Getting Yourself Ready for the Dating Game

Overall, there are 4 main areas in your life that you need to have under control if you want to meet and date attractive and interesting women. Go through all four, and make an honest list of where you stand on each point. You might even want to ask a friend to go through the list as well, and rate you based on their opinions.

1. Physical Appearance

• Hair - Ask a real stylist to let you know if your current hairstyle is fashionable and well-suited to your face. Facial hair should probably go though.
  
  
• Teeth - Brush your teeth 3 times a day for fresh breath. If they are crooked or broken, see about getting them fixed.
  
  
• Body Odor - Shower regularly, especially if you are going out. Deodorant is a must, but if you use cologne or aftershave, keep it light.
  
  
• Shape - Feeling good about yourself is almost as important as keeping yourself in good shape, though you don't need to hit the gym everyday. Women look to other qualities besides a perfect body, so don't stress over this one.
  
  
• Posture - Stand up straight when you walk and keep your shoulders back.
  
  
• Body Language - This one is very important. A woman can read your body language before you say a word. Do a little research on the subtleties of body language so you can present the right image right from the start.

Not only do nice clothes impress a woman, but they can also really help improve your own confidence. Men's fashion magazines are a good place for a little research on what's trendy right now, or you can take a female friend shopping for some personal style advice.

3. Beliefs

The right attitude and mind-set is crucial for dating success. You need to feel you are worthy of having a wonderful woman as a partner, and you have to have a positive outlook that this will happen for you. Get rid of any negative thoughts and keep a positive state-of-mind in order for the Universe to bring you what you want.

4. Communication Skills

Can you just walk up to a stranger and start a conversation? You're going to find that this is a vital skill to have both in the dating game, and in everyday life too.

For now, just make an assessment of your social style, whether you are an outgoing extrovert, or a quiet introvert.

Either way, you don't have to make huge changes in your personality all at once. You can take small steps to work towards being more comfortable in a social setting.

Your first baby-step might be to start making more eye contact with women. Try it every day for a week or more until you can do it without feeling anxious. After that, say hi to people you meet out on the street. You don't need to make conversation, just say hi. It's not that hard, and another good baby-step.
