Men make mistakes too in dating. The following consists of five most common mistakes. Avoid them and you will be steps ahead of the game.

1. Trying to Impress Too Much

It’s great that you are successful, was ivy-league educated, and have the ability to her life. But don't come on too strong right away. Let her figure out if she wants to be with you, instead of telling us she does.

2. Not Being a Good Listener

A women notices if you stop listening to her, if you ask her the same question she just answered, if you check out other women, or if you keep interrupting when she’s opening up. Women like good listeners. So focus on your date across the table from you and listen to what she has to say.

3. Not Being a Gentleman

To women, dating a gentleman matters. It's nice when a man picks up the tab, opens the door, or makes sure his date gets home safely. It may be old-fashioned, but it shows you treat a woman like a women.

4. Not Taking Initiatives

“I don't know” or “Whatever you'd like” when planning a date doesn’t make your date feel you are taking initiatives. Taking initiative doesn’t mean ordering meals or drink for a woman (if she lets you, great! if she wants to order her own meals, good too!). It means confidently approaching your date with ideas, passion and attention. So, when you ask a woman out, a better approach is to come up with a few fun and creative options and ask her to pick one.

5. Saying You Will Call and Then Don't

If you are not going to follow up, then don't act like you're going to. Just end the date with something like “It was nice to see you. Have a great evening.” If you've gone out more than a few times but don’t feel a romantic connection with your date, be honest. Just remember, honest communication is usually the way to go with a woman.
