Rhode Island Backpage: Keep it Classy and Sassy!


It’s no mystery that great dates lead to great mates. It’s only natural that going on quality backpage dates with interested and available men will lead to a much better shot at love than their bad boy alternatives. So with that well known semi-mystery solved I’m sure you’re asking yourself the next logical question in this sequence of thought . . . so how do I start heading out on great dates?
Well I’m so glad you asked! I’ve got my own opinions but this week I thought, wouldn’t it be nice if we got the male Point of View on this topic? After all, who better than a great guy to tell us what the great guys are looking for and give us his best backpage dating tips on how to turn our perhaps lackluster love life into a more rewarding experience with loads of great dates (and eventually one very lucky mate)!
So I’ve turned to Brad Berkowitzauthor of The 21st Century Guide to Bachelorhoodto shed some light on the subject of basic do’s and don’ts for the single ladies out there. Wouldn’t you know it? Brad explains that the single biggest mistake backpage people make is a rapid pace. Yes, like the old saying goes – the flame that burns too fast goes out. Brad says, “A new relationship needs to grow.”
What are some ways you can avoid this common pitfall? Brad offers some helpful great dating tips:
  • Couples should limit themselves to getting together one or two times a week for the first two or three weeks.
  • The dates should be casual and fun.
  • Also, you should try not to pepper each other with too many questions because that can turn a date into an interview.
  • Once dating, A woman should let the guy know she is interested, but let him pursue her. Guys tend to get lazy and need to know that they have to plan dates, not just expect a girl to be waiting for him. Many men tend to wait until Thursday or Friday to ask a girl out for Saturday night. This is bad form and shows no interest. When this happens (please note that Mr. Berkowitz used the word ‘when’ and not ‘of’), a backpage woman should say, “I am glad to hear from you and would love to see you, but I have plans. I wish you would have called me earlier in the week.” This way, she shows interest, but lets the backpage guy know that she will not be waiting around all week for him to call.
  • Don’t hop into bed too soon! That’s right – keep things classy but sassy to start off slow.
Yes, sorry ladies – the always given and rarely adhered to (then of course later regretted) final tip Mr. Berkowitz shares is that backpage People starting relationships should not jump into bed too quickly either. You should get to know each other. Because, as he honestly shares, “Should they sleep with each other too soon and the relationship subsequently ends, both parties will regret the encounter. Girls need to remember that guys find it much easier to sleep with a woman before he is emotionally attached to her. He can separate sex from love much easier. In addition, should the couple break up, he can move on emotionally much faster than she can.”
