Dating and romance have changed in today's world. When people search for companionship, often times their search begins online. With social dating sites, it's commonplace to arrange meetings in Cyberland without actually meeting the person in real life. But, is this real life now as we know it? Or is there still a place in society where it's encouraged to find romance and partnerships without a dating site?

In 2000 a movie called “What Women Want” starring Mel Gibson came out. After a freak accident he was able to hear women’s thoughts, a super power that I often wish I had. It’s hard to know what every person wants because each of us are so different and in various stages of life.

During most of my conversations with my girlfriends we discuss dating, relationships, and of course the horror stories are always in the mix. Instead of focusing on the negative stories, I pulled together a list of things that men are doing right. If you stick to this list you will have a better chance of getting that second, third, and beyond date. 

In the era of “Netflix and chill” it seems like nowadays, dating and courting is a lost art.  It seems as though the fellas are putting in less effort to impress a woman during the pursuit of her and women are becoming either accepting of the lackluster approaches or fed up to the point where they don’t even want to date anymore.
