So what do you think about dating a smoker?

Personally, I am a non smoker and have never picked up a cig in my life.  I owe it all to Sue from Franklin Square.  I was a bit of a late bloomer and

Oh sh**, just remembered that I am friends with my mom on Facebook and she will see this, so lets skip the personal story that happened last week.  Sorry Mom and all of moms friends who snoop on my page 🙂

Anyway, curious to know what experiences all of you non smokers have had with dating a smoker?  Or would you even date a smoker in the first place?  Have any of you ended a relationship because of the other persons smoking habits, or never got into the relationship in the first place because of it.

Lets hear it!

Hey there!

Did you know about the  “I Am”  exercises?

David has more dating tips for women and men

This article is written by Dating Coach David Wygant who coaches women and men:

Why is it that guys think with their penises, rather than using their top head when speaking to attractive ladies?

During a recent workshop in NY, the guys received the following exercise.   If you are single in NYC, please read on.

Michelle, a gorgeous gal was taking part in the seminar and was doing some role playing. 

The men were given the assignment to try to get her to leave the room with them.

This took part at the very end of the workshop, where the guys already knew a little bit about her.   So they were told to   approach her, and try to get her to leave with em.

Pretty much ever guy, approached using a salesman approach.  They said things like,

“How about you and I check out another place ? I know this really fantastic Italian place.”

“Wow, you look so bored.  I can make you laugh.”

“You have that look like something is on your mind and would like to take a walk.”

These guys were coming off as slick salesman mode.  The issue is that they did not understand how to be vulnerable,  which is what women are interested in.

At the Workshop, Michelle was asked how the men did.  She smiled and said, “Every single guy tanked.”

“All of you guys struck out.  You were doing pretty good, except on this exercise.  Observe how this can be easy and painless.  

I approached Michelle and gazed into her eyes.  I put my hand out and spoke:

“Michelle, it is time to get out of here.   It is too loud.  I really would like to get to know more about you and talk.  Lets go some place a little quieter.  

Michelle stood up, put her hand out and we left.   

That is all there is too it. 

Ladies do want to see that vulnerable side.  It is important to them that they know you are interested in learning more about them.  

You really do not require any funny pick up lines or a sales script.  All that you need to do is let them know you would like to get to know them better and actually mean it.  

If you are interesting in learning how to do this the right way, and be the guy, click here!

Your friend,

Have you heard this phrase before?

‘Walk the walk and talk the talk.’

It pertains to those individuals who do exactly what they say they will.

A main issue in our lives is that many people just do a whole lot of talking without backing it up.

All Talk No Action people have big goals.  You may have heard them say:

“After I lose the pounds and inches, I will sign up and run the NYC marathon.”

“I have a lot of other things going on.  I will meet more guys once I am ready and clear the other things off of my plate.

What these people do is a lot of non stop talking.  They are always reassuring themselves, however do not take the the next step, never actually walking the walk and putting things into action.

You do not want to be all talk no action, because it simply means that you are not doing. You continuously validate things or make a thousand excuses as to why the things did not work out, or they will do things when (fill in the blank).

These big talkers have a similar theme.  They will always have a “when” involved.  When I achieve this goal, when I get a new haircut, when the weather is nicer, etc. 

It is very simple: Each and every single day, you need to back up what you say, practice what you preach.  Take baby steps.

Guys are extremely magnetized to a woman who has the integrity to back up her words with actions.

The time is now that you become that woman.

However, that is only one piece of the equation.

If you want to get the rest of the puzzle pieces, Check this out.

Your friend,

David
