Quick Tip for the weekend: When complimenting your date… make sure to say something personal as opposed to general. When you make the compliment personal, you tell your date that you really notice them and aren’t just going through the motions of being a polite date.
Example: “You are a great date/conversationalist.” vs. “I had a [...]

Three Steps To Winning a Woman’s Heart
Dear Loyal Guy Readers,
I know. Women are confusing. What works for one girl fails horribly with the next and that dang mind-reading expectation… what’s that all about anyway?

Fact or Hypothesis: Do your friends tell you the truth about dating?
