Dating Pitfalls Women Should Avoid

Author: Lily Eckhardt

Although all women are different, we sometimes are faced with the same struggles. Whether they are from life, love, or work, our struggles tend to overwhelm us and therefore they make us less effective in whatever area the struggle derives from. One of the biggest areas that women are affected by in a similar way is dating. Dating Pitfalls for women are not really that big of a deal, because although they seem like Hell on earth, you really can fix the little issues and have a successful and fulfilling dating experience.

Let’s begin to change the pattern of things by listing some of the troubles that afflict women in relationships, and we’ll also give some solutions to those pesky issues.

Expected Monogamy:

This can be a HUGE deal breaker if the two of you have not yet discussed monogamy. Often, when a woman commits herself to a relationship, she will assume that the man she is with has done so also. However, if you two have never had the talk about being in a monogamous relationship with one another, you can’t reasonably expect him to be fully faithful. This doesn’t mean give up your guy. It just means have the conversation so you can avoid having the argument.

Drama:

Admit it, sometimes; we girls just have a flair for the dramatic. When we are feeling neglected or underappreciated, we may make things seem bigger than they are, just so we can get some attention. Men can become easily overwhelmed by the constant drama, so be straightforward. Let him know you need a little cuddling and togetherness. If he really cares, this will be the best approach you can use.

Overly Emotional:

It is okay if you have a little bit of the water works going on behind your pretty brown eyes. Crying is normal and talking usually helps with whatever is going on. However, ladies: remember that your guy is an entirely different type of person. He may not be as emotional as you are. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t care. Pay attention to the way he reacts to you, and you will see the ways he shows you that you matter to him.

These are just a few dating pitfalls that women deal with. I hope you now feel a little bit more prepared to handle the little snags in your love life.

    Absolutely, asking for advice is welcomed any time.

    Your situation is a very tricky one, and you will need to be very careful with what you decide to do or you could lose what may be two very good friends instead of just gaining a romantic relationship.

    The very first thing you need to do is determine whether or not he has any feelings beyond friendship for you. If he does not have the same feelings, my advice would be to do nothing but enjoy the two friendships you already have.

    Hope that helps and feel free to ask any other questions you might have.
