Divorced Guys - #6 Remember your manners

Part 6 of 7 Series

Remember the manners you used when you were just out of high school. In a marriage situation, you became comfortable with each other and stopped hopping up whenever your wife left or entered the room.

However with each new woman you meet you need to display the manners you were taught as a boy. Don't take a woman for granted the way one does when there is a familiar air of predictability. Always ask, never assume you know what she wants or doesn't want just because your 'ex' liked things a certain way.

It is easy to think all women want the same things. Never assume. Some women are really offended if you don't open doors or pull out chairs for them, whilst others think it's unnecessary, just never assume.

Show consideration in small ways. Don't assume you know what will make her happy. Let her tell you what she likes and doesn't like. Surprises are best kept for women you know really well.

Start with a clean slate and have no expectations of what women want and don't want because you will find they are all different. Just because your 'ex' was not punctual, don't assume all women will be late or that she won't enjoy the football or camping.

Every woman is different so encourage her to talk about the things she likes etc.

Some women like to eat before a show and others prefer to eat afterwards. If you are planning to invite her to a dinner and a show don't forget to ask her when she would like to eat.

The woman who falls asleep during a show if she has had a couple of drinks will be just as disappointing as the woman who hates eating late because she has a big day tomorrow. When you know what makes her happy – you will be able to make her happy.
