Friend-Wooing Do’s and Don’ts

Submitted by SharpMan Editorial Team on Friday 8th October 2010
  • Don’t come on too strong–pressure will drive her away.
  • Don’t act too eager to please–neediness will make her run quickly in the other direction.
  • Don’t be too nice, i.e. boring–give your own opinions in addition to respecting hers.
  • Don’t wait until a friendship has developed to ask her out–if you meet a woman you like, ask her out shortly after meeting her. "Just friends" isn’t the easiest mode to break out of.
  • Don’t act like you worship her–appreciate her instead, but stand your own ground. Strength is attractive, puppy dogs aren’t.
  • Do be strong and confident–while modern women want to be independent, that’s not incompatible with also wanting a "manly" mate who’ll look out for them.
  • Do be exciting and adventurous–show her that you have your own hobbies and your own life outside of drooling over her.
  • Do be willing to try new things–show her she’ll never get bored with you.
  • Do treat her kindly and do fun things together–show her that she’ll enjoy being around you.
