Let me summarize the most common ones here. The biggest mistakes guys make on first dates are:<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-left: 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;\">1)<span style=\"font-size: 7pt;\"> <\/span>Talking about themselves too much. Trying to be interesting instead of <em>interested.<br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-left: 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;\">2)<span style=\"font-size: 7pt;\"> <\/span>Not asking questions and not listening enough.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-left: 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;\">3)<span style=\"font-size: 7pt;\"> <\/span><em>Focusing too much on sex<\/em>&#8212; either overtly or by innuendo.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-left: 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;\">4)<span style=\"font-size: 7pt;\"> <\/span><em>Not using subtleties<\/em> <em>enough<\/em> (What a woman understands)<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-left: 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;\">5)<span style=\"font-size: 7pt;\"> <\/span>Not developing sexual flow or interest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-left: 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;\">6)<span style=\"font-size: 7pt;\"> <\/span><em>Not creating future<\/em>. (A relationship is <em>all<\/em> about <em>future<\/em>.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">The first mistake that most guys make is that they go on the first date and talk all about themselves, sort of strut around telling the girl that he&#8217;s got this car, and he&#8217;s got this job and he talks and talks and talks bragging about this and that trying to impress the girl that he is a good catch.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">What a girl sees is a self-centered ego maniac that isn&#8217;t going to be able to take care of her at all, because he is not interested in her and doesn&#8217;t listen to what she has to say. Not a good relationship prospect.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Another way of saying it is that guys try to be <em>interesting.<\/em> They figure they have to be <em>interesting<\/em> for a girl to be interested in them. Sorry guys, but it doesn&#8217;t work that way. You have to be <em>interested<\/em> in the girl, not <em>interesting<\/em> to get her attention. Did you ever see two interesting people on a date. It is hilarious!\u00a0 They are both so busy trying to be interesting to the other that neither has time to be interested in the other.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">If you don&#8217;t know what I am talking about, think what makes you feel better. A girl who is <em>interested<\/em> in you? Or a girl who is telling you how cool she is, how hot she is, etc. and all kinds of other <em>interesting<\/em> things.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><em>Interesting<\/em> leads to a lot of rejection and &#8220;platonic&#8221; friendships by the way. Girls will be friends with a guy who is really <em>interesting<\/em>. Why? Girls like to be amused and entertained. <em>Interesting<\/em> men are sort of like children to them. A source of non-sexual amusement and pleasure.<\/p>\n<p>That is all we have room to talk about here, but you can get more data on the other five<span> <\/span>mistakes at: <a href=\"http:\/\/datingtorelating.com\/products\">http:\/\/datingtorelating.com\/products<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. L.
