		<description>As a fellow dating guide writer, I might pick this up for fun´s sake. But let me give my 2 cents here.

Want to know something funny? Men (especially in the dating game) are SO obsessed with what they think, look like, and so on...

That they TOTALLY FORGET about a woman´s perspective on things... and it leads to some very, very interesting situations.

Here´s the number 1 thing I see whenever I go out with one of my students to coach him with his dating problems:

- Woman looks my students´ way
- He thinks she `just` look his way, looked at someone behind him, was looking around any way etc.
- Meanwhile, she´s trying to make eye contact because she´s interested... or at least curious
- He STILL thinks she was `just looking`
- Woman leaves, disappointed, feeling kinda rejected

So, while single guys b*tch and complain about being rejected? THEY are the ones doing WAY MORE rejecting!

That´s why it´s important that we, as men, STOP thinking about us and START thinking about how women play the dating game.

Another example and an obvious one too: while men are so busy feeling bad about being rejected, women don´t WANT to be the bad guy who hurt people´s feelings. They´ll feel sorry for a guy.

And say you just asked her number and she said no, then why not ´settle for less´ and ask her Facebook/email or something like that?

Because then you´ll cash in on women not wanting to be the bad guy. A woman will most likely give in and sure, it will take more effort to create attraction because she said no, but you´ll have a chance to show your true colors the second time around.

And let´s face is: men SUCK at making first impressions! 

Think from a woman´s perspective now on.

To More Dating Success,
