One of the biggest complaints I hear from girls about bad first dates is that the guy doesn’t have anything planned out.

According to my friend Lindsey, “When a guy picks up a girl for their first date, he should always have a restaurant picked out and an activity planned for after dinner. If he doesn’t have these things already planned, he comes off as the type of guy who can’t take charge. A lot of girls find that unattractive.”

Heed her advice guys. Pick out a good restaurant and a fun activity that’s conducive to conversation - not a movie (unless it’s back at her apartment)! And don’t forget, always have two backup restaurants and activities planned in case she doesn’t like your first choice.
