Attention, all available Men! When it comes to attracting the same sex, there are a few simple rules you must obey. Follow these hot dating tips and you'll never put a foot wrong again!
PORTABLE WARDROBE
Be prepared for surprise meetings or drink/dinner dates that leave you little time to make yourself look irresistible. Always keep spare clothes (including shoes) in your bottom drawer at work, along with a small make-up bag for touch-ups.( condoms lube after shave and few other stuff that you might need) Note: this also comes in handy when you don't make it home after a big night and need to do a quick change before your colleagues arrive at the office and start gossiping!
MAINTAIN YOUR BIKINI LINE ( It’s not for everyone )
If your casual romance is heating up, keeping your bikini line neat and tidy will prevent any embarrassing moments. If your downstairs is starting to look a bit like the Amazon jungle, perhaps it's time to go Brazilian. Be sure to get a wax every 5-6 weeks - it will make you feel sexier and give you a huge confidence boost.
NO HAPPY LAPS
So you're at a bar and you're sitting at a table in couples hell. You decide to excuse yourself to scout the room for potential partners - a few laps past that hottie is surely the best way to get him to notice you, right? Wrong! This may seem like a good idea at the time, but guys are onto this tactic and can sense the desperation! Save yourself the embarrassment of being the laughing-stock of the bar and don't go out of your way to get noticed. You'll often find subtlety is the key to winning his heart.
AVOID TEMPTATION
If you don't want to sleep with him, say no. It's that simple. If this is too difficult for you (some guys just can't resist!), then don't shave before heading out on the town. The thought of him discovering that your legs are pricklier than his beard will be enough of a deterrent!( For some of them not all)
LESS IS MORE
How many times have you received a compliment when you think you're not looking your best? Guys love it when we're dressed casually and look comfortable - like in jeans and a T-shirt with messy hair and little or no make-up. ( Well some guys into it but not all though) We look more approachable and down-to-earth, as opposed to a dolled-up, high-maintenance guy
.EMERGENCY KIT
Just like you would never go camping without a first aid kit, you should never face the world as a single guy without an emergency dating kit. Must-haves include headache tablets, condoms, vitamin B supplements, tissues, chewing gum or mints, lip balm, deodorant and a mini bottle of your signature perfume. If you're staying at his place, a quick spritz just before bed will leave your scent on his sheets.
IGNORE BOOTY CALLS
You don't want to be "that" guy the object of your desire calls every time he's feeling randy. You deserve more than that. Say no to him every once in a while. Making yourself unavailable may even make you seem more mysterious and appealing to him. It will show him that you have a life and aren't sitting around waiting for his call - even if you secretly are!
DITCH THE LIP GLOSS
Your lips may look juicy and kissable, but the truth is, guys hate puckering up to a girl whose lips are covered in lip gloss. A little colour is fine, but steer clear of the super sticky, extra fruity kind - especially at the end of the evening when things are heating up!
STROKE HIS EGO
It's a fact - guys like to hear nice things about themselves. To get him to notice (and remember) you, pay him a compliment to stroke his ego. Tell him he smells good or that you like his shirt and it really shows off his muscles. Then kindly excuse yourself and rejoin your friends. He'll be left feeling chuffed and wanting more.
MAKE HIM WAIT
If you really like this guy, don't give in to his sexual advances straightaway. Go on at least four dates with him before jumping into the sack. If it's a relationship you're after, you want to convey the message that you're

You've done it: You've met someone for that initial face-to-face, and things are going swimmingly.

You like this person, and it seems like the feeling's mutual. Now, all that remains is asking this person for date #2... but let's face it, "I had a great time, wanna meet up again?" doesn't exactly sound that clever or convincing, does it?

That's why we've found some far more engaging ways to broach the question. Try them, and you may be surprised how much easier it is to ask - and how often you'll get a yes!

Do some prep!
Here's one move you can put in motion even before you've set out on date #1: Flip through the local newspaper and take note of some upcoming events that you'd deem date-worthy.

Then, once you are face-to-face and feeling good about it, slyly slip those events into the conversation, like "I've really been into the band The Flying Conchords lately. Ever heard 'em?" If their reaction seems favorable, at the end of the date (or in the ensuing days), you can say, "I heard that they're in town next weekend. Want to go?"

The fact that you've already tested out their interest level during your first meeting means you'll have insider info on whether they'll be gung-ho to go, which is always a good thing.

Play opposites
First dates are often limited in scope: coffee, cocktails, lunch - relatively risk-free locations that can be easily escaped from if you two aren't feeling a love connection.

Once that's done with, though, it pays to try something that's completely different to show this person date #2 won't be the same old, same old.

You can even call it out: "Now that we've done the swanky cocktail thing, maybe it's time to proceed to the blue-jeans portion of our courtship and go hiking." Or, "Since I think our last coffee date proved that we're kindred spirits, how about we see how we'd do as adversaries over a game of pool?" The subtle challenge implied in such a statement will show just how wonderfully unpredictable you can be and tempt anyone to take you up on it.

Listening, not just hearing
Nothing impresses dates more than proof you were actually listening to what they were saying - and that's why you should keep your ears perked throughout date #1 for any and all of their interests and unfulfilled whims.

So, if he waxed on and on about the comic genius of Will Ferrell, suggest seeing Will's latest movie for your next date or renting Happy Feet- The Best of Will Ferrell for a cozy-but-gut-busting evening in. But also know that picking up on your date's smaller, more offhand comments will pack an even bigger punch.

So if he briefly mentioned he can't tell the difference between a Gerwurtraminer or a Viognier, suggest "Hey, how about we try a wine tasting so you're no longer in the dark about it?" It'll make him think, "Wow, I can't believe he remembered I said that!"

Say it with Hallmark
Or, well, whatever kind of card strikes your fancy. You can send a cheeky e-greeting with a funny message (that's funny, not sexy, not sleazy, and not offensive), or you can go the ol' snail-mail route and send a postcard that says, 'Thank you, I'd love to do that again' or 'That was fun - here's your formal invitation for further hijinx.'

Hey, in today's texty, voice-maily, instant-feedback world, a little extra level of formality can really make you stand out from the crowd.
Tell a fortune
If date #1 is going well, end it with a little view into the future. You don't actually have to be a fortune-teller, just say with a wink, "Did you know I'm a palm reader? Here, let me know show you," and take your date's hand. Tracing the lines there, say, "Hmmm, I see another date in your future." Trace further. "Oh, and look at that! It's with me!"

A variation to consider: If Chinese fortune cookies land on your table post-dinner, say that yours says "Someone close to you right now is free next Friday. Ask them out."

How cute is that? And who doesn't appreciate a d

Sometimes your friends set you up and sometimes you do it to yourself. But there are things to look out for on a first date to make sure that you don't end up spending years of your life on someone who just wasn't worth it.

The starters have just arrived, and you wish you could go home already. You have a vague sense of unease that you can't quite place and you're starting to plot an escape route. Here follows a short guide to people you shouldn't date more than once.

Boozing Barnaby. If Barnaby isn't sober on your first date, he's never going to be. Look out for signs of excessive alcohol consumption - is he incoherent; does he drive erratically; has he gone to the car with some weak excuse during the evening; have you only had one glass of the bottle you shared? Alcoholism is a disease and Barnaby isn't going to stop boozing because you ask him nicely. He doesn't need a date - he needs rehab. Why take this on?

Tell-All Tyra. You've known Ty-Ty baby for all of half an hour and he's told you how many relationships he's had before (14), he's told you what he earns, that his brother is in rehab - in short everything except his grandmother's inside leg measurement (38 cm). Whereas he doesn't even know what your surname is, or what you do for a living. Where's the mystery? Get out while you still can.

Sponging Sebastian. Seb likes going to fancy places. Problem is, he doesn't much like paying for them. You would have been happy with the local hamburger joint, but he booked at the expensive Greek restaurant three miles away. Only when it came to settling the bill, his wallet was nowhere to be found. Surprise!! And you got the feeling that this 'loan' was never going to be paid back. And you were right. Sebastian isn't ever going to pay his way. In fact, you think he should write a book called "A User's Guide To Sponging ". Change your phone number.

Lenny Come Lately. Unless there is a real excuse such as an accident or a serious hailstorm, Lenny cannot be excused for being late. He might be using his late coming to get you off-balance, or to try and make you think that he is more important than you are. (Hmm... he does think that.) Drop Lenny. If he can't be on time for the first date, a life with him will be a sheer hell of waiting around in parking lots, or missing the first 20 minutes of every movie you go and see. Just. Don't. Go. There.

Bragging Bibiana. If you've cut your hand, hers was so bad, it became gangrenous. You've got a stomach pain, but it doesn't quite match up to his suspected intestinal tumour. Bibi brags non-stop about everything - from his family, to his finances, to his cushy jobs. Nothing you do can come close to what he's experienced. He has devastatingly low self-esteem, which is why he finds it necessary to do a constant PR job on himself. Hit the road - you don't feel like propping up someone's sagging self-esteem for thirty years.

Babbling Britney. It doesn't stop for a second. After twenty minutes of being in his company, you feel as if you've been koshed on the head. He talks like a dam sluice in a flood. You can feel your heart beating in your chest, a sense of claustrophobia is setting in and your left eye is roaming the room, searching for an escape route. For Britney there is only one person on earth - and that's her. And he also has achievement issues - he's been everywhere, done everything, got all the T-shirts. And in all his endless tales he somehow always emerges as the heroine. (Funny that he's living in someone's backyard flat and has had seven jobs in the last year). Brit doesn't need to go out on dates - he probably needs a therapist and medication. And a head-on collision with reality.

Ex-Obsessed Eugene. Eugene's ex-boyfriend drank, had affairs, and neglected the children.(if he has any) he is also set on making his life a living hell. Or so he says. Over and over again. By the end of the evening you know everything about the ex-wife, but nothing abo
