5. After 5 email exchanges, stop emailing him. You do want a relationship with a real life man don’t you? Continuing the email pen pal back and forth exchange won’t give him any incentives to arrange a real date with you! And if he doesn’t want to meet with you by then, why not? Not wanting to meet you within a reasonable time is surely a red flag.
6. Don’t respond to unwanted attention from men that you aren’t truly interested in. Although some dating experts say to respond to each and every guy that emails you, I’ve discovered the hard way that some guys get angry if you explain that you’re not a match. For safety’s sake, just move on.
7. When meeting with him in person, listen more and talk less. If you’re like me, the more nervous you are, the easier it becomes to chatter too much on a first or second date. Since body language experts claim that 93% of communication is expressed non-verbally, it’s wise to focus on your date’s mannerisms, gestures and tone of voice. Then you’ll benefit from listening to your intuition to help you decide if you want to continue to see him again.
