Random Dating Tips For Single Men (12 items)

• (#1) Listen To Your Significant Other's Frustrations

  From Redditor /u/fuddydudd:

  The first time I ever got really frustrated with [my partner], I was terrified to tell him because with all my exes (especially the most recent one), anytime I expressed my feelings it always turned into a huge, giant, knock down drag out fight... Somehow I always ended up being the one apologizing, even though my ex did something that I felt was incredibly hurtful and I wasn't looking forward to that again.

  When I expressed my frustration with my S.O., he was very calm and just said, "I love you very much, and while it wasn't my intention to make you upset, that doesn't mean my actions didn't do that anyway. Can you tell me more about what happened?"

  It was literally a 10-minute discussion and he was so respectful, while also holding me accountable for making sure I approached him with my frustrations maturely and treated him as an equal partner. It was really sweet and that's how it's been ever since.
• (#2) Make Her Laugh

  From Redditor /u/DorothyZbornakAttack:

  I love witty guys. I'm a super shy, anxious person but laughter really makes me feel better. I wish a guy would be bold and make me laugh.
• (#3) Be Passionate About Something

  From Redditor /u/nyvz:

  Be nerdy and tell me about yourself and what you like! I might not be into it, but seeing someone who is really passionate about something is appealing.
• (#4) Don't Act Differently To Impress Someone

  From Redditor /u/nomdeplume818:

  Don’t act differently to impress me. Don’t just say “cool” to what I say, ask questions... if you can’t be actually interested in me, why are you trying to get with me? Also, if you just say, “Would you like to maybe get coffee with me sometime?” and I like you the answer will be yes - it’s that easy!
• (#5) Be More Direct

  From Redditor /u/kalysti:

  Say something straightforward. "Hey, can I buy you a coffee?" or "Want to go to a movie?" or "I'm going to a LAN party, want to come?"

  Leave the fancy pickup lines in the pickup bars.
• (#6) Have A Conversation In Person

  From Redditor /u/goelectric9:

  If you are able to talk to me in person (as in you go to the same school/church/places I go to), then actually talk to me in person first.

  If you aren't, or even if you're too shy or nervous to, DON'T TRY TO FLIRT OR HIT ON ME THROUGH INSTAGRAM DMS OR SNAPCHAT. Get my number and text me. Or call me. Seriously the amount of respect I have for a guy goes up so much when he actually texts or calls me and tries to start an actual conversation instead of DMing me on Instagram and saying, "Hey, what's your Snapchat?"

  I don't want a friendship/relationship to primarily be formed through social media...
• (#7) Know How To End A Date

  From Redditor /u/justsayinyall11:

  There is no greater feeling at the end of a date than when a man says, "I really like you, and I'd like to spend more time with you. When can I see you again?" So many dates end in a wishy-washy "OK bye now" type of way - when a man says what he wants and what he wants is me I melt.
• (#8) Don't Have One-Sided Conversations

  From Redditor /u/Infojunkie996:

  Be respectful AND cool, like Dwayne Johnson. Being just cool makes you look cold and apathetic, major turn off, but fixable. Also, compliments are memorable things, make her feel good and she'll love your company. And make the effort to say hi as you pass her and initiate conversations, 'cause if you don't she'll take it as a sign that you don't like talking to her.

  And ask her questions too, don't talk about yourself all the time. It makes you look self-absorbed, and I've been intimidated by a guy once because he bragged too much and it made me feel like he's out of my league, even if he did like me. Basically, don't have one-sided convos, ask her what she likes to do in her free time, etc. Ultimately, after getting to know her, ask her if she wants to get coffee with you sometime.

  Oh almost forgot, don't ignore her either. We're beginning an era of mutual respect, and ignoring someone is disrespectful. Good luck out there guys.
• (#9) Invest In Bedding

  From a former Redditor:

  [Get] a nice bedding set with clean sheets. I've gotten so many guys into this habit. There is no bigger turn on then going into a man's room and seeing a really nicely outfitted and made bed with clean, comfortable sheets.
• (#10) Every Time Doesn't Need To Be A 'Marathon Session'

  From Redditor /u/partyrockisinthehaus:

  [It doesn't matter] how long they last, especially if it's been a while or something. Obviously it's nice if it's longer than 30 seconds... but 9 times out of 10, every girl I've spoken to is kind of flattered (as if she's so attractive you can't restrain yourself), while the guy beats himself up. We don't need a marathon session every time.
• (#11) Wear A Nice Shirt With The Sleeves Rolled Up

  From Redditor /u/lightnessofbeanstalk:

  Roll up your sleeves and show us some [forearm].
• (#12) Trim Your Hedges

  From a Quora user:

  [T]ry and let him know about the benefits of manscaping. Let him know that it makes for a better grooming habit and can help boost your self-confidence since it will make your private parts look neater and cleaner. Moreover, he’ll likely smell and sweat less since there’s less hair to absorb those.

  Another tactic you can try is to buy him manscaping products and tools designed to be used in that area so he’ll more or less be inclined to do it since he doesn’t have to do the buying himself.
