How to Woo a Lady
The expression "to woo" has a pleasantly old-fashioned ring about it. Many people, these days, seem to move quickly from one relationship to the next, particularly those who are living metropolitan busy lives. Sometimes, it can be difficult for people to meet prospective partners and spend the necessary time in getting to know a person. The Free Dictionary defines "to woo" as "to seek the affection with intent to romance." This implies that wooing mainly occurs at the early stage of a relationship when the man is trying to win over the lady he possibly wants to spend the rest of his life with.

Improve your communication skills. This is one of the most important thing you can do. Phillip Hodson, Fellow of the British Association for Counseling and Psychotherapy draws parallels between a top salesman and a person trying to impress a woman. A salesman does not just hold forth on every single thing he knows about his product. He says to the prospective customer, "What is it you want?"
Like any other human beings, women like to be listened to.

Be sincere. Most women can see straight through a practiced seducer. When you pay the woman a compliment make it genuine. Hold back a little as this will intrigue the woman. If you pester her with attention, she may feel almost automatically compelled to withdraw her own attention. Concentrate on being good company and pleasant. Be her friend, but with a bit of flirtation allowed.

Smile and and use open body language. Meet the woman's eyes. Touch her arm occasionally, in a casual but unobtrusive way. Respond appropriately, though, backing off immediately if you feel that the woman does not welcome the touch of your hand on her arm. Open a door for her and carry a heavy bag. Many women welcome these signs of courtesy. However, she will also be aware of how you treat all the people you deal with and will spot any ulterior motives behind your good manners.
