Dating Workshops in May – London and Birmingham

I’m runing four more workshops in London and Birmgham in May. And two of them fall on a weekend…the Flirting Safari in London on Saturday 15 May and a Dating Masterclass in Birmingham on Sunday 23 May.

The Flirting Safari is a unique experience to develop and practice your chat-up skills. You will be with a handful of people who, under my guidance, will practice how to approach and talk to complete strangers in city centre shops and bars. For more information and to book go to www.thedatingdoctor.co.uk/news/events/

The Dating Masterclass is a practical dating workshop that’ll have a big impact on your dating results. Whether you’re just still looking or back on the dating scene after a break up, this one-day workshop will give you some new ideas and impetus to move forward. For more information and to reserve your place www.thedatingdoctor.co.uk/news/events/

And if you to www.thedatingdoctor.co.uk/news/events/ you’ll see a full list of my workshops.

Hope to see you soon.

What Your Handshake Says About You

The way that you shake hands and say “hello” says so much about you. The other person will clearly spot how you feel about yourself and how you feel about them. And there are four handshakes that you must avoid at all costs because they say bad things about you.

The wet fish feels exactly as it sounds. Limp and with the fingers rather than the palm. It says “I’m uncomfortable meeting you and don’t feel good about myself.” In other words you have low self-esteem and lack confidence. Unfortunately many women do the ‘wet fish’ when they shake hands with a man. So please don’t do it.

The bone cruncher is very unpleasant and sometimes can be painful. It’s generally done by men who want to show how strong and powerful they are. But they’re usually the opposite. Someone who’s powerful has a certain aura and doesn’t need to show off with the bone cruncher.

The over-hander is another dominant handshake. It’s where you subconsciously twist the palm of your hand horizontal as you start to shake hands so their hand is underneath yours. It sends the message that you feel superior to them and they’re beneath you. It’s not very nice as it will make them feel very uncomfortable.

The pump-primer is where you just won’t let go and the handshake seems to go on for ever. It’s a sign that, although you’re trying to be friendly, you feel anxious and nervous. If someone does the pump-primer to you and you want stop it, just firmly drop your arm down and open your hand so they have to let go.

A proper handshake is easy. Face the other person, look them in the eyes (or at their face if you prefer) and hold out your hand so you shake with your palms together. Smile and say “hello” with a nice warm and friendly voice. You will then come across as confident, relaxed and pleased to meet them.

Ten More Dating Tweets

 

  • What you say is not as important as how you look and how you sound. You must come across as confident, relaxed & friendly.
  • “The one thing we can never get enough of is love. And the one thing we can never give enough of is love.” Henry Miller
  • Have no expectations so you can shrug off the fear of rejection.
  • Read their body language when you chat to them so you get a feel for what they think of you.
  • Switch off your iPod when you’re out and walk with an open and friendly posture. You’ll be surprised what happens.
  • If you chatup two people together, treat them the same and let them decide.
  • There’s a pick-up agenda in clubs & bars. This doesn’t happen when you chatup strangers in shops, airports & art galleries.
  • “Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.” Dr. Seuss
  • Most couples start out arguing about one thing and, within five minutes, are arguing about the way they are arguing.
  • When you flirt by laughing at silly things together and make sure you touch them on the upper arm at the same time.

A Dozen Ways Women Flirt With Their Eyes

Women have 52 flirting signals, whereas men have only ten. Of the 52, they have twelve which use their eyes to connect and attract men. The list below is not in any particular order.

The Flirting Triangle is when she looks at your eyes, down to your mouth and back to your eyes. She will usually do this when you are talking.

The Lingering Look sends the signal that she can’t take her eyes off you. She uses this when you are both in a small group of people and you’re doing the talking. When you finish speaking she will continue to look at you for a few seconds longer before she looks at the person who’s taken over the conversation.

The Look Away and Back is when she makes eye contact with you and then looks away for a few seconds before she looks back to make eye contact again and smile.

The Sexy Look Across the Room is a form of the look away and back, but it’s across a crowded room. She will make eye contact with you and smile. You will watch as she looks slowly around the room before she comes back to you and makes eye contact again with another big smile. She can do this from over thirty feet away and the message is that you are the most interesting man in the room.

The Sideways Glance. She will use this when she’s sitting to the side of you, but nor next to you. She will glance at you quickly and then back so you catch the movement out of the corner of your eye. If you don’t she will do it again with a bigger movement. As you turn to look at her, she will look back so your eyes meet and she will smile or give you a Peek-a-Boo or Diana look. She can use the Sideways Glance up to fifteen feet away.

The Glance Back is sometimes called the over the shoulder glance and it’s when she looks back at you with her head tilted down slightly. This is the famous old movie signal where they look back as they ride off into the sunset and is a classic way to pull the heart strings. She might combine the Glance Back with a wink or she could lower her head and give you the Diana look as well.

The Diana Look is when she tilts her head down and looks at you from under her eyelids, she might combine it with a blink to flash her long eyelashes at you. She often uses the Diana Look when she’s taking a sip of her drink.

The Eyebrow Flash is probably self-explanatory. It’s the term I use to describe how she raises both her eyebrows at you for less than a second. She might raise only one, in that case it’s quite a cheeky signal and has sexual connotations in Japan.

Peek-a-Boo is when she looks as you demurely behind something. It could be a menu or a magazine. In the 19th century it would have been a fan. It’s a playful peek-a-boo game that women often use to play with men.

Wink. Need I say any more except that sometimes she winks quite quickly so you may not notice it.

The Mouth Gaze. This is a very sexual signal where she stares at your mouth for about ten seconds when you’re talking. It will probably melt you.

The Come Hither Stare is when you both make direct eye contact across the room and she looks you up and down. She will finish at your eyes with a smile, she might even combine it with an eyebrow flash or a wink. You’d be a fool to ignore this one.
