One thing that can make a difference in making a girl like you or not is perception. Dating girls is not just about getting their number and going out it is also about keeping them interested and want to discover more about you.

A way to do that is to make them perceive that you a knowledgable and resourceful. When I talk about resourcefulness it doesn't mean being able to get on a guestlist at a club or being able to make a dinner reservation at the last minute.

Start small, find out what she wants to do/likes. It could be as simple as a conversation about desserts. Find out what her favourite dessert is, e.g. cheesecake and tell her you know this great place that does cheesecake. She'll love to find out and see whether it's true.

Just be sure though that you do have a place, and make sure it is good!

Good luck and she might even let you have a bite.

The one thing I have learnt over the years is there is nothing worse than walking up to a girl and looking nervous. The nervous energy just makes them feels nervous and in turn makes the whole atmosphere awkward.

Tip: Even if you are nervous, put on a persona, imagine you are a super confident guy, or if that's difficult, vision someone who you admire that is confident and pretend to be him.

Stick your chest out, keep your head held high and when you approach, smile and say hi.

Takes some practice for soon you'll see even the smallest change can make the girl's reaction much more positive. Don't be suprised if she smiles back. (it means it's working!)

Good luck guys.

Dating and chatting to women is probably one of the most tricky things that we do in our lives.
There's no clear cut answers and it's easier to jump ahead too quickly. What isn't ever said, is the unspoken rules of flirting - that means via email, text and any other text based communication.

This is difficult - the point is to find out more about someone but without sounding boring and actually finding out something useful. Sure favourite music, or hobbies is ok, but it doesn't tell you much about their actual personality or how they think, that in the end is the most imporant factor of compatibility.

So here's a few questions I've come up with that add a bit of intruige and fun, feel free to use.

1) If you could only eat one thing for the rest of your life, what would it be?
(you find out her favourite food or achilles heel)

2) If you had a dinner party and you could only invite 5 people, but the catch is they are already dead, who would you invite?
(She will pick the most important people she either admires or cares for)

3) If you could possess any expert skill without the need to learn it, what would it be? e.g. World Class swimmer, Run marathons etc
(Aspirations and dreams)

4) If you could only choose one other place to be kissed on your body other than your lips, where would it be? (Obvious)

We've all been there on a date with the best intentions. We actually finally found someone we like and want the date to turn out really well. Unfortunately, without realising it, we could be commit the ultimate crimes of bad date conversations. Read below for some things NOT to talk about.

Agreeing with everything he/she says on a first date.
Being a 'Yes' person is not good. People like people with opinions, and there's nothing worse than someone who hasn't got one. It's good to have passion and it creates a strong attraction for someone to see that. It means you actually care about something, and hopefully that means you would have the similar strength of desire for them, if anything develops.

Discussing yours and her dating life on a first date.
It's good to open up but not about your love life on your first date. If it comes up, keep it to a minimum. It can add indirect added pressure to the situation and make the other person have pre-judgements about what kind of person you are. Too many lovers may seem you only care about sex, a couple of really long relationships may seem that you want to commit quickly. Either way, change subject.

Talking about how much you earn.
Sometimes this works, especially if you want to get together with a gold-digger. For the average person though this is probably a topic that should always be avoided. Again, judgements can easily be made, too much, too little, security... everyone has their reasons but most of all, it shouldn't matter.

Making a conversation last longer than it should
You get nervous, you talk more, you're running out of conversations so you end up repeating yourself over and over again trying to make it last longer. Learn to stop and admit to yourself that this conversation is on its last legs. Either look for a new conversation starter but if all fails make your excuses, say you're going to the toilet, quick phone call, regain your thoughts and start again with some new ammunition. If all fails, cut the evening short and say you had a great time.
