			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are a lot of men who won’t ask a woman out simply because they think they will be rejected. With a little research, you can be sure to have the courage and confidence you need to ask any girl out, and do it the right way. Whether you have known her for a while or if you just met her, these tips should help you successfully get a date her.</p>
<p><strong>Become her friend.</strong></p>
<p>Getting to know a girl is one of the most important parts of getting the date. You will want to know some things about her so you can properly arrange for a date that will keep her interested. Getting to know certain things she likes, and certain things she doesn’t like is key to a good date. Let her know that you are not a boring person, and that you are able to have fun doing anything without letting her expectations down. However, in the case that the girl really isn’t interested in going on a date, you do not want to push her in any way.</p>
<p><strong>Make her comfortable.<br />
</strong><br />
It is fairly simple to tell whether or not the girl you are interested in is comfortable being around you. You should be able to notice any signs that might indicate that she likes being in your company, and if you two share the same interests you should arrange to do something that you both have in common. One good idea for this is drinking coffee. If you both enjoy coffee, then arrange to meet her again in a place where you can talk over a few cups of coffee.</p>
<p><strong>Make the date.<br />
</strong><br />
You need to be gracious when you ask a girl out on a date. You do not want to embarrass her or make her feel pressured, so stay away from public places. Try not to arrange for a date in front of her friends because they may make her feel like she has to go on a date, or make her think that she shouldn’t. Another thing to keep in mind is she will need time to prepare, so give her plenty of time in advance to get ready for your date. Arrange for a time that you will pick her up, or make sure she knows what time to meet you, and where exactly you are going to be going.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>No matter how good you are at getting a date, there are times when you might not be as sure a woman likes as you want to be. So for those days when you have your doubts, you can keep these five simple signs in mind, to help you determine if she is as into you as you think. If you notice any of these signs then chances are she really is interested.</p>
<p><strong>1. She looks you over.</strong><br />
When you are trying to get a date with a girl, you should always make sure you are dressed properly, and are not slouching at any point. This is because the girl will be looking you over at various times, she will look at you in a way that is almost like she is scanning you for any flaws. Her eyes will move from your head on down, and then back up to your head again.<br />
<strong><br />
2.She will smile at you.<br />
</strong>After looking you over, she will determine whether or not she likes what she see. If she does, than she will smile at you to let you know she is in fact interested. Depending on how up front she is about what she thinks of you, her smile might be quick, or bold.</p>
<p><strong>3.She talks to you.</strong><br />
When a girl is interested she will find any reason to come over and talk to you. She may snag one of your friends and have them introduce her to you, or, she may just boldly walk up to you and start chatting.<br />
<strong><br />
4.You get her number.<br />
</strong>Depending on her personality, whether she is upfront or more reserved, she will give you her phone number. No matter how she does it, be it with an excuse for you to call her, or just plain and simply gives it to you flat out, her intentions are for you to get in touch with her.<br />
<strong><br />
5.You have been singled out.<br />
</strong>If you are in a room with tons of other guys, and yet she comes over to talk to you, and only you, then you know she truly is interested. She had the chance to get to know other guys in the room, and give other guys her phone number, and yet you were the one she chose. Once that is the case, you can start to plan on making arrangements for a first date.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many times women seem to think they need to be gorgeous in order to get a guy. This really isn’t the case. There are things you can do to get a man to be attracted to you without having to bust out of your shirt or have the hair of a goddess. While you may have to make a bit more of an effort, you will see that your attempts will pay off.</p>
<p>Like I just said, you do not have to be a stunning goddess to get a man. There are plenty of average, and less than average, women that do not ever have a hard time getting a man whenever they want to. You also don’t have to worry about having to settle for any guy that is less than gorgeous himself.</p>
<p>So by now you are probably trying to figure out just what it is you have to do, or you are urging me to get on with it already! Well, the first thing you need to do is to have confidence. If you don’t have the confidence you need already, you can simply put on an outfit you may not have worn in a while. Dress yourself up because when you feel like your attractive, you will have confidence, and that confidence will shine through to the guys.</p>
<p>Next, get out without making yourself appear to be desperate. What I mean by that is, you are going to need to get noticed without making the guys think that you are desperately searching for a mate. Use your newly found confidence to your advantage, get a guy to want to talk to you and have fun. If you can make the guy think that you don’t need to be talking to him, he will become more intrigued with you.</p>
<p>And last, but definitely not least, you need to have a plan. Having a plan before going out and trying to pick up the first guy you see is very important. As with anything else in life, some things are better when you wing it, and others work out best when you have a well thought out course of action. Learn how to properly talk to a man, take more steps to get yourself noticed, and finally, learn some secrets for getting a guy to fall head over heels in love with you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is a natural tendency for people entering a new relationship to try and make themselves appear to be something more than they believe themselves to be. The thought process behind this is fairly rational, up to a point. The attitude that many people have goes something like the following: “He/she cannot possibly be interested in me for who I am. I’m too boring – I need to appear more interesting.”. Although this is a perfectly common rationale, it misses one key point – he or she clearly is interested. Any pretence is unnecessary. If you want to be more interesting, it needs to be a decision made for you. Only then can you fully commit to it and do it properly.</p>
<p>The problem with artifice and pretence is that they require a lot of work in order to be convincing. Honesty really is the best policy and not only because it is morally the right thing, but also because honesty is the natural thing. Telling the truth relies only on remembering what you have done. Lying relies on remembering what you have said, without the concrete memories to back it up. Sooner or later, you forget what lies you have told and you trip yourself up.</p>
<p>Being honest is rewarded with trust. If you tell a lie and are caught out, you lose a bit of trust, and once that goes it almost never returns. If you are later suspected of having done something of which you are truly innocent, your previous lie will work against your partner believing you. So even if it is only because of how it may come back to haunt you, be honest and be yourself.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is little doubt that a new relationship can put a spring in your step. Just knowing that someone considers you to be worth spending time with, and that they are someone you would be happy with, makes a big difference. There are also drawbacks to this feeling. It is all to easy to fall quickly and deeply for someone, and it is not uncommon for people’s work to be affected because they spend any time that they have apart from their new love thinking about them. At its worst, it can lead to paranoia about the relationship ending suddenly.</p>
<p>Although it is completely normal to become smitten with a new boyfriend or girlfriend, it is important to proceed with caution. The temptation may be to call them a few times a day, give them gifts whenever you see them and write to them when you are neither with them or talking to them – love can easily be that powerful. However, it is important to be conscious that appearing too keen can spook someone. They may feel that they have to live up to an impossible impression, or that you want something more than they do – or just that you are getting too involved too quickly.</p>
<p>If you have to make a conscious effort to find other things to do with your time, then that is what you must do. Placing undue pressure on a relationship does no good – it needs time and space to grow healthily. Though this may be difficult to keep to, you need to give yourself the best chance of making things work.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When embarking on a dating relationship with someone new, it is important to be aware of the ways that things can go wrong, and to avoid these as far as possible. The unavoidable fact is that many times, a new relationship can follow on the footsteps – for you or for the person you are dating – of a relationship which ended recently. This raises the very difficult question of how to deal with the ex. The end of a relationship invariably generates strong feelings, and it is how these feelings are dealt with that can make or break a new relationship.</p>
<p>For the person who is coming off a broken relationship, the range of possible feelings is extremely variable. It may be that you (or the person you are dating) still have feelings for the ex, especially if it was they that broke it off. The question of whether someone in such a situation should be dating at all is a tough one. It can help in getting over the old relationship, or it can complicate the new one. Additionally, there is the question of bitterness. If a person recently out of a relationship talks in a bitter, even insulting manner about an ex, it will invariably raise the question “Will they talk about me like that if we don’t work?”.</p>
<p>It is important that there is honesty in any relationship. Without it, a relationship will wither and die on the vine. Confront any old feelings before going any further, and you have a chance. Letting them fester will just ruin anything good that you could have.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sometimes a first date goes so well that you know there and then that you want to have a second date. The date is duly arranged for a week or so in the future, and one of you – we’ll say for the sake of this example that it is you – promises to call the other at some point in between the dates. This could be to firm up details, to chat with one another or for any number of other reasons. The age in which we live dictates that we must leave a certain amount of time before calling. But how soon is too soon, and how long is too long?</p>
<p>It is received wisdom that anything less than 24 hours comes across as being “too keen”. If the previous date went spectacularly well, however, this rule can be waived in most cases. It simply makes sense to take advantage of the positive impression you will have of one another in the wake of a successful date. Otherwise, it is permissible to have a single day in between – if your date was on the Thursday, you can mandate Friday for a night of DVDs with a friend, then call on the Saturday. Leaving it any longer may be seen as stringing someone along – which should be avoided.</p>
<p>The above rules are, of course, not binding, and you can make your own decisions depending on the situation. However, it should always be remembered that after the first date, “playing hard to get” becomes less endearing and more like a method of torture.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As much hope as we sometimes invest in a date, there is rarely any guarantee that it will go as we had hoped. The very reason that you go on a date is to find out if you like the other person enough to spend more time with them – and if they feel the same way about you. Sometimes, however, a date can go so badly that you want to end it prematurely. If both parties can agree civilly to do this, then it’s better for all concerned. If, however, the decision to call a halt is unilateral, it is worth having an exit strategy in place. This does not need to be planned like a military operation – but it is worth having back-up in case things go very badly.</p>
<p>Taking a cell phone with you is always wise. Planning with a friend that they call you at a pre-ordained time to make sure all is well allows a possible exit strategy. When the phone goes, look at the display and say “Sorry, I have to take this”, and answer in such a way as to make the escape easier. If you could do with back-up, a code word is an idea. For example, the code word is “fish”. You answer the phone, say “Hello?”, allow your friend to speak and then say “Oh no! Are the fish OK?”. They can then come to your rescue – in case the date turns nasty. If, however, you just want an excuse to leave without being too cruel to the person you are with, you can use the phone call as an excuse to leave. It may not be a nice thing to do, but sometimes you need to look out for yourself.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The undeniable truth that everyone who has ever had a bad date can tell you is that sometimes the spark just is not there, no matter how much you want it to be. A personal connection is not something that you can manufacture and if it isn’t there at all on the first date, the chances of it appearing later on are limited. Rather than blaming anyone, or trying to invent a feeling that isn’t really there, sometimes calling time and parting the ways is the most grown-up reaction. It is easy to get drawn into believing that you need to conform to a certain stereotype, and go into a date with that in mind. This strategy is doomed to fail.</p>
<p>One of the most frequently used pieces of advice anyone will ever hear is “be yourself”. It has been known to send individuals into a furious rage at the mere use of the first syllable. People do not like cliché, but the fact of the matter is that sometimes clichés become clichés because they are true. And you would be well advised to always try to be yourself, for one very good reason if nothing else – eventually, if you put on an act, that act will come to pieces. At that point it is a lot more difficult to regain your dignity and someone else’s trust than if you were honest to begin with.</p>
<p>You can’t make anyone like you if there is no connection there – but if someone is going to like you, it’s better that they like you for you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The joys of dating are many and varied, and experiencing them all is a part of life that should be appreciated for the rare gift that it is. Being in the company of someone who makes you laugh, someone who looks at the world in a way that endears them to you, and someone who knows how to make you feel good is a feeling that cannot be bought. However, it is rare that this will happen naturally on the first meeting. If you are going to employ a strategy where dating is concerned, the most important thing is to make sure that you do not make yourself look either arrogant or meek. Being interesting company requires a balanced approach.</p>
<p>The key to this approach is knowing when to talk and when to listen – or as some would have it, when to talk and when to stop talking. You need to get the balance right. Staying silent all the time will make your date wonder what is wrong with you – or what is wrong with them. Either way it can bring a date to a disappointing end. Talk about yourself, but do not feel the need to share every detail about you. “I like to go to the movies every couple of weeks – even if there’s nothing good on it can be fun to see a stinker” is pretty good. “When I was seven I locked my sister in the garage for six hours” is not. Gauge their reaction and listen to what they have to say too. Don’t get drawn into feeling that the sole purpose of listening is to have something to do while waiting to talk again. A steady flow of conversation is a prime sign of a good date.</p>
