| Don't call a woman sweetheart, baby, honey, babe, or any other familiar or endearing
name until after you have established an intimate relationship with her. The only thing
you should call her is her own name. |
| Don't give her a limp fish handshake. When you first meet a woman you should introduce
yourself and shake hands with her. When you shake hands, grip her hand firmly but not too
hard. |
| Don't have bad breath, body odor, or long hairs growing out of your nose or ears. Be
well groomed. |
| Don't swear or curse or use any four-letter words until you know it's safe to do so.
You'll know it's safe to use foul-mouthed language if she starts talking that way around
you. |
| Don't belch or fart in public. Show your best manners at all times. |
| Don't mumble or speak too softly. These are sure signs that you lack self-confidence and
self-esteem. |
| Don't look at other women while you're with the woman you're picking up. Give the woman
you're with your undivided attention. Again, maintain eye contact with her at a all times.
|
| Don't talk about other women or old girlfriends when you're picking up a woman. Talk
about and find out about the most important woman in the world � the one you happen to be
with at the moment. |
| Don't talk about her body parts when you first meet her. This is a good thing to talk
about later, as a prelude to getting her into bed, when you want to let her know that you
are a sexual person and that you think of her as a sexy woman. But it's not for first time
meetings and casual conversations. |
| Don't interrupt her or hog the conversation. Practice your listening skills. |
| Don't criticize her or call attention to her weaknesses or shortcomings. Point out her
strong points, build her up, make her feel wonderful about herself. |
| Don't drink too much. Women detest drunks. It also shows disrespect for her and implies
that you're trying to get her drunk too so you can get her into bed more easily. |
| Don't be too macho, or talk about sports too much, or be too focused on traditional male
perspectives. |
| Don't spend a lot of money on a woman on the first date. She will feel that you are
trying to buy her or make her feel obligated to you to 'put out' as soon as possible. |
| Don't come on to a woman too strong or too fast; in other words, don't be too sexually
aggressive. Women complain universally about this one. Wait at least until the second date
before you make your move. |
| Don't brag and don't talk about yourself too much. Don't let her know all about your
achievements and how great and successful you are during your first meeting. Let her know
a little about your successes, but always steer the conversation away from yourself and
back to her --her likes, her desires, her challenges, her needs. |
| Don't be too serious. Loosen up, have fun, and be funny whenever possible. |
| Don't be condescending, conceited, or a know it all. Respect women and their opinions. |
| Don't beat around the bush or try and trick her into giving you her phone number. Ask
her for phone number squarely and without hesitation when you know you're about to part
company. |
