What If Things Go Wrong /

Sometimes when we go out on a date, even though we’ve meticulously planned every aspect, it can go horribly, horribly wrong. But, do not fear, Dating Wizard is here to help you recover from Dating Hell and get back into Dating Heaven.

The first thing to remember is that no matter how badly things go on a date, they can be recovered if you want them to. (Take the 2005 hit film, “Hitch” for example) Sometimes, if things are too structured and planned in too much detail then if the slightest thing goes wrong, it can throw everything out. Sometimes we are better to have a planned framework for a date but then let things flow naturally.

There are several common mistakes men can easily make when dating. Here are a few things to remember:

- Being Unresponsive. What could be worse than telling someone intimate details about yourself only to be met with a blank expression. Respond, and make her feel like she is special. She may well be telling you all she is looking for in a man, and if you’re too busy talking or daydreaming you’ll miss out.

- Arrogance. There is a time and a place to show off about all your achievements, possessions, whatever. And this is not the time. Surely you want her to like you for the person you are, not for what you own.

- Too Much Too Soon. Don’t tell all on a first date. By all means answer truthfully when asked but try and keep a little back. After all, mystery is the key to keeping and maintaining interest so keep something back for later.

- Being Too Available. Covered in depth in a previous article. Try and maintain some enigma, the woman should want to get to know you, but she should want to work for it.

- Ex’s. No-one really wants to hear about them. You are starting a fresh, so don’t try and bring up the past. And definitely don’t start talking badly about them. After all, you are a nice person aren’t you. So try and let this come across.
