The rate of singles is steadily increasing year by year, and its little wonder judging by the way many people behave whilst attempting to entertain their date. We are witnessing more people entering the singles market, pushing the number of available singles up to record highs.

Yet with so many available singles, one would think finding a new partner would be like a kid in a candy store! Not the case. In a recent online chat room session conducted by The La Trobe Universities Centre for Public Wellness, interviews were carried out with female online dating members. The initial reaction by our female interviewer was that “the quality of these women were astonishing”. They were mostly well educated, independent good looking women that had been single for an extended period of time. The main factor for their singles status, based on results of the online chat sessions was that finding quality men was the problem.

Women often made up their minds whether there would be a second date or not after the first 10 minutes of their date. Men were either too confident, or not confident enough. Many men ignored the most basic of dating rules and didn’t even offer to pay for half the meal. Other complaints single women had included men trying to feed them food without asking (how embarrassing), overpowering after shave, government and political chat (gee what a turn on), comparing ex-girlfriends, fiddling with their mobile phone, texting during a date, arriving late or arriving under he influence of mind-altering substances.Another common dating mistake made by men was failing to compliment their date on their appearance.

Here are some signs that a guy likes you and is trying to impress! He attempts to only tell you “cool” things, or things that will “impress” you. He seems nervous and unnatural whilst you chat… Occasionally presenting himself as formal. He attempts to work out what the woman would like to find out about a topic. If he chats about a topic the woman does not like, he back pedals and attempts to alter what he said to accommodate her. He does not say anything speculative, doesn’t badger the woman, and does not do anything to discomfit her.

More simple tips for guys! Whether you think its important or not, the right clothes are crucial. It tells a lot about you. Take a little time to make an awesome first impression. Once you have secured a good impression you have gone along way to ensure the date will be a success. However there’s no need to dress like a movie star to look good. Just give this some thought before your big night out. Remember, your there to impress her. If you use dating sites , be honest with your profile details so to avoid disapointment on your first date. Winning over your date isn’t rocket science.

Ladies will almost always be receptive if common sense gestures are used such as compliments, flowers and showing interest in what they have to say. Its all about effort, truely !
