Have you got any advice...

While sitting in Brussels airport during the small hours of the morning with two male friends,  we started discussing how difficult it is to meet normal, nice people to date. It really is a minefield out there. The two chaps I was with are physically and personality-wise like chalk and cheese (both lovely guys though) and I wouldn't have thought they'd have problems attracting women. 

I soon found out that wasn't the problem - it was rather attracting the right sort of woman. You know the one; she is visually aesthetic, normal, honest and secure. This means that any ladies out there who take on a fake persona for the first few months of the relationship are out, as are the ones who feed on gossip and others misfortune, also the ones who want to know your activities for every waking second of your day, oh and don't forget the woman who insists on morphing into a female version of you. Yes, I know, you've all witnessed her in action! 

Halfway through this conversation, "tall & sensitive" asks me if I've any advice for himself and "boyish & playful" for when they do meet their Ms Rights. I told him to be honest, affectionate and attentive. After eyeing me dubiously for 20 seconds he said surely I had a bit more than that? No, I insisted, women really are that simple. We're not this great big enigma. What we want from a man is for him to be honest, be able to demonstrate how much he cares about us (and lusts after us) and that he is interested in us as a person. He was still looking quite dubious!!

The lads then decided to give me a lesson on How To Treat Your Man. So ladies are you ready... here goes...

1. Kiss his face. And his neck. And his shoulders. And his back. He loves kisses just as much as we do.
2. Touch him in public, but without gluing yourself to his side. This feeds his ego apparently
3. Since we're talking about Ego's you've got to feed his. Praise him. Admire him. Lust after him. Tell him how wonderful his body/personality/skills are... he can have confidence issues too you know. 
4. Let him "look after you". Please see above ↑ re Ego!!
5. If you're going to attach sentiment to a date/place/movie/song etc, spell it out to him. He really is that thick when it comes to these things! 
6. Want him. But don't need him.

So there you have it. From the mouths of men. Well two of them anyway!!

Happy Dating Everybody!  ♡ ♥ ♡
