So ladies, in Part 1, we learned essential dating tips for women to subtly create an exciting atmosphere to begin dating; now you need to apply the general rules for capturing and keeping your prince charming.

You'll need to show this prince charming you're his princess and keep his attention on you. Slack up and another woman will catch his eye and you'll be back to the dating game and looking for these dating tips again.

Setting Your Standards

• If there is even a hint of bad hygiene, hit the high road, let him go.
• Don't make yourself forever available, at his beck and call. Make him work and wait a little. Certainly if he calls on a Thursday looking to go out Friday, tell him you've already made plans but can make it late Saturday night or a mid-day Sunday brunch. You don't want him to think you're waiting by the phone just for him.
• Same rules apply with phone calls. Never answer every single call he makes. Let him leave a message. When you return it, explain how busy you've been but now he has your undivided attention.
• Those weekend shopping trips and mani-pedi-friendship cures with your tried and true girlfriends are sacred. Let him know right from the start, you still have a life and you won't give up your independent lifestyle. This sets the tone of the relationship. If he is dependant, throw him back and start the game again. You don't want a possessive, insecure little boy
• Do not sleep with a guy until you are absolutely sure he is completely into you. Sex too early in your dating game might give him the wrong impression.

Romancing Him

• Romance is a two way street, you've got to give and receive. Suggest a two-some that he'll appreciate. A couples pedicure; A couples massage. Show him a little piece of what his future could be like.
• You want to snare him early on? Cook a meal. If you do not cook, be honest and tell him how you always wanted to take gourmet cooking lessons. This could be the ideal situation for 2 reasons. #1 If he knows how to cook, ask him to show you. It's romantic and fun. #2 If he doesn't know how to cook, here's the perfect setting to engage in something for both of you.
• Never discuss your old boyfriends. No one needs to know how many ex-boyfriends you've had. This is your business, keep it this way.
• Do not discuss marriage or children at this stage. It's too early and you will surely scare him off.
• Keep those bodily functions in check. He doesn't need to know all your dirty little secrets just yet. Ease him into the sounds and smells.

Keep in mind, men love a challenge and will throw a curve ball if they feel you are pre-planning, so be flexible and add new rules as you go along.

OK ladies, we know that dating is a mating ritual and the hunted must be excited, stimulated, and interested enough to set a lasting effect. We all want quick and simple but like all of life's little tests, there are general rules we must partake to find that diamond in a rough. Dating is a test. It's a long multiple choice of compatibility and strength. Are we faultlessly matched?

Of course not and that's part of the problem. We're searching for perfection, not willing to adjust. And yet our earlier generations managed to achieve happiness on a far less intricate courtship. Just think, so many arranged marriages have worked and yet, many of us are still awaiting our prince on the white horse.

Every society enjoys a predefined set of social rules, from the way we behave to the importance of our looks. And here is where all the anxiety lies; when women date, there are the general rules and then there are those things that can help become triumphant.

Accept that dating is only a game. The losers face rejection and the winners get the prize…A Man! For those that lose the game, you begin again until you win your prize. And just like any game, you learn to master the rules and win the enhanced prizes.

For the novice hunter, let's begin with some outlined dating tips:

General Dating Rules

1. You must always look fierce! Whatever your income is, you must look well put together. Well-designed fragrant hair, add some neutral lipstick and a figure-flattering frock and you're sure to turn his head. Look your best and your potential Mr. Right might be right in front of you in no time.

2. Never reveal too much info, remain mysterious. This will have him on his toes, wondering what's behind this enigmatic woman.

3. Perfume. Never over indulge. Less is always more.

4. Women hate being objects, and I hate to remind you of this but Mr. Right is going to check your essentials out.

5. Going Dutch is not the kind of dating you want to start off with. Let him pay first. If he's really interested, you are worth the bucks he's going to spend and if he doesn't, I'm sure that's the last date with him Right?

6. Always keep him waiting; no, not an hour; not 30 minutes; we don't want to be rude, but a good 15 minutes is enough to make an entrance.

Some women need dating tips when you want to go slow. The most important rule for going slow is just that; take it slow, don't rush into sleepovers, weekend trips, just keep it simple. Dinner, romantic strolls, long talks to get to know each other and a good night kiss.
