An honest mistake will usually be forgiven; one that comes from insensitivity or selfishness may not be. Look out for these common dating mistakes men make!

Women make some of these mistakes too.





Why do you guys at eH keep starting these kinds of threads?

The eH articles focusing toward women generally talk about what women should do. The articles focus on men generally discuss what we're not doing. The tone of these types of articles is different. I think the articles toward men take this slant because we are in essence "interviewing for a job" when approaching a woman. The pressure is always on the person being interviewed, and thus that person tends to "make more mistakes." I think it is a given that most women only need to "show up" to get interest from men, whereas for men this is not enough.

Didn't Harrison Ford say so in Six Days and Seven Nights? Wasn't that a documentary on how to get a man? Be obtuse, biotchy, high-maintenance but get stranded on a desert island with him long enough that he gets to see that you actually do have a heart underneath that shrewish, scrawny, girl-loving chest?


Oh my goodness....I think I've been doing this all wrong.

Good memory LBMM, he did say that to Anne Heche, and it is pretty true (so long as you're attractive). But I wouldn't want Anne Heche, that woman is missing some chunks out of her brain; good actress though
