16 Dating Rules to Avoid Turning off Your Man – Part I
A common female complaint is that men just don't understand women. It may surprise you to know that many men feel the same way — that women don't have a clue about what they really want, either.
Do you think you understand men? (To be fair, do men try to understand women?) Read on to find out if you really do. What men secretly long for from women they date may surprise you. The following reveals what behavior of women can turn men on or off. It also offers insight into male priorities and what is important in order to build a solid relationship.
• Don't be a painted lady. Avoid heavy makeup. A man wants his woman to look good but not phony. Apply a light hand with eye shadow, mascara and blush. A man wants to date a real woman ... not someone who looks like a Las Vegas showgirl or a gaudy department store mannequin.
• Don't give him the busy signal. If he phones during your favorite TV program, don't cut the conversation short — he may be phoning for an important reason. If he really needs to talk to you, don't tell him to wait until your show is over. It makes him feel that he doesn't count. Make him feel that he comes first in your life.
• Don't play games. If you want to end the relationship, come right out and say so. Don't act moody or keep making excuses. It just confuses him. Instead, be honest. Tell him if it's over and you want to see other men so he can move on and find someone else, too.
• Don't put him on hold. Unless your job requires you to be on call, leave your cellphone at home when on a date. Chatting with friends while you and your man are out together is insulting and annoying. If a man spends time and money on you, he expects to be the center of your attention when the, two of you go out together.
• Don't give him unwanted advice. Even if you think you know what's best for him, don't say so. Give him credit for making his own decisions. Let him choose how to spend his money, how to dress, spend his certificates he receives. What you may think he needs may entirely differ from what he really wants.
• Don't expect him to be a mind reader. If a man tries to surprise you by planning an evening on his own, don't spoil it with complaints. If he chooses the restaurant, don't tell him you've been there before or you don't like the menu or atmosphere. Instead, appreciate his efforts and show appreciation rather than nitpick or rain on his parade. He's trying to please you. If you haven't been dating long, how can you expect him to know you've already been there and done that?
• Don't talk about other men. He doesn't want to hear you rave about a male celebrity. Unless you want to listen to him go on and on about a sexy actress or entertainer, spare him your raptures over a sexy actor or athlete that turns you on.
• Don't put him down —especially in public. Even if you think he's behaving foolishly, don't say so. Telling him to cool it when he's laughing at a TV show or just goofing around and having a good time with family or friends is embarrassing. It also spoils the mood and ruins the evening. Let him enjoy himself without giving him berating looks or making him feel ridiculous.
