10 Men That Make Dating Mistakes

A handy list of the guys that struggle to make it past a couple of dates.

Mr Too Nice to Date Twice
It’s true that women can’t see a nice guy for the trees but there is nice and then there is the type of nice which leaves us stifling yawns all evening. Guys make the mistake of believing that being a nice person is a bad thing, but what they don’t realise is that a guy can still be nice and have some balls. Being nice does not mean that he should lose the ability to make a decision. Boys, be proactive and God forbid, speak!

Mr Persistent
God loves a tryer, but we’re not God. How unpleasant is it when a guy just won’t take the hint and is whining because you won’t let him come in for a non-existent coffee, let things go beyond a kiss etc. He should take the hint and have the good grace to go home with a modicum of decency! And when we say we’re not interested, he should accept it and move on, without berating us over our choice and trying to convince us otherwise!

Mr Kiss Arse
We are not their mum, which means that overdoing it on the search for approval will put us right off. Men should be moderately assured of themselves and shouldn’t be having a one man contest with you as judge.

Mr Flash
Some women get wet at the sign of money, but for most women, if we aren’t interested, attempting to buy our affection is a complete turn off. As my mum told me recently, ‘You’ll feel on top of the world if you’re really into the guy, or you’ll feel trapped by the OTT gestures.’ When men keep throwing money our way via gifts etc, it’s as if they are implying that they don’t think that what they have to offer is good enough.

Mr Premature
Like premature ejaculation, a feelings spillage too early in the relationship can make for rather awkward times. I’m sure there are people that fall in love at first sight and bla, bla, bla but for the rest of us, being told ‘I love you’ or ‘I really, really, really like you’, when we’ve only been on a couple of dates with a guy screams red flag. It seems insincere, and some of us will think that it’s a cheesy line used to attempt to weaken our knicker elastic. Guys should learn how to take their time, but not too much obviously!

Mr Shallow
Guys make the rather foolish mistake of assuming that women are only interested in money and looks. Yes some are, but they’re shallow too. Most women see beyond money and looks, to at least notice the size of the willy. I’m joking! Most women need personality to graduate from dating into a relationship. The looks and the money are superficial things which can wear off once we’ve seen the skiddy underpants, the beer gut has exploded and he’s suddenly lost the inability to do anything around the house. It’s the personality that gets the guy to that stage in the first place.

Mr Pussy
There are certain things that we just don’t seem to be comfortable with, and unless you are an Alpha Female or just very bossy and dominant, we don’t like our men to be pushovers. If a guy spends dates being a yes man saying ‘Whatever you want to do';’ Whatever you like’ to all of your questions, I suggest you get out the magnifying glass and look for his balls.

Mr Falter
Women are very clever, very perceptive and very sensitive which means that even if we choose to ignore some really odd things that guys do and end up in dodgy relationships, we do know when a guy wants to kiss us, sleep with us etc and if he fails to act on this, it can be off putting. If guys stall on doing the basics such as kissing, this is very confusing to a woman and if she isn’t feeling particular patient, she just won’t bother anymore.

Mr Days of Our Lives
Sometimes we do get a guy who just tries to bloody hard and it’s not because he is actually a nice guy, but because he normally isn’t a nice guy but is playing the game so that he charm his way into your knickers. The over dramatic ‘acting’ leaves you almost waiting for the music to kick in and the scene to cut. The worst thing about these guys is that their act is very transparent making them look like an asshole. What these guys need to remember is to run the risk of being themselves as the act can only last for so long.

Mr Wife Beater of the Future

When guys display aggression on a date, I beg and implore, pay bloody attention and run a mile. Dating is when we put our best foot forward. The bikini line and all other body hair is neat or gone, we wear our best underwear, we act as if we’re on top of the world etc, and if he is losing his rag on the first few dates, it not only says that he doesn’t give a monkey’s but if he’ll be like this so early on, what the hell will he be doing further down the line?
