Six Things Men Must Not Do To The Woman They're Dating

Following are some things that men shouldn't do to the woman they're dating and the reasons why.

1. Don't ignore her texts. Texting allows you to multi-task, so as busy as you may be, you can definitely find a moment to answer her text. If you really can't, tell her you'll have to get back to her later. Ignoring her texts will make her feel anxious and annoyed.

2. Don't tell her she's overreacting. Telling a woman she needs to calm down is a terrible thing. It's completely normal for a woman to become emotional about things. Keep in mind that men and women are designed differently. Women tend to be more emotional than men. Try to be empathetic with her and provide her with a safe space to express herself, without making her feel she's crazy. So if she gets upset with you, try to see things from her perspective. If you keep on blowing her off when she talks about feelings, things will most likely not end well.

3. Don't pretend everything's ok when it's really not. If there's something that's bothering you, let your partner know. Be upfront. For example, if you're looking to be serious with someone who's secular but the woman you're dating is religious, let her know. She deserves to know. Letting her fall for you, when you don't see yourself with her is unfair. Also, the shock when you do eventually tell her that you no longer want to date her makes things even more painful.

4. Don't be vague about your intentions. Ask her what she's looking for and see if it aligns with what you're looking for. If it doesn't discuss it with her and see if it's worth continuing seeing each other. This conversation is best to have early on to avoid one/both partners investing time/energy in something that will end in pain. For example, if you're just looking for something casual don't pretend that you're looking for a long-term relationship.

5. Don't make promises you can't keep. Honesty is very important in a relationship. Honesty in a relationship allows for mutual trust. When you lie, you risk losing your partner's trust. Both parties in a relationship should feel comfortable with being honest with one another. If not, there won't be proper communication, which can lead to a lot of future problems. So don't try to impress the woman you're dating with a lot of lies to make yourself look good. While it may be a short-term solution to keep her interested, it will likely work against you in the long run.

6. Don't give her mixed signals. Giving a woman mixed signals is selfish and unjustifiable. Just because you can't make up your mind about whether or not you like her, doesn't mean that you have to confuse her too! Playing mind games with her isn't nice. Don't flirt with a woman sometimes and then ignore her other times. Or, don't keep telling her you want to see her but then cancel your dates.
