In many aspects of life, timing is everything. This is often true when it comes
to relationships and dating. Ask too soon and you risk scaring the person off. Wait
too long to ask and you risk missing out altogether.
When it comes to relationships and dating, timing is responsible for ruining many
opportunities. Sometimes, you meet a woman who just got out of a long-term relationship
or had a very bad break-up. Other times, you might meet a woman who has just experienced
a family tragedy or one who is simply not looking to become romantically involved
with anyone at that time.
If you meet a certain someone who you think you would like to ask out on a date,
time it right because everything from the day of the week and time of day to go
out, to the length of a date needs to be carefully considered. What follows is a
list of things to consider when the dreaded "D" word comes up.
- There are only two days in a weekend, but five during the week. When picking a day
for your date, try a weekday. There are many benefits to a weekday date, including
the fact that weekdays are often not as busy as weekends, and a woman might appreciate
a nice time out in the middle of the week without having to sacrifice her weekend.
A nice date during a weekday might also turn into an even nicer weekend date sooner
than you think. At the same time, weekday dates are often shorter in terms of how
long they last, so if things are not going well, you can rest assured knowing it
will be over soon.
- Be flexible when selecting a time, day, and place for a date. Some people lead very
busy lives and providing them with choices when it comes to a date might improve
the odds that they will say yes to your offer. Always give a woman a couple of dates
to choose from, as well as a choice in time for the date. You can also give your
date several choices in terms of where to eat. Be careful however, you don't want
to come off as a person without a plan by giving your potential date too many choices.
- Know when it's quitting time. Persistence is good in some aspects of life, but it
isn't very attractive when it comes to asking someone out. Showing interest is fine,
but coming off like a man obsessed is not going to increase your chances of a "yes"
answer.
