Dating Tips for Men

Don’t focus so much on treating a woman like a woman, or questioning how a woman should be treated; rather, treat her as a human being, as you would like to be treated.

Women have passions and interests that may different (but may not be) than those men have. Understand what those are.

To some degree, men would love their women to be involved in their interests and passions, at the same time wanting their independence. Try to understand that women will have their own passions and interests and these may be different than yours. Accept them. Do some research into them. You might find that you are interested in some of the same areas they are. It could be gardening for example.

Look at yourself in the mirror. Look at your self esteem issues. Are you insecure ? do you have to be an expert in everything? Do not try to present that.

Two heads are better than one. Many women can offer excellent advice in many areas. If you put your heads together and work together as a team, you may find your relationship dramatically improves.

Understand that physiologically there are differences. This is not a myth; there are hormonal changes. This is very real, and definitely affects emotions. Be respectful of that.

The woman you are dating was, and still is, someone’s daughter. If you have a daughter, think about that. That should help you in terms of your respect and treatment.

Be aware of what Peace & Healing calls red flags in people’s personalities. A red flag is a warning sign, something that you may have a visceral reaction to. Has this woman been hurt in the past? Is she hyper-vigilant? Is she calling you daily, after the 4th or 5th date? Is she very concerned about where you are, not necessarily concerned about your well-being, but concerned that you are going to be cheating on her? Is she overwhelming, a blanket in other words?

Is she willing to be intimate rather quickly? Wanting to do anything to keep the relationship alive? Does she feels if she does this, you will then stay with her?

Be careful and observe for enabling. It is extremely unhealthy for both parties. There is a difference between being enabling and being helpful and a partner in a relationship.

Is she materialistic? It’s one thing having nice things and nice items, but do you have to have the nice items for show, in order to create an image? This is much different than wanting nice, high quality items.
