There’s a need for change. It’s high time all gentlemen learn these tips before dating in this present age. Frankly, I strongly believe that every young man should cultivate these traits that will be elaborated on below in the next few paragraphs.
Why are these dating tips essential for gentlemen?
The answer is straightforward and plain; it is to help erode the negative impact that current dating experiences are causing in people’s lives. The missing link for this happening is –lack of knowledge on dating tips. Both males and females need this information to stay joyful in dating.
What is Dating?
Dating is an old word. Let’s explore it. In this modern day, dating refers to the social practice of meeting and spending time with potential romantic partners — a term that reflects both time and connection.
In today’s world, dating has become associated with a great deal of meaning. Understanding what dating means will help you learn the tips to engage in it properly.
That’s why every man must learn these tips. So, now let’s delve deeper into the tips gentlemen should know before dating. Can we set the ball rolling? Then come with me on this trip.
ETIQUETTE IS A REQUIREMENT
I believed my previous relationships or dating didn’t work perfectly because, this etiquette issue wasn’t part of me. I had this challenge of being uncontrolled and not ready to submit to a partner’s idea. It was a battle to show respect and being humble to the woman I dated.
When I looked behind and saw the kind of ladies I dated, they were the best for me. However, my problem was lack of etiquette. Fortunately, I discovered there was something wrong during a deep meditation.
Then, I called my ex-girlfriend to find out from her what she never liked about me when we were dating. She boldly pointed it out, ‘You don’t respect me, not humble, and not being punctual.’ I wept on the phone.
As a result, I went in search of materials on dating. I found a book written by the late Dr. Myles Munroe titled “Waiting and Dating.” I bought it and read it over and over until it sinks into my mind, soul, and body.
From there, I knew etiquette is a requirement for dating. If you want to stay satisfied in your relationship as a gentleman, then humbly adopt this lesson. And also, you need to learn this as a gentleman before dating.
AUTHENTICITY IS ATTRACTIVE
Anytime I entered into any relationship, this was the first statement of mine: I am going to be faithful till the end. Honesty is better than being a perfectionist. My current partner and I met strangely. We came into contact with each other via Facebook.
When a post made from me, she comment and the positive vibes were encouraging. She invited to church program which I couldn’t make it. So, I decide to pay a visit and apologized for not honoring the invite. Guess what; she took me out on a date.
Fast forward, I proposed and she accepted it. With positive attitude and good manners, you are good to go. Don’t fake to be genuine. Being truthful and to yourself is the gateway to being truthful to others. Women appreciate honesty more than perfection. Authenticity is the platform to attract.
CONFIDENCE WILL WIN HER HEART
I used to be a very shy person. My first date showed me pepper. Though she loved me, I was afraid getting closer to her. Something funny here; I remembered those days, she would force me to talk with her! I won’t be able to look into her eyes for a second.
As time went by, I learned to develop my confidence. After I developed this trait, the shyness was off. Now, we enjoy our company together. You impress by being confident, not arrogant. Confidence is simply sticking with your values.
Arrogance shows insecurity in the eyes of the lady. This is what happens when confidence is again; stand tall, speak calmly, and smile a lot. Listen more than you talk. Why? It’s a key to impress your lady. During the date, you listened more to make the conversation lovely and enjoyable.
This art shows how mature you are and how balanced you are emotionally. Respond thoughtfully to any question. Your appearance is another factor.
How you look speaks a volume about you. You have looked organized and clean- this communicates self- respect. Dress neatly, smell good and keep good hygiene. This is mine secret and key is delivered to you.
MASTER YOUR EMOTIONS
Emotions are powerful tools for relationships or dating. The book titled “Emotional Intelligence,” by Dr. Daniel Goleman, saved me from a terrible situation. We have nothing to do. She was a colleague. We eat together, share ideas. Then, this particular time, she started giving attitude.
When she sees me, she will chuckle and stare angrily at me. I started feeling bad about the situation. When I ask, she will just brush me off.
Then, one day, I spoke to a male colleague. He confined in me; that she has ever mentioned that she loves me. I listened thoughtfully and applied the principles learnt from the book.
Upon attempting to talk to her on three occasions, she finally forgave me and said, “You’re not sensitive at all.” Eventually, we fall in love for some time. The rest is history.
Emotional intelligence is learning to know who you are and understanding others. You can’t start dating without knowing yourself and who you are going out on a date with.
Emotional intelligence teaches you how to perceive others through their own lens. Understanding this allowed you to relate with anyone, anyway, anytime in this life, and when dating.
You only excel in your date if you have these dating tips already with you. Cultivate and develop a sincere love for these traits from a practical experience. It will help you enjoy your relationship. Subscribe to learn more.
