The "dinner" date shoudl be saved for a woman who Qualified for you.
End of freakin'; story.
Action dates or just Meeting Up is the way to go when you first meet her.
If she's interested, she will still like it.
She wants to see YOU. Not food, or some dumb movie. How is she going to get excited about you?
Do things together. Do somethign out of the ordinairy.
The dinner and a movie is so boring women will vomit if they hear somethign like that as a first date from a guy they are (were) interested in.
Don't do this sh*t anymore.
Save it for the girl whom you KNOW is LTR material.
No flowers, No candy, No Cards,
None of that sh*t for some girl you just met!!!
Do not qualify a girl just because she showed up! Or she's "hawt."
Fck that.
No "Thanks for coming!"
Don't be overly grateful to some chick because she decided not to stay home and watch TV.
She will think this is low value behavior.
"Why is he so grateful?"
"He must not go on too many dates."
"Maybe this guy really IS a chump."
"Maybe I made a mistake."
If other women don't want you, why should she?
IF you act in the typical AFC behavior, guess what?
This makes her think you don't know sh*t about women, and you must not have any experience with women.
Bad signs.
Avoid this behavior.
Here's something I just thought of, which helps me reason out proper behavior.
Put yourself in the plac that a woman you just met, bought you flowers, and candy, and cards, and bowed down to your every need, told you how much she "loved" you after the first date, was overly self deprecating, was very needy, and jealous, and suffocated you with her 24hour surveillance/attention?
How would you feel?
You'd next her. You'd say "That b1tch is crazy!! I'm outta here!"
Now take that and chew on it a while.
