Why You Don't Have A Girlfriend by delectablegyal(f): 1:02pm On Oct 21, 2015
1. You go overboard with gifts
Unless you are in a steady relationship with a woman, it is better to avoid lavishing extravagant gifts on her - especially on the first few dates. If you turn up with a gift-wrapped diamond brooch or an exotic arrangement of orchids for her when you barely know each other, more likely than not she will be embarrassed at your over-the-top gestures. At worst, she is likely to get suspicious of your real intentions and feel that you are trying to buy her affections. Even if she is the kind of girl who can be hooked only by attractive gifts, consider if this is the right reason you want to have a partner for. So keep it subtle on the first few dates and let your gifts convey your thoughts for the person rather than be an excuse to show off your finances.


2. You come off as desperate
At the other extreme of unattractive male behavior is a desperate attempt to make a girl like you. You probably have been told that women are looking for guys who are sensitive, responsible, financially responsible and with a sense of humor too. However parroting these lines before her and repeating ad infinitum about the times you agreed to babysit your nephew or take the stray cat to the vet will hardly convince a woman to be your girlfriend. Rather she will suspect that you are trying too hard to win her and this will put her off. Instead focus on expressing your qualities through actions; also women are more wired to emotions, therefore it is how you act and make her feel that will determine her interest in you.


3. You are too nice a guy
Sometimes men despite being supportive and giving in a relationship find it difficult to keep a girlfriend – if you are one of these, probably you are being too nice and letting yourself being taken for granted. In order to get a woman to like you, it is not necessary that you turn yourself into a doormat and accommodate all her wishes. If she wants to fix up a date at an hour’s notice and you have an important meeting fixed for the evening, by all means tell her that you are unavailable. At the end of the day what a woman is really looking for is a guy who she can respect and admire and if you constantly put her needs ahead of yours, you will come off as unimportant and hence forgettable.


4. Getting too close too quickly
Women on the whole like to be sure of a guy before getting intimate with him. So one of the most common reasons why they reject a guy as a potential partner is because he tries to get physical with a girl before she has given a hint that she would like him to do so. Brushing past against a girl repeatedly, groping for her waist/hand, or kissing on the mouth without being invited to, are common goof-ups by men who think that they will come off as being sexy and desirable if they try to get physical with their partners. In fact they merely come off as annoying and desperate.
