The Dating Survival Guide - The Top Ten Tactics For Total Success
Tactic 8: Be mysterious - don't give the game away
What's sexier - a slow strip tease or flinging your clothes off? The former raises anticipation and heightens excitement. The same goes for letting a man get to know your personality and your life. You don't always have to tell him where you're going, who you've been speaking to, what you're planning for a free night, or how long it takes to do your make-up, hair and shave your legs - leave a bit of a mystery and he'll keep coming back for more.
Tactic 9: Be a bit of a bitch - in the nicest possible way
Most women are just too nice. They feel they can't have an opinion. Can't say what they'd like to do on a date. Can't stave off male pressure to have sex or even dump a guy when after two dates they know he's not the one. Tactic 9 is about setting your boundaries early and expressing them, especially when he doesn't seem to be getting the message!
Tactic 10: Be aware of dating blind spots
There are loads of 'blind spots' we need to watch out for, money being one of them. Don't get flustered over who should pay - just be straight about what you feel comfortable with. Or when he doesn't ring after taking your number. Be aware of my 'rule-of-three' - the critical hurdles of three dates, three weeks and three months. Learn how to cope with dates from hell (we've all had them!) and avoid the trap of stereotyping men. Essentially, keep your eyes open so you are as successful as possible in dating.
