A Few Things Women Wish Men Would Do On Dates

I must say that dating today is so very different than how it used to be. We meet someone we like, phone numbers are exchanged and so begins the 'talking' process. There's nothing better than getting to know someone through text messages, right?

Okay, this is probably aimed more towards millennials because we grew up in a much different time. We grew up with technology. However, I am personally fortunate that I was raised in an old fashioned way. That's right, I am a hopeless romantic.

Growing up, I was taught that there are a few things to expect from a guy, especially when it comes to going on dates. Coincidentally, I recently came across an article listing things women wish men would do on dates. In my opinion, the article was spot on!

Here are the things the article listed:

• Actually ask her out on a date.
  • Not to 'hang out' or 'chill'
• Open doors for her and pull her chair out
• Show her that she isn't the only one who is nervous
  • Especially if it is your first date
• Don't play on your phone the whole time
  • This goes for both of you
• Don't talk about your sex life
• If you ask her something, actually pay attention to her answer
• When the bill comes, do not analyze it.
  • Just pay it and be done with it

My mother is the oldest of seven children which includes five boys. My grandmother taught all of them that it is respectful to be a gentleman and open doors for all women and to always pick up the bill. She would also fuss her daughters, and granddaughters, if they were to ever say that they didn't need a man to pay for anything.

This statement is true. Ladies, you do not need a man to do anything for you. What you do need to do is always him to be a man. Let him be a protector, let him spoil you just a little bit, and simply let him take care of you. Take care of each other. It is as simple as that.

Well now that that is out of the way... You now have a brief look into my relationship goals.

This has been another Terryn 101 course!
