Many men make the mistake of crossing the grey area between being kind and simply being a doormat for the woman. I used to do that years ago when I was younger. Eventually, I figured out how to be empowered to walk away from any non-marital relationship before I got to that point.
The key is to flirt with and date several women at once. Now, before you start hating me, let me explain.
On average, I "flirt" with between five and ten women per day. I know who is single and who to steer clear of, so I am careful. It's really saying nice things to them or complimenting them on something they are wearing. At any time, I could turn that into a romantic gesture, but for now, I'm happy to brighten someone's day.
I believe there's a right way to date and a wrong way. For example, most men ask a woman out, spend a ton of money on her, and hope they can make them a sexual partner or at least a steady girlfriend right away. This is a huge mistake.
Instead, if you are truly wanting to find the right partner to marry someday, you should date several women at the same time. By "date," I don't mean buying them an expensive dinner and then popping over to your place for a one-night-stand. What I mean is meeting them for coffee a few times simply to get to know them.
Never let a woman dictate the pace of the relationship. You need to be in charge of that.
In my next few posts, I'll show you what a first date should be like and how to eject from the airplane before you crash and burn.
