Modern Dating Advice for Women

There are a million dating advice books out there, and some of them actually make a lot of sense. But the modern single girl just doesn't need to spend hundreds of dollars on "find a husband" books. She only needs to follow a few simple suggestions (not rules!) and follow her heart at the same time. Most women know the answers to their questions somewhere inside themselves. They only want those answered confirmed by someone else.

Dating suggestion #1: Never pay for dates until you're solidly in a relationship.

Why not?

Because men, on average, make more money than women. Because men actually want to pay and when the woman offers to pay (or worse, grabs the check right out of his hands) she deprives him of his wish to be the provider. That's why.

Dating suggestion #2: Don't ask men out.

Why not?

Because men like to be the pursuer. No matter what they say, they do not enjoy being chased by women. They want to be the chaser. When you ask a man out instead of waiting for him to ask you out, you deprive him of his power. You take it away. And men don't like that.

Dating suggestion #3: Don't call him.

Why not?

Because you know deep down that you shouldn't, otherwise you wouldn't be asking "Should I call him?" Because he will eventually call (and if he doesn't, he's not worth your time). Because if he's not calling you, he doesn't want to talk to you. And you calling him isn't going to change that.

Dating suggestion #4: Don't date a guy with no money.

Why not?

Because you don't want to support a man. It's not attractive. Plus, although he will be grateful at first, it will lead to resentment. It just won't work out. Don't date him until he's got his life together. And that includes having enough money for food, clothing, rent and oh, yeah--you.

Dating suggestion #5: Be picky but not close-minded.

Why not?

Because being picky is good (like refusing to date broke men). But being close-minded means you might be missing out on someone who's perfect for you (like if you refuse to date men who are shorter than you'd like. That's just dumb).
