Be Assertive

Most women like men to take the initiative, at least at the beginning of the dating period. When you phone her to set a date, have in mind at least two attractive options to offer. Don’t contact her and ask her what she wants to do without proposing an alternative yourself, or she will most likely think that you are lazy or not putting enough interest.

For example, if you talk to her and the topic of your date comes up, say something like: “Well, I had thought we could go to this new amazing restaurant downtown… And I have also been wanting to go to the new bowling center in the mall… Did you have anything in mind?” If she likes one of your options, she will tell you, and if she doesn’t, she will propose something else and you will have demonstrated your assertiveness. If she says she doesn’t care, just choose out of the two.
