Follow up to Shirece's Blog


Ok, so Shirece wants some dating tips for the Auntie! Here are a few of my opinions. I could probably go on for days but I'll limit it to 10. Just a note, they are not my top 10 just the first 10.


1. If you have to make the first move, and the next move and the next one- He's not worth your time. Do you want to be married to someone who can't step up to the plate? :)
2. Flirt, a lot. Flip your hair, play with your necklace, laugh at his lame jokes. Make a few back and see if he responds. Smile at him from across the room.
3. Listen. Sincerely listen to what they have to say and then remember to ask about it the next time you see them. Remember small details like names of the family, favorite group, favorite fruit, favorite whatever. Just remember them.
4. Make them food. A way to a man's heart is through his stomach! :)
5. Show off your skills and confidence. Not like a liberal feminist power to the woman type but the kind that show you are capable of running a house hold. And if anyone mocks that they're lame because that is a lot of work and takes special skills that ONLY women hold. I guess maybe a few men have the ability but most do not!
6. Be highly maintained. There is a difference between high maintenance and highly maintained. Take care of yourself - In a healthy way. And don't marry someone who doesn't understand the difference.
7. On the first date when they ask you what you like to do, don’t say Shopping.
8. Don’t make yourself try to like a certain band that you really hate just because he does. Remain your own identity. (It’s ok to merge on some/most things- just don’t change who you are.)
9. Wear lipgloss or lipstick if you don’t want them to kiss you. That’s a sure way to get them to stay away from those lips.
10. Sometimes it is not better to have loved and to loss than to have never loved at all. :) Don't fall for just anyone.

Haha make me laugh- though the lip gloss thing is pretty funny because Jared is always begging me to put on a LiTtLe lip gloss- he actually likes it lol but apparently he's he's the only one! :)

Okay, Lisa....there must be a reason why you are married and I am not...I did not know these things at your age...and oh yes one more thing...what if you don't have any lipstick or lip gloss on, you want the guy to kiss you, but he still won't...thne what should you do.

Hey Lisa,
Good advice! It's nice to be reminded of these things while I'm married too!
We should continue dating our spouces -right? So this advice still applies!

Very insightful Lisa! I definitely agree. Maybe you should have been a marriage/dating counselor :)!
