Most of the time guys can be their own worst enemy in dating and relationships. Women will give all the reasons in the world why the relationship won’t work, but ultimately most of those reasons are within full control of the guy. Check out our list of the 6 sure-fire ways to derail your chances in that once promising relationship.
6. Lacking confidence.
Don’t confuse confidence with arrogance. A confident man will attract far more women than an arrogant one. The “swag” or aura you present should tell that woman you not only know you are about something, but you know SHE knows it too.
5. Lack of Conversation.
Communication is key in any relationship, especially when trying to get one off the ground. Many women may be initially physically attracted to you, but if you lack any form of substance once you open your mouth, the attraction will be shortlived.
4. Lack of Direction.
A complacent brotha is a lonely one. No matter where you are in your life, you should ALWAYS have goals set. If you are fresh out of college, and about to enter the workforce in these troubling times, set realistic goals. If you “have made it” financially, don’t rest on your laurels either. No one wants to be with someone who is ok just the way they are. Who works hard to stay the same?
3. Being Boring.
A boring brotha is a lonely one too. When it’s time to think of some ideas for first dates, don’t suggest the same places you would have gone too in 2001. Change things up a bit, read our ideas for warm weather first dates, be creative.
2. Not Listening.
This ties back to communication. A woman who senses you don’t listen to what she NEEDS will often not WANT to do anything with you.
1. Lying.
Honesty is the best policy, especially early on. Being completely transparent with your girl about your expectations for the relationship will help put her mind at ease as to the level of engagement you have, but also allow you to handle some issues early on that could derail your success.
