- Practice appropriate chivalrous behaviorBe a gentleman ( gentle + man ) and take care of her needs without prompting. Open doors, offer your coat when she’s cold, etc
- Be strong, yet not abrasiveWomen don’t react well to a spineless jellyfish that won’t stand up for himself, but be careful not to cross the fine line between confidence and cockiness.
- Express and ask about feelingsA woman appreciates a man who is willing to talk about his feelings and is sincerely interested in hers.
- If you’re consuming alcohol, keep it social and minimalIf you have to be “fortified” with alcohol to be with her, she’ll sense you can’t relate to her sober.
- Exhibit confidence, not jealousyThe reality that she’ll stay in contact with friends and acquaintaces she had before she met you shouldn’t threaten you.
- Be accountable for your words and actionsBe a man of your word and let your actions show intentions and character.
- Realize that relationships can’t be boughtKeep things simple. While it’s nice to be spoiled, little things are often much more appreciated and sincere. Buy her a card, not a car,
Treat her with the same courtesy, respect and enthusiasm in front of your friends, family and colleagues as you do in private.
