#5 Let's dig in a bit

So I've realized there should be some sort of standards on how you treat an individual when you are looking to date.
I'm not some crazy old fashioned thinker that thinks you need to take me to a fancy restaurant and show up at the door with flowers, etc etc. C'mon let's get real, in this economy most of us don't have the money for that, and why would you want to spend that kind of money on someone you don't even know. If you like her, I think that bringing her a flower is a nice touch. Taking her out to eat somewhere is nice too, but it doesn't have to be over the top. Women just appreciate the gesture. Sometimes ordering in, with a movie at home on the couch is even better.
Try to make time in your schedule to see her at least once a week. If you go more than a week without seeing her, and you don't have an good excuse like vacation, you have just proved to her that you really aren't into her.

Let me give you a great example:
I get together with "a guy" and everything goes great. We spend hours talking. No awkward silences. The next day we even talked through text through out the whole day. He expresses how much he enjoyed his time with me and says he likes me. Which was nice, I liked him too. Then besides talking through IM and text, I didn't see him for almost 3 weeks. Then he has all these stories to tell me about the women he has been dating in the meanwhile. But ends the night by telling me how much he likes me again.....................
Too little, too late. With this one I was even upfront enough to tell him that I liked him and I wanted to see him on one of his days off. By him not making time for me in all of that time that passed, it just proved to me, that I wasn't important in the slightest to him. Why would I want a man like that for my partner?

Men need to remember that women are thinking that. Would I want him to be with me for the rest of my life? ..... they should act accordingly.... Then again so should some women.
