Happy Halloween.
In celebration of Halloween I thought I’d put a little dating twist on the scary, scary subject of telling someone you like them. It can be terrifying but it can also be very rewarding…so find the courage and tell him already.
Women often turn off guys they like by coming on way too strong. Making plans for a vacation or talking about your future children names are great examples of just that. Instead, compliment your new guy to let him know you’re game, but not looking to win the series right now. Here are a few ideas for you:
1. Laugh at his jokes. Seems small, but you’ll make him feel great.
2. Show some confidence by deciding on when and where your third or fourth (or both) dates will be. Guys get tired of asking girls out and making all the decisions so make sure there is an equal amount of give and take.
3. Use that body language. Sit facing him, part your lips just a bit, touch his shoulder from time to time, and smile often.
4. Say, “You’re right.” This doesn’t need to be used in the context of an argument, but rather after he states an opinion you agree with or facts about something you feel strongly about. We all like to feel “right” but men especially like to be on top.
5. Introduce your man to your friends followed by something nice that won’t embarrass him. For example, “Hi Judy, this is Bob. Bob just got back from a month-long trip to South America and was telling me about some amazing hiking. Judy, didn’t you go somewhere to hike last summer?” The more interesting and impressive you make him feel the more he’ll like you.

Many-a-writers have discussed what it is like to date geeks, to love geeks, and even to marry geeks. There are advantages to dating a geek like the fact that he is probably very smart and professionally successful. There is also the reality that he is easily the nicest and most considerate of all your other boyfriends put together, and the fact that he never takes you for granted. A nerdy-partner will appreciate you and tell you that often.
The Not-so-Great Side of Dating a Geek
He’s probably shorter than you and your friends have no idea why you like him because he’s so shy he won’t talk to them. Don’t forget about the pros and cons of dating a nerd. Never get too far in a relationship with thinking through why you like him or her.

Here are four reasons why food is important to most men.
Grilling - Men often associate work done outside as manly work. Add meat into the mix and grilling is the ultimate masculine chore.
Paying for Dinner – Men want to be the Alpha for their spouse and family. Being able to pay for dinner—or whatever—allows him to feel in charge and like he is providing for you. But don’t go overboard. He certainly appreciates you picking up the tip or post-dinner drinks from time to time too.
Steak = Man - This goes back to cave man times. More men than women enjoy red meat and some studies have proven that the redder the meat the more men will enjoy it.
It Reminds Him of His Mom - Traditionally it’s the mom that cooks for her children. Growing up in a home with reoccurring dishes and homemade specialties stays with a person. For a man, the smell of yummy foods emanating from the kitchen reminds them of their youth and of their mother whom they always have a soft spot for.
All of these reasons why food is so important to your boyfriend are certainly generalizations and not always the case. However, there is no denying that food can bring about overwhelming emotions.
