10 Tips on Approaching a Woman

Related entries: women   Tags:,
What do you do when you see a woman you are attracted to? Do you run and hide? Do you use some canned line that you read on the Internet? Do you stand there in fear trying to think of the right thing to say? What is the right thing to do?
When approaching a woman, most guys make the mistake of thinking too much about what to say. They believe there’s one magic line that will work in all situations. They rehearse this magic line, and when they deliver it, they hope the woman will become instantly attracted to them.
Unfortunately, rarely does this approach work — because most of what you say is irrelevant. To catch a woman’s attention, it is all about the confidence you display when approaching her.
Here are 10 surefire ways to intrigue her every time:
1.     Observe something. Make a comment about something you observe in the environment. This is especially effective at the grocery store. For example, if she is ordering a turkey

sandwich, ask her if the turkey is good here.

Make your comment immediate to the situation and it will seem perfectly natural. No matter where you are, there is always something interesting to comment on.
2.   Smile. This shows her that you are friendly and confident. A genuine smile not only feels good to you, but will put her at ease while creating openness in the interaction — a requirement for building rapport.
3.   Do not hesitate. If you hesitate in your approach, this tells her that you are not feeling confident — an immediate turn-off. When you see her, walk over to her within a short period of time (the three-second rule). Show her you are a man who knows what he wants and goes after it.
4.     Positive body language. If you approach hunched over with your head down, you are sending negative information about yourself, which makes you dead in the water before you begin. Stand up straight, with shoulders back and chest out, and use a firm yet relaxed walk.
5.    Not too fast. If you walk over too fast, you could likely trigger her internal alarm. A calm, casual approach is usually the best way to make her feel at ease with you.
6.   Keep eye contact. Never be the first to break eye contact when you approach. If you do, this sends the message that you are not feeling good about approaching. When you use strong eye contact, she will feel more drawn to you. With practice, you can master this.
7.    Listen up. Make sure you pay careful attention to what she says. Do not have your response pre-thought out. Women love a man who pays attention to the details of what she says. If you start throwing out random words, she will lose interest fast.
8.   Do not fidget. Fidgeting after you approach is distracting and shows you are uncomfortable. If you communicate that you are uncomfortable, she will feel uncomfortable, too, and will close up. Practice being aware of your movements. Pay attention to those movements, or lack of movements, that communicate comfort and confidence.
9.    Lighten your tone of voice. The tone of your voice is a very powerful tool. Approaching her in a light and playful tone is one of the best ways to start. You could also begin in a serious tone, accusing her of something like “I hope you saved some turkey for me,” followed by a quick smile to let her know you are joking. Practice playing with your vocal tone with your friends — notice the different reactions you get when you say the exact same thing using varied tones and fluctuations.
10.    Lean away from her. A man who leans in too far when he talks often makes a woman feel crowded. A better approach is to lean away from her slightly. This lets her know that you respect her space, boundaries, and are comfortable with yourself.
The key to making these tips work for you is putting them into practice! Practice these tips and see the reaction you get. When you put them all together, you will be surprised at their power

Have you ever been through a situation where you thought that you had the girl but she just tries to avoid you? Most guys feel that it’s the girl but the real reason for such a happening would be the way you are acting around her. What most guys don’t realize is that the girl’s response would always be based on the way they act around her. And this is where most guys end up making several deadly mistakes because they feel that they might be doing the right thing but often they are doing things which are absolutely wrong. Read on to discover what these mistakes are and save yourself before it’s too late…..

Being too needy- This is not only a major turn off but would also spoil your chances of getting any girl out there. You see being needy means you don’t really feel that you are good enough to get women around you. Women have a natural tendency to avoid guys who are act needy all the time and try to avoid them at all possible costs.

Trying too hard even when she doesn’t seem that interested- This is another big mistake a lot of guys out there tend to make thinking that by trying hard they might be able to get the girl. You must realize that doing this would only embarrass you and you might have a lot of trouble getting women to even talk to you this way. Maintain your dignity and learn to walk away if she is not showing too much interest.

Trying to brag about how good you are- This is another big mistake a lot of guys make thinking that it would impress the girl and they would get the desired results fast this way. Never compliment yourself too much around the girl because it will always make you come across as someone who is just trying to show off.

First dates are usually not an easy thing. You don’t want to look like a lie or stretch the truth nor neither you want to send your date running off to hail a cab before you have even ordered for a plate of rice. Basically, the thing about the first date is for you to learn and know more about the stranger sitting across from you and to see if there is any link between or connections between the two of you. It’s good to be honest on your first date. We don’t really believe there are any hard and fast rules when it comes to dating, and despite what movies would have you think, there is no such thing as the “perfect date,” so bear it in mind. Still these are the things you should not say;

1. “So I just got out of the Hospital

Maybe you have some personal problems you’ve been working on. Perhaps you’ve been in therapy since you were 13 years old. Whatever the case may be, it’s probably best not to introduce your new romantic interest to your BIG, SCARY ISSUES, at least not yet. Everybody has problems, big and small, but the first date is more about showing off your personality, not painting yourself as a psychotic addict (even if you are).

2. “My ex is crazy.”

There’s a fine line between love and hate, but both are equally fueled by passion. If someone even mentions their ex on a first date, watch out, you could be entering into a three-way relationship. Brace yourself: drama ahead! Anyway, even if you are not done with your ex, keep it to your self. Your date certainly doesn’t want to hear anything about it.

3. “I would like to get married and have kids ASAP.”

Slow Down. Whether you’re a man or a woman, uttering those words automatically puts pressure on an already delicate, stressful meeting, not to mention the fact that it’s a foolproof way to scare someone off and fast.

4. “Who are you voting for?”

There’s a saying in the south about not bringing up politics or religion in polite company. Plenty of couples don’t always share political (or religious) views, and learn to make things work. But when you’re trying to make a good first impression, it’s probably best to avoid overly emotional topics in order to avoid a sparring match. (Look at it this way, if you become a couple, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to fight later!)

5. Can you pay for the bill? I’m broke.”

But common courtesy demands that the person who did the date should pay for the bill. Chances are, if your date has good manners, He/ she will suggest to split the bill into 2 so the both of you will pay together. Let’s face it, gone are the days when the guy must pay for the dinner. But no matter what the circumstances are, asking your date to pay the bill is a major turn-off.

6. “What’s your favorite TV show?”

C’mon, we can do better than that. Asking about hobbies and other interests can lead to great conversation.

7. Which University did you attend?”

Believe it or not, many people are not graduates. it’s probably better to ask something like, “Have you always lived here?” “How did you choose your career?” or another more general question that might lead you to discussing educational background. Again, it may seem strange, but for all kinds of reasons, a lot of people have negative knee-jerk reactions to this seemingly innocuous question.

8. “Can I take your picture?”

Creepy much? Try to avoid this, period.

9. “I’m poly- (fill in the blank)”

There are folks who are polyamorous (def: the desire, practice, or acceptance of having more than one loving, intimate relationship at a time with the full knowledge and consent of everyone involved); polygamist (def: the practice of marriage to more than one spouse simultaneously). Unless you met that person on a “special” site devoted to that kind of stuff, chances are your date won’t appreciate your open-minded ways.

10. “So would you come back to my place?”

Not everyone is old-fashioned about first dates. The right time to sleep with someone is up to you, but numerous informal polls, um, around the office show that when a guy propositions a woman for sex on the first date, she tends to get skived, and when a girl does the same, many dudes are likely to file her in the one night stand category. Double standard? Sure. And yes, some couples do have sex on the first date and there is nothing wrong with that. But I think you know what I’m sayin’…
