I think we have established the fact that I am NOT a dating professional. I haven't been doing it for long. Nor do I hope to. But I think there are a few things that should be standard throughout dating. Men don't seem to understand the signals they send, and that women are capable of reading them. It's instinctual; we are born with the inane ability to read between the lines of all your actions. So...
1. If you don't pay the first time we go out, we do not think you are at all interested. If you had any class whatsoever, or any interest, I should say, you would pay for the first date. Women dig that! Go figure, we think it's a romantic gesture. So if you want a second date (or second base) then pay, darn it.
2. There is nothing worse than talking to a guy on the phone, or even texting him, and then meeting him and seeing he is completely nonchalant. Would it kill you to act interested? Guys try too hard to play it cool, but I cannot understand why. You think I am going to want to hang out with you some more if you act like I am the LAST person you want to be with? I've said it before, and I will say it again: Act interested! One guy... we had gotten to talking. A LOT. Yes, I met him on a dating site, so nost of our "talking" was done through emails. But we also talked on the phone, and I was pretty psyched to meet the guy. When I finally do... Jesus, it was like pulling teeth to get this dude to even talk to me. Seriously, his answer to everything was, "Whatever." Wow, that's hot. You have no mind. I thought it was a total waste of my time. Fifteen minutes after the date ended, I got a text saying he had a great time and looked forward to it again. Well, not me, brother. Move on.
3. Women like to talk. I don't mean anything sideways about that, we simply like to talk, whether it's about our day, our job, whatever. You don't have to care about what we say, just pay some attention to it. Let us open up to you. It seems as if when men open up to women, the heavens smile down upon Earth and the human race can live happily ever after. But if a woman does it, it's just plain annoying. The fact that we are making oursevles, our emotions, our hearts vulnerable to you should say a lot. So have some respect, indulge us, listen to us. You are not the only one in the world who gets to have a bad day.
4. If you have nothing to talk about except other women... again, we don't think you are interested. You are simply reminding us that we have competition. And we are probably not in the running. We don't want to be one OF a million, we want to be one IN a million. So don't expect a second date if you are going to go on about the other women listed in your little black book.
5. Speaking of little black books, if you ask us about ours, we think you're sleaxy. Don't do it, at least not yet.
Enough of my ramblings. If anyone has any insight into male behavior, let me know. Please.
