Three Dating Steps For Guys

Some people are pros at dating, but some need a little be more guidance. If you feel like you need a little help, then this is the article for you. Because I am a guy and have had experience with dating woman, I have tailored this to a guy’s experience. However, if women do read this, I hope they find some of these steps either interesting or funny. Please note that I am no expert, just a guy sharing some helpful tips/steps for dating woman.

Meet a Girl

This should honestly be the easiest part of your journey. You’ve assessed your life situation and you feel like you need a special someone in your life. Make the effort to talk to women, ask your friends if they know any single ladies, or get on a dating app. Any way you’re able to spark a conversation with a girl you may possibly end up dating, go for it! Make sure this girl is someone you may like to spend some more time with in the future, because after all, she could end up being your girlfriend.

Ask Her on a Date

Once you’ve met this girl, wait at least two to three months before you ask her out. Allow some time in between to casually get to know her. Spark conversations, ask questions and be an active player in the game of love. One key mistakes guys make is to jump in too quick. Once the two to three month stage passes, be bold and honest and ask the girl on a date. This is the point where things can go two ways. Either the girl says yes and you proceed to schedule the date or the girl says no. If the girl says no, then let the precedent stand. This girl more than likely only wants to be your friend has made it clear. If that’s the case then decide whether or not you can continue to just be friends or if you need some time to get over your romantic feelings. However, if the girl has accepted your date request then schedule the date and get going. For those of you who have not struck gold, find another girl and start back up at step one.

Ask for Second Date

Upon finishing the first date, ask her if she would like to go on a second date. Make sure you do this in person. If you wait to do this in text then you may not be able to fully get the answers you want. Being upfront about this in person shows that you’re willing to be blunt and demonstrate interest in her. If she says yes, then perfect, you’re two for two. However, if she denies the second date request then take it like a man and thank her for the time she allowed to spend with you and cut off all communication. You shouldn’t contact her after the first date. If she has denied the second date, then you have done all that you can do to advance the relationship. It is now up to her to reach out to you if she wishes. Stopping all communication with her may lead her to discover that she misses talking with you and if that is the case then hopefully she will reach out to you. It is most desirable that this happens within the first week after the second date request. If she does not contact you within a month, move on and let your heart open up to another girl.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
