We&rsquo;re here to help you understand why women are hitting the block button your profile instead of falling head over heels for you! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fancy a snog? Then read on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>It&rsquo;s all about you<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, she&rsquo;s interested in hearing about the time you went to Cairo but she&rsquo;s not interested in knowing what colour socks you were wearing on your third day in the city. Don&rsquo;t talk too much about yourself. You never know, she could have been up for a shag before you opened your pandora&rsquo;s box. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/gifs\/lifetimetelly-dance-moms-3o6ZtiltWlsVHTYYne\">via GIPHY<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>2. <strong>You&rsquo;re too forward<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Being too forward will definitely scare her off. You don&rsquo;t want to do that. Try being normal and giving her enough space while you interact with her. Keep noticing her reactions so that you know if you&rsquo;re making her uncomfortable. She needs time before she gets to the point where she appreciated you trying it on with her.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/gifs\/awkward-ew-lucille-ball-zOuRCHez5UsKY\">via GIPHY<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 3. <strong>You talk way too much about your ex<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She doesn&rsquo;t want to know how horrible your ex was. She doesn&rsquo;t want to know how every time you visit a certain restaurant it brings bad memories of her. Stop talking about your ex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/gifs\/stellifymedia-stellify-media-bqs-3oFzm6Wua2LcIIBC3m\">via GIPHY<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 4. <strong>You&rsquo;re sending dick pics before you&rsquo;re\nmaking a connection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Size matters but then again, the size of your brain matters more. Please make a connection before you start creeping her out with unsolicited dick pics. Women do not enjoy this and it actually creeps them out. Trust us, once she gets to know you you can send all the pictures you want &ndash; just start with hello when it&rsquo;s someone new. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/gifs\/mfw-mlp-pic-O7Nz4ADT5KWT6\">via GIPHY<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 5. <strong>You don&rsquo;t know what it&rsquo;s like to take it\nslow<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You just met her and you&rsquo;ve planned your whole life with her.

Give her time and don&rsquo;t be too desperate about it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/gifs\/life-one-direction-12JEYck1pbBrAQ\">via GIPHY<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 6. <strong>You stalk her<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&rsquo;s great that you follow her on Facebook. It&rsquo;s creepy that you know where she went for her 15th birthday and you have the audacity to tell her that you know. Let her tell you stuff about herself instead of going into a full detective mode. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/gifs\/originals-nycoriginals2019-YnporN0JURk2776uK0\">via GIPHY<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 7. <strong>You&rsquo;re too persistent with someone new<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;ve just met her, you&rsquo;re a little above a stranger. Don&rsquo;t try to act like her best friend. Give her space. If she wants to get to know you more, she will. Being way too persistent will only backfire for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/gifs\/fail-kid-gtfo-nn2kmb1lRtpkY\">via GIPHY<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 8. <strong>You try being someone you aren&rsquo;t<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You know you don&rsquo;t go to the gym. You know she knows you don&rsquo;t go to the gym. But you won&rsquo;t stop bragging about that one time you went to the gym. Nobody likes a showoff and nobody definitely likes a liar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/gifs\/3oKIPeYIJSEUcbKdt6\">via GIPHY<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The key to making good connections online is to start by thinking of the other person first. What would they enjoy, how would they react, what would they do, etc. Asking yourself these questions will go a long way in ensuring that you are not making women uncomfortable or freaking them out &ndash; after all that&rsquo;s never your end goal to begin with! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Listen up men, when it comes to connecting with the ladies there&rsquo;s a chance that your &ldquo;A-game&rdquo; is actually killing your chances of a happy ending (pun intended).
