Dating and Relationships - 5 Tips For Keeping Him Interested

I'm going to call these dating and relationship tips because they apply whether you are dating someone new or if you have a new relationship already and want to keep it flowing in the right direction. A guy wants someone who is not afraid to eat dessert, will go to a baseball game without worrying about getting hat hair, or is ready to backpack through the country on a moments notice. He wants someone fun and challenging. The best way to keep a relationship fresh is to keep it fun.

Dating and Relationship Tips:

What not to talk about on a date:

The number one thing that will kill a prospective new dating relationship, is talking about your Ex. Big no-no. Guys don't want to hear about our ex-boyfriends any more than we want to hear about their ex-girlfriends. Also it paints a picture in his mind that you're still hung up on your Ex if you talk about him non-stop. Everyone has previous relationship baggage, but let it go and move on. You're embarking on a new journey so look to the future and leave the past behind.

Don't obsess about your weight:

This will turn a guy off for sure.If he takes you to a nice restaurant, it won't kill you to eat one carb loaded meal while enjoying his company. It's one day out of your life, enjoy it because you can obsess about your diet tomorrow. Guys like a woman who keeps in shape. They don't necessarily care about size and weight as long as you look proportionate. And if you obsess over such things, he will come to see you as needy, and insecure. Not a good quality to have. Eat good food in moderation and exercise and you'll be just fine.

Don't drink like a fish:

We all get nervous just before a date, but keep alcohol to a minimum of 2 drinks. You don't want to get drunk and spill all your closely guarded secrets. You might say more than you realize. Or do something totally embarrassing because you less inhibited than usual. Keep yourself in check. Stick to 2 drinks and be sure to eat with them.Tropical type drinks that are made with fruit juice are usually pretty mild compared to some others. And order a glass of water to sip in between drinks. These tips help to keep you from absorbing the alcohol to quickly.

Have something interesting to say:

It's hard to talk about ourselves and not sound like we're bragging, but it's good to show that you are an interesting person and have a life. Talk about something you do that is special and unique. Be an interesting person. If you like skydiving or hangliding or horseback riding through the mountains, talk about something that happened on one of your trips. It helps to think of topics for conversation before hand. Keeps things flowing and avoid lags in conversation. Sometimes that happens and you can't really help it, but that is a sign to you that this may not be a good prospect for you. It shouldn't be a hard to keep someone talking once you have their attention.

You'll be OK if he's not "The One"

Decide before the date is over that you will be Ok if he doesn't call you for another date. Dating is like window shopping, you may not be interested in buying at the moment.If there's no chemistry or spark of interest between the two of you, then let it go. He'll be polite and say he had fun. You can usually tell if you'll be asked for a second date, judging by how the first one is going. Don't take it personally and don't be offended.Remember you're window shopping too!
