Here is a small list of some of the more common mistakes a man can make while dating a woman.

Mistake #1: Dates are only to make a good impression.

Many men feel they have to prove themselves while on a date, so the woman is attracted to them. Many may take a woman out to expensive places while showing her a good time; while they go on to build himself up as important by bragging.

Mistake #2: Buying your way into the heart of a woman.

Sadly, many men think that if they spend enough money on a woman, they can get her to sleep with them.  This is always (and has always been) a bad idea.  Aside from the gold diggers in the world, most women don’t care how much you’re spending on a date.

Mistake #3: Activities are a pointless waste of time!

Since spending time together does not equal a romantic interest, going out with someone does not mean as much as you would think it does, therefore, doing the dinner and a movie date, does not mean the girl will be attracted to you.

Mistake #4:  Guys can become BORING!

Nothing is worse than going out on a date where there is no spark or chemistry.  Some guys get so nervous on dates, that they sabotage themselves by being a boring dud.  They talk about mundane things, display little or no personality, and just go through the motions hoping not to screw anything up.

Mistake #5:  Guys follow a pattern of failure.

Some men have a preconceived ideal of dating, how they think things should happen, and then they rigidly follow that perception. They may go out on a dinner date, while they ask her all the same questions as their other dates. This eliminates all the spontaneous fun of interacting with the woman.

So what does it mean to date a woman?

Simple:  Dating is the process of building comfort, strengthening emotional connections, and building attraction!

Where you go and the amounts of money you spend are not important, what is important is your ability to connect with the woman you are dating and positively encouraging the way she feels about you.

That is why so many guys can take a girl on a cheap date and sweep her off her feet, and other guys can drop thousands of dollars on really creative dates and get NOWHERE.

You should completely focus on how you can increase your emotional connection with the woman you date.

Talk about your shared interests.  Talk about your passions.  Try and figure out what her hopes and dreams are.

Stay away from boring questions like “where do you work?”  Instead, rephrase these questions to be fun and interesting, for instance, ask her:  “If you could do anything you wanted, and weren’t bound by the laws of space and time, what would you do?”

Just have fun and enjoy yourself!

Tell a few jokes, even if they are not the best, simply have fun, while steering the conversation towards her topics of interest, you should be curious of whom she really is.

But most importantly, don’t shy away from sex!

Although many men shy away from approaching the subject of relationships while on a date, you should build the intensity of attraction by building toward that.

Joke about sex.  Flirt with her.  Be a little wicked.  Girls like this, and if you DON’T do it, you won’t be able to build enough attraction to take things to the next level.
