Dating Advice for Today’s Modern World (Part 1) https://6ixhappening.com/dating-advice-in-todays-modern-world-part-1/
Part 2
As a rule of thumb, men should get into the habit of planning dates and taking charge because women like a man who takes the lead. This does not mean you control every aspect of the date; you are just firm in where you want to go, what time, and in setting the tone/atmosphere of how the date is going. Respect is critical and must be upheld at all times, nothing good ever comes from being forced. While it is important to initiate subtle touching and physical contact during a date, too much can ruin things altogether. As a man, you never want to make a woman feel uncomfortable in your presence. She should feel safe, secure, at ease, and like she can tell you anything because of the frame you are upholding. Men should not be in a rush to get into the sheets because if everything else was done right prior, this is a real possibility at the end of the night. Play the game, flirt, escalate things slowly, talk to her, be a gentleman, make her laugh. If you make her feel wanted, I promise she will reward you sooner rather than later. For women, the biggest thing they should realize is how hard men have it when trying to date, he may be shy. So, if you see him putting in effort to acknowledge that, and compliment him, it goes a long way. Most women do not compliment men, listen to them and what he has going on, ask questions, engage the conversation, and see how you fit in his world, this will automatically show you actually care about him. Men want peaceful women that listen to them, they don’t like loud, argumentative, obnoxious, super opinionated women that are going to give headaches. When women realize it’s not only about me and actually take interest in what the man has going on for himself, she sets herself apart from the rest who have a bad attitude toward men. This “rest” I speak of is also probably the majority of women he is used to dealing with, so standing out from the pack is key for women if they want a relationship with that man.
Men are used to being rejected and taken advantage of by women, so if a female can show she is different/unique and pleasant to be around/talk with I’m sure he will take notice. Lastly, first date ideas can vary but usually, a safe bet is going out for ice cream, coffee, or a good meal. If it’s nice out you can go for a walk in the park, take your dogs out, (women love guys with dogs lol) going out for a couple of drinks, and picnics, are all great things people can do together. When it comes to the first date less is always more, the simpler the better. Spending too much on a first date can give people a false sense of how all dates will go, so therefore this should be avoided at all costs. If someone tries to get you to spend more than you want on a first date, it’s a major red flag that should not be ignored and in my opinion, is grounds to terminate the interaction right then and there.
At the end of the day, it’s about getting to know someone new, so in order to figure out if that connection is actually there, you need to be somewhere with that person you two can really talk, get to know one another, and see if feelings are mutual. Only then, can a determination be made to take things further or not. This my friends is how dating works in 2022 and the way I see it going for the foreseeable future also as the world gets more digital, better get used to it. It’s a fun process but it does take work, time, and effort, from both sides which many are not willing to put in. Like anything in life, the more you put in the better quality you get back out of it. With all the different personalities, busy schedules, abundant options that apps provide and competition it’s no wonder dating is hard and in the position, it’s in right now. If you ask me though, I think this is a good thing. Let me elaborate. Finding your “person” the “one” your “soulmate” shouldn’t be an easy thing to accomplish, as this is someone you intend on spending the rest of your days with after all right?? lol.
