Years ago when I was young and single I went through a dozen different roommates.. And some of those roommates were young, beautiful ladies. Having grown up with sisters it wasn’t a big deal to live with them, but obviously sexual tensions did arise.

One particular girl that I had literally had a crush on since my childhood lived with me for well over a year. Myself and another friend of mine lived with her. She’s cute (still is), fun, funny.. flirtatious. But we were friends.

Even though once in a while (usually during nights of drinking) we flirted with each other on a larger scale.. even tease kissing (not real passionate kissing.. just kissing to kiss.. I loved those days ).. we never took it further. We remained good friends.

Deep down in side I wanted more. But I didn’t want to wreck our friendship and I was mostly shy to take it further.

Guys, I’m confident that these traits:

• Confidence
• Calmness
• And Coolness

…Are outstanding if you are seeking women – dating. If you want to improve your chances with a woman and you want to have more success in your first dates and future relationships, working on these 3 things can have a huge impact on your effectiveness.

Confidence when mastered will be written all over your face and your words. Don’t be wishy washy.. don’t be unsure about the things you are doing or your life in general. Know where you’re going, know what you’re doing and make that obvious in your words and actions. Learn to hide hints of having lack of confidence.. even when you aren’t 100% confident; act like you are.

Calmness.. no one, especially when they first meet them, wants someone too hyper or exciteable. Ease into the conversation and reveal the calm side of your personality first.. let lose as you get to know the girl more over time. Some won’t mind, but this will turn a lot of girls off if on your first date you are nuts. Chill out.. slow down. Be calm.

And be Cool and Collected. Don’t worry about stuff and don’t talk like you are. This ties in with confidence and calmness. Be strong, sturdy as a rock and show her that you have control of yourself and everything around you; be cool. It doesn’t mean you have to be “The Fonz”, but don’t be Erkel either.

Work on it.. practice in front of the mirror. Become self-conscious of what you say. Even video tape yourself and play it back to see what kind of impression you get. Most of it is going to be obvious. Confidence, calmness and coolness are GREAT traits to achieve.

If you want to be successful with women, it starts by you working on yourself. Becoming a better man is not a bad thing; it’s all positive!

I enjoyed this article. Romance comes in a lot of different shapes and forms. It doesn’t have to be a pre-planned event. It can be simply things that you do for each other.

She starts off with the article talking about a romantic experience between two older couples she witnessed and then goes on to sight many more examples like this that are so simple..

What is romance?
Romance is a fancy steak dinner for two in a room lit purely by candles. It’s flowers on a random day and falling asleep in your lover’s T-shirt that smells like his cologne. It’s a date to a famous children’s bookstore and a shared slice of cherry pie—a stroll through a crowded museum that doesn’t feel crowded at all. It’s making toast for someone in the morning and drawing a heart in the butter, then watching it soak into the bread like it was never there at all, but you know it was.

Christine sights many, many more examples from having your toothbrushes next to each other to simply showing up when you say you will.. Many things you wouldn’t normally think of as romantic, but in their little ways are. Just being aware and being there for the other person in so many simple ways.

The most common romantic moments are simple and unplanned.
