The Professional Woman's Guide to Dating

But do you sometimes feel like your record in the romance department is less than stellar? Is your return on investment in dating little to none?
We have done our fair share of dating. Some of our endeavors have been successful. Others, not so much.
But no matter how our experiences panned out, we certainly learned a lot along the way. And so we’ve created this dating guide to impart some of our hard-earned wisdom on those of you who may need a bit of keen (or at least laugh-worthy) insight.
Are we able to cover everything? Of course not. But we did our best to share what we’ve learned, bring in expert opinions and even get a man’s perspective on some of the most puzzling aspects of dating, from how to meet your match to how to interpret his attitude to appropriate post-date behavior.

I'm happily married, but as married women know, we often lose track of our girl friends - It's funny, but lots of these tips are applicable to getting to know and making a connection with anyone. It's important to prioritize relationships both romantic and otherwise :-)

It's been awhile since I've dated, someone sent this article to me so, maybe I'm ready to try again. I liked the details, well thought out.

this was an interesting article. I especially liked the responses from the guys. just goes to show that there are no standard pat answers. There's no formula for dating. when i first started reading this, i got a little nervous, but completely calmed down towards the end. after reading it, i think i'm ready for dating, again. i just hope the guys are ready for me.

What a great, comprehensive article! Everything you'd ever possibly want to know about the before, during and after... As far as "What Not to Say," another one to add to "overshares" is weight/body image/food issues ("Do you know how many calories are in that?!" or "Yeah, ever since I couldn't fit into those pants, I've decided to forgo carbs altogether." Guys HATE hearing about that kind of stuff and it just makes you look insecure. Very unsexy.

I think this is GREAT advice, as professional, accomplished women - we've often gotten where we need to go - business wise but neglected to place the same focus on our personal life. Garbage in - garbage out applies here too kids. Great start to not settling...and start searching intelligently. Good food for thought! - MyCityM (Twitter handle)
