What's an ability, method, or strategy you've learned or devised that you think has been valuable to you when dating? How about when in a relationship?

 

I thought of this question in the middle of the night last night, when I realized how good I'm getting at shifting around in bed without pulling the sheets away from my partner. I was pretty proud of myself for being able to turn 180 without disturbing her or the bed. But that's just a silly little thing. There are so many things that go into dating, that everyone must have stuff they're proud of and rely on to make it happen. What are yours?

The skill of being able to adapt while maintaining emotional durability and stability.

Becoming awesome helped me with the ladies.

I'm really, really good at creating a fantasy-like atmosphere.

 

I try to be this magical, charming guy, like the kind you only see in movies.

 

I'm very theatrical when it comes to dating and always go over the top with my charm. Blur the lines between reality and fantasy.

 

I present myself as this moment in time where you can be totally free and passionate and all that stuff. This guy who comes into your life out of nowhere and changes it in a big way. And you really throw yourself into it completely.

 

It's not enough for me to be just some guy you're dating. I need to be the guy.

Happy within myself and not giving a damm.

My uncanny ability to convince women I like them for something other than sex.

I am caring and always want the guy i am with to be happy. Now I don't mean putting someone's happiness above my own. But be willing to learn about the things that interest him, taking an interest in his family school and work, giving him his own space when needed and being a good listener - and a home cook meal doesn't hurt either.

It takes all kinds to make the world go 'round. That's a fact.

 

My skill is to get what I really and honestly want out of life, as a generality. This appears to mesh well with men of similar ilk.

I am thoughtful and I like to do little things to make other people know they are cared for.

 

I think I can also make the person who I am with laugh, mostly through my self-depricating humor. Its important to be with someone who you can look back at whatever went wrong during the day and joke around about it.

patience and chivalry (not dead).

If I can only go with one, for me it was confidence.:cool:

 

When you have confidence you have the ability to do so many things.

That too, but a very large portion of reasonable expectations comes along with the confidence.

and those expectations will most likely differ per person.

confidence is great, but I'm probably more attracted to a warm/loving/caring personality than anything else

 

 

I'm not sure if it's different with women

Those are good but it doesn't have anything to do with one skill that each of us possess that has helped up in the dating world.

What about stuff like "I always bring a toothbrush" or "crepes on the third date"? Am I the only one who thinks about simple stuff like that? :(

Honestly I have zero skills, its extremely hard just to not get turned down immediately and get a date, for me just getting a date is a major accomplishment, and of the few dates I have had none progressed further than the 1st date. I'm terrible at this.

It makes you smell pretty good - if you don't overdo it.
