Do you find yourself wondering why most of your buddies havesteady dates, yet you can barely secure a first date, let alone a second (and,playing a regular game of Mahjong and Canasta with your grandparents and theirfriends doesn't count)? Guys, if so, it's time to ask yourself a few
Foxy questions...
Do you... have a problem with eye contact? Even if you love everything about this other person, it won'tmatter, if you can't take your eyes off their body parts. They'll likely thinkyou're out for one thing, or that you're just kind of creepy. Sure, they mightbe wearing something revealing, but that's no excuse to stare allnight long. Get a grip and get comfortable with eye contact, which creates a much better bond.
Do you... eat like a caveman? Utensils are there for a reason --so you can eat like a gentleman. Shoveling food into your mouth is notsomething you should subject your date to. Same goes for talking while chewing.Not only is it unpleasant to watch at a time when your job is to be easy on theeyes, it's a red flag that says you're a little short on self-awareness -- animportant characteristic in a mate.
Do you... trim your toenails? Not that yourdate will necessarily see your toenails right away, but when they doend up eyeballing them, unkept toenails are a guaranteed huge turnoff. It means you don't takecare of yourself, and valuing yourself is an important part of a healthyrelationship. Plus, let's not forget the damage they can do to the otherperson's leg when you're snuggling up on the sofa watching movies.
Do you... order "everything on the side" at arestaurant? In other words, do you orderlike a girl? Please don't. Because if your date has to be tortured by,"I'll have the Cobb salad, but no cheese, avocado, or bacon, anddressingon the side, and the pasta, but no oil please, and extra light on thepinenuts," they may be forced to hide under the table or at leastwonderwhat kind of demanding partner you could be. If you have dietaryrestrictions, do your best, just don't get into what will happen toyour belly if youdon't follow them.
Do you... assume you're going to strike out? The Secret said it once butwe'll say it again: In a lot of ways, you manifest your own destiny. So, if youhave lots of thoughts about being unlucky in love, you may be pushing peopleaway in ways you may not even know. If you assume theworst of the world and yourself, spend a few minutes before your date making a mental list ofwhy you're looking for a relationship and why you are an incredible a catch.
Oh mga guys..baka kayo na yan
