What Every Woman

Should Know…

by Theo McNee

 If you’re out on the first date with a guy who plows ahead and orders dinner before you do or sits down before you do…don’t dismiss him as a social misfit who should know better.  Look for other important qualities and discover a way to teach him what he needs to know.

There are many good guys who get rejected because they lack “The Smooth Moves” in a social setting.  It’s important to note that just because a brother holds out your chair when you get ready to sit down, it doesn’t mean he’s going to be kind and affectionate in a relationship.  A smart woman looks for potential in a man’s character and encourages him to be the best he can be, through creative example and subtle direction.  Smooth moves should not come under a good character in the “qualities” column. 

In this area, men are far more tolerant when it comes to a woman’s ignorance of social graces than women are of men.  However, I haven’t always been patient with raw behavior.  I remember once taking a very pretty woman out on a first date to a friend’s birthday party, and she told a nasty joke that bordered on obscene.  I was embarrassed, to say the least, and I never called her again.  Later, I regretted it, when I spotted her out with a guy I played chess with who was brilliant.
