myTakes: Dating

1. Flirt with other men That's right... if you wanna make him jealous then a little flirty banter here and there is OK! He needs to be kept on his toes so he knows your worth. When you're out and the waiter or bar tender...

A lot of guys I know claim they simply don't get women. "They're confusing/difficult/impossible to figure out!", they say. "I did everything, I don't know why it didn't work!" is among the most common complaints. But as...

When I was in high school, I remember arguing with my girlfriends about guys. Oh yeah, standard girl talk, you know? I was vehement in my defense of the quintessential Nice Guy. I was a hopeless romantic and really, I...

I used to wear my heart on my sleeve. A few years ago, when I was interested in getting into a relationship I would talk to only one guy. Doesn't sound bad right? Well, I would put all my time and energy into this guy. I...

My brain won’t ever switch off. Ever. Whether it’s worrying about work, what people think of me or why that text hasn’t been responded too in 5 and a half minutes, my mind goes into overdrive and it produces a series of...

1. Pull back Just when he thinks he has you, you need to hold your ground and mark your boundary. Act independent and don't show your eagerness all the time. Make sure that he knows that he has to put in effort to keep...

1. I love my freedom First and foremost I love that I can do whatever I want, whenever I want, with whomever I choose. I don't have to worry about boundaries or even question whether I am doing anything wrong in terms of...

I remember when I first met you. I'm usually awkward when I meet new people but with you, things just clicked. I didn't see you as more than a friend at first, but I did realize that there was something about you that was...

No one and I mean no one knows how to talk to people anymore! Ironic considering my username: 2shy2speak isn't so 2shy2type. These dating apps are infiltrating 21st century love culture. Compare it to food if you must;...

1. Password protect phone/computer/social media Always make sure that you are careful about the accessibility of your communication devices. If you need to buy a pre-paid phone, or even set up an email account. 2. Use...

1. Experienced in bed Let's be honest, older men have been around the block with a lot more partners than younger men. So they will know exactly how to treat you in the sack 2. Financially stable Most likely an older man...

1. He will avoid seeing you If a guy isn't into you, he won't make an effort to spend time with you and get to know you. Simply put he will not go the distance. 2. He doesn't call/text you This one is simple. If you...

1. It's legal Fully grown men may not become romantically involved with teenage girls, because such behavior is a sign of paedophilia; and paedophilia is illegal and wrong. To be safe, fully grown men should only date...
