Dating 101 - Intro to Dating (Part 1)

Welcome to part 1 of my 4 part series on dating! Inspired by a blog from Paul, I have decided to tell you everything I know about men, women, boys, girls and dating. I will try to be as unbiased as possible, but Im going to be taking up for the males here mostly.

To understand dating, we must first define:
"An engagement to go out socially with another person, often out of romantic interest".

So sayeth Lord Webster.

Before the dating process, however, lies the hardest part, getting a date. And thats what todays lesson is all about!

Ok guys, the key, is confidence. You want to come across as confident yet not cocky. To do this you must first be comfortable with yourself. If your feeling insecure or nervous about your appearance, your already dead. I would say it starts with proper groom and dress.

Lets say, in Pauls case, he knows he's going to tell a girl how he feels about her. He might want to go ahead and dress well for the occasion, something that he looks good in and feels good in. Also guys, SHOWER! Some people really stink in this world, you could look like Brad Pitt but if you smell like Arm Pitt, youve already lost, so shower. Also, some nice cologne is good to, you really wanna smell good. So lets see, so far we've learned that we want to dress and smell good, (because women are all about that superficial crap).

Ok, we're looking, smelling and feeling good, we see the girl, so whats next? Quite possibly the hardest part, the encounter, telling her how you feel, and asking her out.

Wouldnt it be great if we still lived in the old days when all you had to do was see a pretty woman and you got to LEGALLY club her over the head, pick her up, take her home and have your way with her? However, due to some poorly considered legislation, this is now illegal. So we must abandon our "hunting" instincts and settle into a more gentle approach, talking... Gross.

No matter how many times your practice in the mirror, or how many conversations you have in you head about how "its gunna go", it always seems to come out all fucked up. "Hi, um, I just wanted to say that um, I, um , your um.... what time is it?... Thanks".

If youve got something to say, say it, and be confident. And for the love of God DONT use any pick up lines... Ive actually heard a guy use one, being serious, and I was SO embarrassed for him, and just embarrassed to be a Guy in the surrounding area. Let it come from the heart... or whatever organ you use to think/feel from, and just be true. Dont be conrny or try to "create a moment", be real and ask her out, and dont stutter, remember, confidence!

Oh, and last but not least. EYE CONTACT!!! That means mainting your eyes on her eyes, not only is this more romantic and all that BS, but it lets her know that your interested in her, and not the female anatomy just south of her neck. I know its hard not to look, but come on guys, you can hold out for a little while.

Well thats all for today kiddies, join us next week when I tackle the First Dates Do's and Donts!
