If there is one thing that guys don't like about women it is 'desperation'.
A desperate woman is emotionally unstable and will be reason for more grief than joy for the guy she is dating.
Here is how you should act so that you don't come across as a desperate woman.
Stand your ground You don't have to be at his beck and call whenever he pleases.
Cancel on him a few times.
If you feel that you will loose him if you do that then obviously he is not the right guy for you.
If you continue to date such a guy very soon you will be his doormat or maid.
Let him plan the dates You don't have to show your desperation for dates.
It is his duty to wow you.
Let him do all the planning.
If you plead for dates then he will take advantage of you and dump you when he meets someone hotter than you.
Don't let him walk over you Constructive criticism is one thing but if you take all that he throws at you then the relationship is going nowhere.
There can be disagreements but they should be civil.
However, make sure that all disagreements are solved by a little give and take.
Life outside the relationship Just because you began dating this guy does not mean you abandon all your girlfriends.
Have a vibrant social life outside so that you are not too dependent on your man for fun.
He will also appreciate this as he will have some free time for his buddies.
Don't mother him Well, he already has a mother and does not need another one that will manage his life for him.
Taking care of all his needs when he is not even your husband will make him take you for granted and he will come to expect more and more from you.
Stop! You need to be his girlfriend/lover and not his mother.
This way you will not show desperation and he will respect you as his girl/lover.
Fiercely guard your space When you guard your space you send him a message that you are not desperate.
Don't call him a hundred times during the week.
At times a little distance will bring the two of you closer than when you are stuck like Siamese twins.
Low maintenance girlfriend Offer to pay some of the expenses when on a date.
You can't always expect him to pay.
Doing so will ensure that you are labeled as a high maintenance girlfriend.
Your independence both financial and emotional will ensure that you are not desperate.
