Men only …. Part I

There are some dating roles clearly designated ‘men only.’

We know it’s up to men to chase and organise the date.  And men believe it or not know this too.

Here’s a text I received from a male friend yesterday.

I recall a similar situation a few months ago.  A friend of mine had emailed this girl via an online dating site.  She was really pretty and he was really nervous.  It was really cute to see him a little nervous.  He wasn’t sure whether she’d like him.

Suffice to say he wanted to make a really good impression.  He called and asked for help.  Even though he frequents lots of nice watering holes in London, he still spend two hours sat at his desk researching a great place to take her. 

I remember watching him and thinking:

‘Wow, men sure make an effort when they really want to date you.’

Next time you’re tempted to organise the dating plans. 

Don’t

Men know it’s over to them to set up and organise the date. 

Our role is to back off, leave them to it, thank them for picking a great venue (even if it’s not to our taste) and gracefully receive.
