Dating is a two way affair and a woman has to be able to do her bit to make a date a success. For any date to be successful and lead on to a meaningful relationship, women have to work as hard as men and take responsibility for doing and saying the right things; so here are a few basic dating tips for women theres a lot more to dating, but these should help you to get on the right path. Keep in mind that everyone has baggage from the past and allowing your past to affect how you behave on a date is a sure way to ruin the evening forget the past, this is now. Perhaps you do not let the past affect your mood but you do talk about your exes in disparaging terms no man wants to her that men are rotten human beings and the one you are with may begin to wonder if he will be next on your list.

Keep your personal problems to yourself, at least in the beginning men have a set concept of what is romantic and what is not and talking about your stomach problems or how you cant use public restrooms will destroy any chance of his viewing you as the object of his affections. You will get a lot of advice on the importance of honesty and openness and its all true but the first few dates are not the time to tell him about what an irritating or high maintenance person you can be at times save that for later when you know each other better. Be careful of how much you drink getting drunk is a big turn off for the guys, unless his intensions are less than honorable. And should you get drunk, you will be in no position to watch his behavior for things you like and also dislike; and even worse, if you cant recall how you behaved, how will you know what you may have let yourself in for?

Do not feel awkward when a conversation pauses for a few moments let it restart naturally and spend those few moments watching his body language or letting your eyes meet, if you want to. A woman can make to first move towards getting a date, but after you ask the guy out, do not let him feel he is being chased guys fear not being in control and that affects their image of themselves and their idea of being macho.
