7 Dating Advice and Myths that Should Totally be Ditched

5. Be a shoulder to cry on

Women love men who listen to them but there’s a difference between listening and becoming the perennial shoulder on which she cries her heart out. If you don’t start talking about better stuff, related to yourself, then you will find yourself friend-zoned. It’s a space wherein the girl has mentally compartmentalized you as a dear friend in need and nothing more. Be a man who shows her the joys of being with you and not a woman who solely listens and comforts others.

6. Be mushy and romantic

Girls like a guy who has a romantic side to him, true. But they get grossed out and would maintain their distance from a guy who starts to get mushy and romantic right after the first date. You have to be like a friend, not a best friend mind you, and get to know her better before starting out slowly with the lovey-dovey talks.

7. Indulge in negging and not complimenting

Bros have a habit of giving this stupid piece of advice to each other. Yes, women are complicated creatures and sometimes it may feel like the good guys really do finish last, however that doesn’t mean you become a jerk for women don’t like them either. They want a man who will compliment her in a limit so that it sounds genuine. Negging, which is the art of putting women down and making them feel insecure, doesn’t always have the opposite effect. Confident women may insult you and walk out if you start to make them feel insecure.
