Looking for a little guidance when it comes to dating and meeting women? Not to worry, you’ve come to the right place.

Dating can be extremely frustrating for men—it’s hard to figure out what women actually want! What do you wear? What do you say? The mysteries of women will never be completely revealed, but we can certainly come as close as we can to help you find a woman you like, ask her out, and embark on a successful relationship. With the right approach and knowledge, communicating with a woman can be more than just a frustrating mystery!

• Look your best – Ship-shape and bristol fashion. Believe it or not, Women will always look at your footwear, it’s time to ditch the Nikes and invest in some swarv, stylish shoes. Wear clothes that actually fit you, suit you and are contemporary. This means no baggy jeans, hoodys and jog pants. If you lack formal clothing, deck out your entire wardrobe, remember it’s for a worthwhile cause. Purchase a nice tailored suit, there’s no reason not to! Think of it this way, if you can’t look after yourself, how are you supposed to take care of her?

• Hygiene and styling – Take a trip down to the barbers and clean up your hair, have it styled if possible. If you don’t have much hair, don’t worry, still get down to the salon! Consider getting your head shaved, or just get a regular shave, a professional shave will leave your face looking and feeling great. Men are are often criticized for smelling bad, all the more reason to go shopping for cologne (deodorant) and a grooming kit. Get into a regular showering routine so you will always smell fresh and clean, it’s hygienically very important and women appreciate it.

• Big Boozer – Do not divulge the virtues of drinking in the bar 7 nights a week with the lads. This will never win any fair princess’s heart. If you do spend the majority of your time boozing with the boys, it’s time to take a step back and pick up some more productive habit, other than the PS3 or Xbox. Taking your lady for a drink is perfectly fine, especially if you take her to a sophisticated cocktail bar, but give them the impression that you live there will get you absolutely nowhere fast!

• In the know – It’s important to make sure you are up-to-date with the current affairs. Watch the news and read the papers, women do not appreciate stupidity, laziness is no excuse for sounding dumb.

• Career and Ambitions – Women want a man who has some ambition in life, some direction and a general need for success. Any job is better than none, just remember to keep your head down and aim for a target, whether it be promotion or a pay rise. It’s inevitable a woman will ask you about your current job, plans and future ambitions, be prepared for these questions. Even if they pretend it isn’t important, it is!

• Never expect sex on a first date – If all you are after is sex or a quick bunk-up, you have come to the wrong place for reading material and advice. If you are looking for the girl of your dreams, there is nothing sexier than a patient man. All men are easily capable of waiting for the right woman, prove it!

• Manners - Manners are extremely important, a woman likes being treated with respect. Lose the vulgar language, the swear words, the rudeness and the outright laziness. Know how to eat in a posh restaurant. Know about fashion, jewelry and flowers. Know how to hold a door open for a woman, let her go first and remember to assist her with her seat. Listen to what she says but express opinions of your own too. Show her respect and manners at every given opportunity and you’ll be on the right path.

• Hush, and listen! – Start listening and stop talking. Keep your date interested but don’t turn into a one-man circus, it’s not attractive. She will bore of you quickly, she will want to talk about herself too. Listen to things she tells you about her, don’t let it go in one ear and out of the other. Women love to chat so you need to learn to listen to her. Remembering things she told you will impress her even more.

• NO smoking! – There’s nothing worse than a date stinking of cigarettes. A perfect excuse to quit!

• Hit the dancefloor – Learn to dance, even if you have two left feet. Women just love to dance, it’s romantic and sexy and it puts you both in close contact. You could be the world’s worst dancer, it’s no problem, but if you stay seated when she is on that dance floor you may as well not exist. Consider joining salsa and ballroom classes. You don’t need to be John Travolta but you should have an idea of the basics of rhythm.

• Fan Status – If you love your sports and enjoy watching the game with your friends, and let’s face it, most men do, great! However if sport is a religion and you have your favorite teams emblem tattooed on your back, you may have a problem. If you are completely serious about dating, rattling off game scores, ranting about unfair decisions and constantly checking the score will put them off in record timing. A vast majority of women love sports too, and rooting for the same team is great, but don’t turn your passion into a one-sided one.
