Dating is a very scary idea, for many people, for a variety of different reasons. Some people are may be scared of date because they have not been on one for a long time (marriage break up, long time partner, too busy doing other things), others because they just never gained that dating confidence everyone would like to have.

Practice To Gain Confidence

As with many things, the best way to get confident is to practice. Getting a few dates under your belt is a great way to get your dating confidence going. It doesn't matter if you mess up a few dates, the idea is to go on some dates and with practice, you gain confidence.

One of the best "pickup" lines is saying, "Hello". Generally if the person is interested in you, then this will allow a conversation to start and the rest to follow.

Other times, you may have to be more persuasive. Note: this should not be anything sinister. If a person shows an obvious distaste for you, it is best to move on and leave them alone.

If the person is just bored and flicking people off whilst barely looking, perhaps there is a chance. She may already have a partner, not be in the mood or whatever. Depending on the reason, you may be able to turn her around or shake her out of it with a witty comment or something.

Are you dating a hot member of the other sex and can't believe your luck? If you are looking at these pages of wisdom, perhaps not, but remember this one once you take the advice and are with that supermodel ;)

If you dating someone who is always being hit on, it can be very hard not to get jealous. Very, very hard. Whilst you may not be able to stop yourself getting angry because they are getting looks, phone numbers or whatever it happens to be... make sure not to take it out on your partner.

They are probably used to it anyway and not everyone likes getting fawned over either. Remember, it is (probably ;) not their fault that these people are infatuated with them. Your partner chose you, so try not to make them wish they didn't by acting like a jerk and giving them trouble for something they didn't initiate. Take that jealousy and try to remember that you are the lucky one who has them and they don't.

Valentine's Days specific origins are not known, but what is known is that you are in big trouble if you forget that the 14th of February is Valentine's Day and you have a special partner!

Make sure you mark Saint Valentine's special day in your calendar, personal organiser etc, otherwise, you could be up for a lot of begging and grovelling to gain back the favour of your loved one.

As with most special days, commercialism has taken over and Valentine's Day is a huge money spinner for florists and other love related shops. Remember though, that a little thought can often go a lot further than a spending lots of money. Spending a lot of money on your partner has been known to work though ;)

Should you a girl a drink? Well, this depends on the situation, but as an opening chat up line, I would say no.

No Guarantees

Many girls will talk to you for a while if you are funding their night out. Some girls will take the offered drink and just walk off. If you spend all night buying them drinks, are they into you or your money.

When a date asks you a question, sometimes it is best to reply with a bit of a joke. Especially if you don't know what the expected response is and feel you could get yourself into trouble.

"Why, do you think they are more attractive than me?"

"Do I look fat?"
