10 Tips for Men on Dating Women
Those confident, independent women who seem to be everywhere these days can leave a man wondering how to approach them for a date. You'll have no trouble, though, if you focus on making your lady feel special from the first invitation to the many dates that follow. Women will never tire of men who go to the trouble of charming them.

Ask Her Out the Old-Fashioned Way
-
You will make an immediate good first impression by asking your date out in person or through a phone call. E-mail invitations and text messages show a certain lack of effort. If this is a woman you hope to impress, let her hear your voice.
Have a Definite Plan
-
Women don't feel special when men say, "So, do you want to do something this weekend?" Decide on a specific event or destination and take care of the details in advance. Your date will notice the thought you put into the evening and appreciate you for it.
-
Impress Her With Your Courtesy
-
Little details mean a lot on a first date. Pick your date up on time, open doors for her and be attentive to her needs. Smile a lot, but keep your smile natural, which means your whole face is involved, not just your lips. Courtesy extends to cleanliness, as well. Shower, shave and wear clean clothes that fit well. While you're at it, wash the car too.
Keep the Conversation Going
-
Dead air on a first date is uncomfortable for both parties. Don't leave conversation to chance. Read up on current topics and think about common interests you would both enjoy talking about. Be a good listener and don't interrupt. Most importantly, turn off your cell phone. Accepting calls during a date is just plain rude.
Cover the Bill
-
Treating the waitstaff with courtesy is a must. Because you did the asking, expect to do the paying. Don't be too stubborn, though. If your date wants to chip in for the tip or drinks after a meal, accept her offer graciously.
Avoid Playing Games
-
Quality women distance themselves from men who play games. Be honest. If you aren't interested in getting together again, thank your date for a nice evening and take your leave. If you tell her you'll call Tuesday night, call Tuesday night.
Set the Stage for a Second Date
-
Ending the night with "Well, I'll call ya" almost guarantees a refusal when you do get around to it. If the evening leaves you hoping for another, say so, and make that contact within several days.
Educate Yourself
-
You'll have learned a lot about your date's interests, if you paid attention on the first date. Before the second date, find out more about them, so you can ask specific questions and keep a conversation going. She will be complimented that you cared enough to do it.

Show Creativity
-
Art museums can start some interesting discussions. Don't rest on your laurels as the relationship grows. Put the same thought into future dates. Move beyond the meal-and-a-movie common fare to museum visits, trips to the zoo or an afternoon of estate sales
Show Respect
-
If you have found a woman you hope to have in your future, show her respect. Don't pressure her for sex before she's ready. Hand-holding and snuggling are fine until the time is right.
