Dear Wendy Gives Dating Advice For Dudes
I’m a guy who has been dating online for a year and a half with very limited success. Aside from one two-month relationship, the process has been a total failure. I’m an only child from a family that never talked about sex or dating, so it’s no surprise that romance is the only area of my life in which I’m painfully shy. In fact, most of what I’ve learned about “what women want” is from female friends who tell me about getting hit on by creepy guys. As a result, I’m overcautious about compliments and physical contact to avoid being one of those creeps. Second dates aren’t any better, and by then even I know that I’m coming off as cold. So, Wendy, how much complimenting should a guy do on a first date? How do you casually touch on a first date, or is that creepy? Do women expect a goodnight kiss after a first online date (assuming it went well), or is a friendly hug the standard until date number two? I know that I can’t read my dates’ minds, but nobody taught me the basic etiquette and I feel like I’ve been very withdrawn as a result. Heck, I’ve avoided asking girls out again because I’m so afraid of getting slapped for trying to kiss them at the end! — Walking on Eggshells
