Never compromise your morals. If the person you are interested
in is not interested in you, then you should move on
Some people are very polite and you may not realize
immediately that they aren't interested
But, given time, it should become apparent. In the meantime,
take it slow, and even if you are head over heels, don't reveal this right
away, at least until you are sure they are genuinely interested in you, too, or
they could use your attraction to their benefit
Usually it is best to reveal one's feelings step by step,
not much more nor much less than the other has revealed
However, people have very different ways for showing that
they are or are not interested, so do not break up, or step it up, without
talking things through as to where you're both headed
If you feel like you need time to decide, do not hesitate to
talk
Never be forceful. If you ever pressure her to do something
she doesn't feel comfortable doing, she won't be shy to say goodbye
Forcing her to do what she doesn’t want to do is rude
Try to continue doing your normal routine, with them in
mind, rather than changing your whole life around them
Hopefully they will want to have a relationship with YOU,
not a clone of themselves or a tag along
The most important thing in dating is to be conscious of
your date's feelings and reactions
If she's a high-powered lawyer or a free-thinking
intellectual, she may feel that your chivalry is an attempt to deprive her of
her independence. However, if she's pleased at your holding the door for her,
keep up the gallantry
A lot of guys choose women who are "arm candy" --
good-looking trophy girlfriends who bolster their status among other men or
counteract their own insecurities
That's all well and good, but if you find a woman who makes
you happy, regardless of looks, age or social status -- or what any other guy
thinks -- then you have definitely won at the mating game
