which in turn can make you look desperate. There is nothing wrong with a guy who likes to look good and has an interest in clothes but if this is the case you will have natural style. If you don't, stick to the basics of being clean and presentable and leave the latest style to those who wear it naturally.

Being indecisive; there is nothing worse than indecision in a man. Be ready to make suggestions during your date and if she doesn't mind, then make the choice. It's important to ask what she wants but it is also important to take the lead if she indicates that is what she wants.

Finally, don't assume you know what she is thinking. Assumption by either party is often the start of dating disaster.

What causes dating disasters? Most people will have at least one disastrous date in their lifetime of dating experiences which they will hopefully learn from but for some people it seems that one disastrous dating experience follows another. However, there are some very common dating delusions that many men are under and being aware of them could increase your chances of dating success.

Showing off; you will undoubtedly have many delightful qualities that will attract the girl of your dreams but there are ways of letting her know about them. It doesn't matter if you are telling her you have a sense of humour, earn a massive salary or like to save Rwandan children, the effect will be the same; it will turn her off. If you are genuinely funny demonstrate it in what you say and what you write. If you are a successful businessman then let it shine through in the things you do and your lifestyle and if you have charitable tendencies then discussing the issues rather than your contribution will impress her much more.

Only being interested in yourself; when men are nervous they tend to talk about themselves, their car, their job, their favourite sports team etc. Nervous or not, take the time to find out about her and show some genuine interest. Ask her some basic questions about what she likes and thinks. If you are trying to make contact with someone through an online dating site this is particularly important; keep your initial email short and show interest in her rather than talk about yourself.

Appearing to lack ambition and drive; fundamentally women want to be taken care of and being ambitious and knowing what you want from life is one way to demonstrate this ability to women. You don't have to want to be the next CEO of a global corporation, but you should have some goals and ambition in life that you strive for. Don't forget that women have their own ambition and drive too though.

Mixing up being a gentleman with being chauvinistic; most women like to have the door held open for them and generally feel taken care of. This does not mean they want to be controlled, belittled or kept! Your date may be more intelligent, more highly paid or more ambitious than you are so don't talk down to her and always treat her as an equal with respect and thoughtfulness.

Not caring about your appearance; whilst beauty is most certainly in the eye of the beholder, it shows a complete lack of respect, both for yourself and your date, to not bother to wash and put on clean clothes before you meet. Don't go overboard, but do pay attention to personal hygiene and cleanliness and wear something she won't be embarrassed being seen in public with you in.

Trying too hard with your appearance; if you are too perfectly groomed and styled it may be off putting as it looks like you are trying too hard, which in turn can make you look desperate. There is nothing wrong with a guy who likes to look good and has an interest in clothes but if this is the case you will have natural style. If you don't, stick to the basics of being clean and presentable and leave the latest style to those who wear it naturally.
