Being a single woman in today's society can be hard...I know, I know...most men think it is easier to be a woman and find a date, than it is to be a man searching for a date. Okay while I will give you partial credit for that, it isn't necessarily true. Yes, women are approached more often than men are but let's think about what type of men approach women.
These guys might all dress different but they all have the same walk or what is currently being referred to as "swagger". The guy that has that sly "every-woman-wants-me-smile" and when he walks up to you to ask you if "you want a drink?", you have a hard time believing that his head was able to fit through the door. He automatically starts complimenting the way you look, and we really like flattery (don't pretend that you don't like it) almost as much as chocolate.
You might not recognize he is a tool yet...some guys have a tool bag personality creeping around the corners of this ultimate nice-guy personality. So how to do you decipher between the real nice-guys and the tool in a sheeps clothing? Here are a few quick ways to tell.
You have to think quick (most men decide whether or not he will ask you out on a date within the first 8 minutes of an encounter, this means you need to figure out if he is a tool before he asks you out). When you shake hands, and introduce yourself make sure you get his first and last name, remember it you will need it. Next how old are you and how old does he appear? If it seems like there is a ten year difference between your ages, walk away he is a tool. He preys on the inexperience of young women such as yourself to get dates. If you have a fresh from mommies house with a wallet full of daddies money young man eying you up then avoid eye contact unless you are looking to adopt a child.
He seems within your age range (no more than 3 years older or 3 years younger than you) so now you start with the typical questions. The questions are in the column to your right.
Hopefully this will help you in the world of dating.
