Dating has evolved over the last fifty years, and with the evolution of online dating and streamlined air travel the world has become smaller.  What I mean by that is simple; you can wake up in Florida hop on a plane and be in Los Angeles in about five hours as long as you have the means to purchase a plane ticket.  This gives you access to thousands more potential dates than you could have had about five decades ago, so with all of these choices and ways to meet people why would you bet the farm on one person?  To say it in a traditional sense, why would you put all of your eggs in one basket? Too many people are focusing all of their time and effort on one person without having a backup plan just in case it does not work out.  This is a common mistake and should be avoided at… [Read more]

We often hear the many ways that men mess up their chances with women, or turn women off with merely a few words out of their mouth.  It can be the difference between having a great time with someone, and having a boring time with the same person.  We are going to present four ways a woman can turn a man off, as this topic does not seem be covered all that much these days.  It is important to remember it does not take much to turn someone off, and if you follow these general guidelines it can help you keep a man’s interest in you. 1) Act Like A Flake One of the most common things I hear men complain about when dealing with women, they either can’t commit to plans or constantly flakes on them.  If you regularly pencil in your plans with a “maybe” and/or cancel plans at the last minute, you’re… [Read more]

Editor’s Note: I had to repost this article here at the Hall from The Marksman due to the importance of a woman’s father in the way that she treats you (the man) in your relationship. A woman’s father can make your relationship heaven or hell without him even knowing who you are. there have been studies on this phenomenon and all roads lead to a woman’s father being the scale for which she judges other men who will enter her adult life. Scary, I know. A common theme today is people having issues with their family, and we will address both sides of the coin in separate articles.  This one will focus on women who have issues with their fathers, we have all seen or know people like this.  It materializes when she appears to be seeking attention from men in order to compensate for the attention she may not have received from her father….

1. Let the man (always) pay the bill Can all the new age women stand up!  I am still a firm believer that the if a guy asks a woman out he should pay for the date, but there is nothing wrong with a woman stepping up and paying her part of the tab.  It is probably one of the best moves a woman can make if she isn’t interested in the guy he can’t say she took advantage of the situation and if she is interested it will make a big impression on the guy she is with.  Men go into the date expecting  to pay the bill, but when a woman says she will pay her own way she is going to differentiate herself from all the other women the guy may be talking to.  Inevitably you will still have the petty “free meal” women who go on dates just so they can… [Read more]

Ladies, if a man took the time to ask you out, then he had at least enough interest to want to get to know you better.  A date is NOT a relationship.  A date or even three or more does NOT MEAN that this guy is your boyfriend! Women ask, but how can I tell if a guy is interested in me?  We went out on a date and had a great time together I would like to see him again, but I am confused.  I wonder if I failed to send out the right signals to let him know I was interested, or if he was just ignoring my signals because he was not interested.  So how can I tell if the interest is mutual?  What signs should I look for to know a man is interested in me or not? First of all women need to get the notion that men can “read”… [Read more]

It’s a new year and whether you make New Year’s resolutions or not, you should ditch bad habits regardless.  Some of those bad habits pertain to your dating life, and people have been using the same “rules” when they meet someone new for years.  Well some of those rules are old and not valid anymore, and you can easily argue that some were never valid.  Dating evolves just like everything else in this world, and you need to ditch these old rules and try something different. 1. Wait for the guy to call you Women seem to think that they should wait for a guy to call them because they don’t want to look “too” interested in him.  Well calling someone you just met is normal, and you don’t have to profess your love for the guy when you call him.  Just having a nice, getting to know you conversation will suffice, trust me the… [Read more]

You Took Too Long, Let’s Just Be Friends “The professional man has time on his side, and he is not going to deviate from his plan just because he sees a pretty face.” There are only a select few times when a man and woman can be friends even when there is attraction involved – 1. You were co-workers or classmates, 2. You are his friend’s girlfriend, wife or cool ex, 3. You are his cool ex (you broke up as an agreement not out of malice), and finally 4. You are a friend’s family member. If you aren’t in this list of 4 then you cannot be my friend, most guys will 100% co-sign on this point – blank  - period. This way there are no illusions on whether I can get in those draws sometime in the near future (which is what most guys will keep you around for) and you have no… [Read more]

At a very young age our parents have always taught us that being nice to people was a great quality to have.  Think about all the times when you were young and you didn’t want to share your toys with the other kids, and your parents told you to “be nice”.  Also remember the saying of “treat people how you want to be treated”? Those were all concepts and theories that was taught to us when we were growing up.  Unfortunately when it comes to relationships there are times when you can be too nice, too selfless, and too considerate.  When those types of features are present it can put your current relationship or your chances of getting that person you are pursuing in jeopardy.  Here are a few examples to help you see if you fall into that category of the person that’s “too nice”. One of the first signs people pick up on… [Read more]
