Dating and Relationships Tips for Men

They say a woman is the hardest creature to understand. Naturally, women say the same about men. So, perhaps the statement that men are from Mars and women are from Venus is true. Be that as it may, as men, we just want to know how we can be successful at dating and in relationships so we can lead a happy life with companionship and love. According to Simple Pickup.

“Each relationship is different; one thing might work with one couple whereas it won’t with another couple. To go even further, some men will never be or ever be in a relationship.”

It is about building on your strengths, having your own life and being sexually adventurous. With these three tools, you should be able to make your relationship last.

 Dating

 That’s all good and well, but you need to be able to be in a relationship before you can make it last. Hence, you may also need a few good tips on dating, to make sure you are actually able to get the girl. Thanks to AskMen, we know that there are a few things we should ever say to women, because it will make them run in the opposite direction faster than you can say the magic word. And no, the magic word is not “please” or “thank you”, but rather “sorry”.

 “Do not gush/ discuss/ mention your ex-girlfriend on a date. Ever.Your romantic, blissful holidays together, dates to the same bar you’d take her to, detailing why you broke up without prompting — all awful.”

As men, we think that these stories show that we are good boyfriend material and that we know how to show a girl a good time. We think that we prove that we spend money on our significant other and that this is a commendable trait. However, all the girl will hear is that you are still in love with your ex and that is something she will not, ever want to have to deal with.

 Online Dating

We live in the 21st century and everything is done online, including dating. Some of us struggle to get to grips with online dating, and a few hints and tips to make our experience a whole lot better will never go amiss. When you are looking for tips on dating and relationships, you should attach far more importance to tips from women than to those from men. Sure, you can get tips from Steve McQueen or even George Clooney, both true babe magnets, but it is only women who really know what they like. This is why the following tips, which come straight from Oprah herself, are far more valuable than any other tips you will ever get. Not in the least because she has been in a happy relationship for many, many years.

 “Though once considered the sole province of the nerdy and socially challenged, online dating has come a long way. According to online dating site Match.com, more than 20,000 people register to use the site every day. eHarmony says it has 20 million registered users on its roster and according to a recent study it commissioned, the dating site is responsible for 2 percent of all marriages in the United States. How are all of these people finding success in love online? According to experts, honesty, patience and a well-thought-out profile are all anyone needs to find true love.”

 Setting Up an Online Profile

The key to being successful in online dating is to use a good – and truthful – online dating profile. According to About.com, it all starts with your “handle”, which is your user name.

 “Not only does your handle need to be unique, it also needs to be personal, interesting and somehow indicative of who you are, without being off putting, too long or a challenge to pronounce.”

 Being honest and thinking long and hard about what you are going to write is equally important of course.

 Online Relationships

One of the benefits – or drawbacks – of online dating is that you have the potential to meet someone who is nowhere near your own geographical location. It is absolutely possible to fall in love with someone you have never met and to build a long, meaningful and lasting relationship. Hopefully, this will eventually turn into a physical relationship in which you are both actually together, in person. However, until that time, you may need some hints and tips to make sure your online relationship will last. According to Essortment.com.

 “Any long-distance relationship is painful, especially at first. If your significant other is not within driving distance (or worse, in another country) you will find yourself looking for ways to keep your romance going without breaking any hearts. This can be much more difficult than it sounds, but it is very possible.”

Start by realizing you have something many relationships don’t have,which is communication. Communication should be the foundation of any good relationship and when you are in an online relationship, all you can do is talk and listen. Share scans and screenshots or pictures of things you have done during the day to make sure you are both part of the same world. Make sure you invest in a webcam. As much as you may fall in love with a profile picture and the words on a screen, there is nothing like actually seeing someone and hearing her as well. There are plenty of programs out there like Skype that allow you to communicate for free. It is certainly true that you can’t take her out on a real date; it would look very weird to sit in front of your tablet in a restaurant or movie theater. Although, if you are adventurous and don’t care about a few funny stares, you may want to give it a go. When in an online relationship, you have to work very hard to make sure it becomes a real relationship eventually, but you also have to put in the effort of maintaining your relationship.
