Listen up Guys. Have you ever felt bewildered by what women want in a date and you’re in need of the best dating tips for men? Do not worry! You are not alone. Most women have a very difficult time understanding us (and we usually have a difficult time understanding you). To help you out, here is a short set of my absolutely best dating tips for guys.

First things first gentlemen … we want you to act like gentlemen. That is, we want you to treat us like ladies. Be polite and respect our boundaries. Try opening doors for us. Tell us we look wonderful tonight! Few things can warm up a girl’s heart like a considerate gentleman. Do not overdo it though, which leads into the next point: Do not try too hard. If you are tripping over yourself to impress us, believe me, we notice and it is not an attractive thing. It comes across as desperate and a bit icky. Be confidant, generous and kind, but do not lay it on too thick.

On the next point, once you are dating us, we do appreciate sentiments like flowers, being told how wonderful we are and all those other great signs of interest. However, by that point, we already know you are interested in us and pushing it too much becomes trying too hard. Instead of making superficial indications of how much you care, actually show it to us. Do your best to remember our birthdays. Take an interest in our lives and pastimes. Come meet our families. Show us through your actions what we mean to you, not through throwaway compliments and store-bought things. I cannot emphasize how high this ranks among the best dating tips for guys.

Communication is vital to us. If you do not understand what we mean or you are not really paying attention, do not lie to us and pretend otherwise. I am sure most of you guys out there have had a lady yell at you that she specifically told you something that you did not remember. She did tell you, but you were not listening or did not understand what she meant. Avoid digging yourself into this whole and communicate with us!

Women have an overblown reputation for being emotional, but we do tend to think we are more emotional than men. However, be careful not to offend us by disregarding our emotions. If we cry watching a sad movie or get gushy after a romance flick, do not trivialize our reaction by insisting “it’s just a stupid movie” or asking us why we are reacting that way. We are reacting to what we watched, empathizing with the movie. The emotional response is real and few things can be more offense than a reaction that comes across as “what’s wrong with you woman?” To us it is being human to express ourselves. We would not mind if you expressed yourself a bit along with us, but we are not foolish enough to expect it.

Keep in mind these best dating tips for guys and you will find yourself receiving much better reactions from women, even if you still do not understand us.
