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.

Being in a relationship is hard for us men ain’t it.  So much we have to worry about and make sure that we’re doing right.  So many things to remember.  So many things we have to say a certain way.  So many dates we have to memorize in our head.  So many corny things we have to do to in order to keep our woman happy. 

She is beautiful. She’s fly. Her convo is smart, she laughs at your jokes. You think there is a real connection. You want to know/see/feel more. You decide it is time to capitalize on this encounter. You shake the jitters to the floor, and pose your question: “would you like to go out sometime?”

First off let me say congratulations.  If you’re reading this then chances are you’re about to experience the joy of having a baby.  Well, you won’t physically be having the baby but you get what I mean.  This is an exciting time in a man’s life as he will officially become a father for the first time, or for a subsequent time.

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.
