Going back to dating

When you’re in this game for some time and you get the hang of it, it really seems easy to you to get a girl/woman, however, when you’ve been out for a while, it may seem pretty hard to go back in. the transition to single life is pretty difficult, regardless of what your friend may tell you, but here is some advice for you to clarify this enigma.

Take it slow

No one forces you to dive right back into the dating game and start getting numerous women’s phone numbers, because you might not get the results you want. It is recommended for you to take things slow and one step at a time, as you have to re-master and refine your dating skills.

Try blind dates

Your friends can help you with setting you up on a blind date, with a femme fatale which will break the ice for you going back into the dating game and will also help you regain your self-confidence. It doesn’t mean it will all go smooth and you will be successful from the first try, but all the fails and “bruises” that you can consider battle scars will help you on the long run with perfecting your dating skills and techniques.

Make use of your Little Black Book

Although you will get some phone numbers, expect to have some pretty short phone conversations with certain women, so be prepared for rejection, as mentioned before, it’s not something abnormal, but actually part of the dating process. You will be tempted then to take out your infamous little black book of contacts, but listen to this advice: use your odds wisely and go for the ones that are more likely to offer you what you want, whatever that is. Here’s an example: if you were intimate with X, chances are you can be again. But never go for two girls in the same friend circle, as you will definitely regret it. So, if X and Y are friends, better if you just contact one of them, and not go all Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible, because after all, that is just a movie and you’re not Tom Cruise, so why take the chances and become a subject of discussion?

The rules of the dating game remain the same, so whether you are 25 or 45, it doesn’t make much of a difference, just make sure that the woman you are after pretty much wants the same things, because if she doesn’t, you are not going anywhere. Plus, if you have some experience by now, you should know better not to make the same mistake twice. Always be respectful and caring and try to maintain the etiquette of a good lover, because even if she didn’t give what you wanted the first time, it doesn’t mean that it won’t happen the second or the third. Always leave a good impression, because you never know when you come by her phone number again, and even if she is already committed to someone by the time you call her again, she can still consider you a friend and help you set up that blind date we were talking about earlier. So, don’t worry if you haven’t been in the dating game for some time because all men can get right back into it; you just need to be prepared!
