Acing the First Date!
Believe it or not, but men actually have boundaries. If you cross one of a man's boundaries, you can definitely expect a negative reaction. Even something as simple as a word can make a man mad, can turn a man off, or can even chase him away. In terms of the bigger picture, however, men are still relatively simple creatures. Men generally only have three major turn-offs, but they're still turn-offs that you want to avoid at all cost.
Don't be too needy. Give your man the space he needs and desires. Let him live his own life, hang out with his own friends, and do what he wants to do. If you begin to insist that he only spends his time doing things that you approve of, or that he spends every waking moment in your presence - or worse, that he spends every waking moment tending to your every need - he's going to feel more smothered than hash browns at the bottom of a plate of onions. If you don't give him the room he needs to breathe, he's going to run away gasping for air.
Don't talk about money. Everyone is sensitive when it comes to the subject of money, but men are especially so. In modern society, earning money is the equivalent of a successful hunt. A man considers his ability to provide the very measure of his masculinity, so the minute you bring up money, you essentially call his masculinity into question.
The absolute worst thing you can do is actually suggest that he spend his money on you. Let him spend on you if he wants to, but don't breathe a word about it, otherwise, you'll just come off looking like a spoiled brat. Nobody wants to date a spoiled brat.
