Learn the Successful Dating Tips

ByJulia Austin
In a movie, the crazy thing always works out. The grand gesture gets you the grand love. The love interest reads your grand gesture as ballsy, full of confidence, and knowing what you want. In real life, it can just make you look a little nuts and a little desperate. And maybe even a little irresponsible if that grand gesture cost you a pricey plane ticket or a game of hookey from work.
I would know, because I have done a few crazy things for love. And, well, I'm still single. What have I done?
Karaoke:
What better way to show someone you want the whole world to know that you love them than by letting the whole bar know. It's a start, right? I've signed up to sing at a karaoke bar where I was out with a group of friends, unsuspecting love interest included, with the intention of making it very clear that I was singing to just one person. I don't think all of the singing lessons or voice training in the world could have minimized my horror after putting on that performance and jumping off the stage to be greeted by these words from my love interest: "that was - um - sweet of you."
Gone the distance:
I was once dating someone who ended up moving about a 7-hour drive away. I decided to surprise him by taking off work for a week and driving up there without giving him any advance notice. He was, of course, thrilled to see me on his doorstep. And he was thrilled for the next two days (it was the weekend) to be with me. But, once the work week began, I was just some chick hanging out at his house waiting for him to come home, and stressing him out because he knew I was there waiting for him to come home. Not to mention, we had never lived together in the past. And suddenly, we were thrown into a pseudo living together situation, and found out that we needed our own space very quickly. In the end, the grand gesture didn't make us grow closer. It was the beginning of our relationship's demise.
Written a love letter:
There was a time when these were in fashion. But that was a very, very long time ago. I should have realized that before I tried to translate my feelings into a sonnet, with some far-fetched metaphors and some major hyperbole about just how much the person meant to me. The reader basically gulped in discomfort because, well, it's a little difficult to respond in regular English after you've just been written to in actual Old English.

Once you're in a relationship for a while, it's easy to get complacent and take your girlfriend for granted. This is when knowing some sweet things to say to your girlfriend can really bring a smile to her face, and bring some fun and romance back into your relationship.
The key is to feel comfortable expressing your romantic side. Most men, however, feel awkward when they expose their feelings, as they regard this as a form of weakness. You shouldn't feel this way; your priority should be keeping your relationship with your girlfriend feeling fresh, fun and romantic. Try using the following sweet things to say to your girlfriend, and you might find that the "spark" will instantly return to your relationship.
Sweet Things To Say To Your Girlfriend, Tip #1
Text messaging is a great way to communicate sweet things to your girlfriend, and let her know that you're thinking of her. Try sending her this simple text message: "Just thinking of you and missing you..." This lets her know just how precious she is to you, and that even when you're apart (even for a short while) she is always on your mind. Women love to know that their man is thinking of them.
Sweet Things To Say To Your Girlfriend, Tip #2
Another sweet thing you can tell your girlfriend (or communicate to her via text message) is to simply express to her how beautiful she is. Use a phrase like this: "Have I told you lately how beautiful you are." Women spend so much time (not to mention money) to make themselves look and feel pretty, and if you're her boyfriend of husband, it's all for your benefit! Showing your appreciation and giving her a compliment once in a while will let her know that her efforts to look good are not wasted. Or, the simple line "You are so beautiful," while you're watching her fix her makeup, or try on an outfit, is music to a woman's ears.
Something Sweet To Say To Your Girlfriend, Tip #3
Men tend to think it's a sign of weakness if they ever have to ask anyone for assistance. (Ever notice how men hate asking for directions, even when they've been driving in circles for an hour?) Show her your sensitive and appreciative side by letting her know how much value she brings to your life. You can say something to her like, "You are my treasure, and my life is so much happier because of you." This simple line can melt a woman's heart, and it lets her know you don't take her for granted.
One of the biggest reasons why relationships fizzle out, and women yearn for "something different," is because their husband or boyfriend stops paying attention to them, and appreciating them for the things they fell in love with in the first place. By paying her an occasional, sincere compliment, and letting her know that you're never far from her thoughts, you will keep her bonded to you.
Now I want to give you some advanced conversation techniques that you can use when you talk to women. These techniques will even work if she has a boyfriend and you're trying to woo her, or if she currently sees you as "just a friend"...
