If you just met a guy, do not text him right away. Don't text him first. Don't respond to his texts right away, and don't text him all the time.

This sends the message that you have no life, and to guys, that means clinging to them, which equals desperation. Let the guy know you have a life outside of

him by taking your time to respond. It'll drive him crazy (in a good way) wondering what you're doing instead of texting him, and that will peak his interest.

It's fine to Facebook stalk a new crush (we've all done it). But don't send him a friend request! He'll know you've been checking out his profile, and that's a

little creepy. Wait until you have established a strong friendship, or wait until he sends you a friend request.

As girls, we often feel like we need to pile on the makeup in order to impress a guy. But most guys actually prefer a more natural look. It's fine

to do yourself up a bit, but don't overdo it. Your guy will see right through those layers of makeup into your insecurity. Be confident in your natural beauty!

When you try to impress a guy by pretending you like sports, or sushi, or certain kinds of movies, you're not doing either of you any favors. The truth will

come out eventually, and your crush will feel betrayed by your dishonesty. Plus, all the things you enjoy and have interest in are totally cool, so you shouldn't have to

pretend you're someone else just to get a guy to like you.

If your guy finds out that you cancelled plans you had with your friends to spend time with him, he'll feel special. But he'll also wonder why you would do

that to your friends. And your friends will feel betrayed too. Nobody wins in this situation, so be a good friend and don't cancel plans for some guy. Once he

becomes your boyfriend, you can get away with that sometimes, but in the beginning, it's a big no no.

When you date a guy, you spend a lot of time around his friends. But there's no reason to try so hard to get them to like you. You're already

awesome! If you go out of your way to get closer to his social circle, he'll notice, and feel good about it, until all of his friends start asking why

you're so nosy. Just be yourself and let his friends get to know you over time.

Let's be clear about one thing: you don't have to sleep with a guy to get him to like you. In fact, women who give it up too soon often

turn guys away from getting serious because they wonder how many other guys you get it on with so easily. Make your guy work for you, and he'll love the

challenge. He'll also get to know you better, which will make him realize how incredible you are, sex or no sex.

When you first start dating a guy, and you've got those butterflies in your stomach, it can be tempting to just burst out your feelings. But this can scare guys

away if they aren't ready for something more serious. If you've got to express how you feel, try writing in a journal. This way, you'll get your feelings out, but

you won't freak out your dude. 

Once you're in a serious relationship with a guy, it's totally fine to start talking about the future. But if you've only been dating for a month, and you say

things like,"When we..." or "Our kids.." that's a red flag for a guy who wants to take things slow. Let him know what you want for your future,

but save the "us" talk for when you're both committed to having a future together.
