Dating 101 - An Introduction

Dating can be a pretty scary thing. You've got to put yourself out there for someone else, let them get to know you a bit, and hope they aren't crazy. And the worst thing is, they're going through the EXACT SAME THING you are! So, here you have two people, trying to find common ground, without coming off as totally insane to the other person. It's a bit intimidating, to say the least.

But let's be honest, here... With the right two people, and the right level of interest, you can get over those nervous feelings within a few minutes and enjoy the rest of the night. Maybe even go out again sometime. It's a pretty fantastic thing, to say the least.

But you know what isn't fantastic? The number of people out there who still manage to do it wrong. You can have two great people, who are really interested in each other, but one of them will make some minor slip-up for one reason or another, and the whole thing starts tumbling down. We've all been there, we've all had it happen. Hell, most of us have probably caused it to happen. It's just a part of life. The problem is when it keeps happening because someone doesn't realize they're making a mistake. This is usually where friends step in and give advice, like "Man, you just need to cool your jets and not rush so much", or "Girl, seriously, stop getting all possessive". Anyone can make any number of mistakes at the start of the dating game. So, speaking as a guy who has been on the receiving end of some of that crazy, I'd like to give a few pointers I think both sexes can take to heart. That's what this is for.
