The ultimate goal? Helping men like you end up with the girl you\u2019ve always wanted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of this work, I\u2019ve been delving into the results of a survey I put together polling thousands of singles in Chicago, New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles to get a pulse on the most pressing questions that single men have about women and dating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interestingly, 3 clear themes\/questions have emerged from the survey data that I thought I\u2019d share:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. How do I win her over when I first meet her?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether it\u2019s getting her to respond to you when you first approach her at a bar, or keeping her engaged during the first date, men still want to know the best ways to initially win her over\u2026because let\u2019s be real, first impressions matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When chatting about this topic with&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.threedayrule.com\/team\">our Matchmakers<\/a>, I started to realize that the work a guy has to do to get her interested is really no different than the work I do every day as a Matchmaker. It all comes down to one thing: your&nbsp;<strong>unique selling proposition (USP)<\/strong>.&nbsp;<em>What is the one thing about you that you\u2019d like her to know about at the onset?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Figure out what that is and try to communicate that to her\u2026in a subtle way. If you are struggling to come up with your&nbsp;<strong>USP,<\/strong>&nbsp;ask yourself: Why do your friends and family love you? What are you most passionate about? What drives you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This will help you determine your&nbsp;<strong>USP<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3 Quick Tips to Increase Your Chances of Success With Her:<\/strong><br><strong>1. Be funny.<\/strong>&nbsp;What woman doesn\u2019t love a man that makes her laugh? We\u2019re much more forgiving of looks than men are and can warm up to almost any guy that has a great sense of humor. Relax, be light-hearted, and crack a funny joke. Note: It\u2019s best to keep the sarcasm at a minimum in the beginning because people have different senses of humor and you don\u2019t want to risk offending her initially.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Ask her questions and actively listen.<\/strong>&nbsp;Respond with engaging follow-up questions or commentary. This is key and proves that you are actually listening to her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Initiate.<\/strong>&nbsp;if you have been exchanging glances with a woman all night, there\u2019s a great chance that she\u2019s interested in you, but shy. Make the first move and go over there to say hello. You have nothing to lose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. How do I tell if a woman is into me?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I found this one to be most fascinating. It seems like the most basic of questions, yet this still seems to be confounding single men everywhere. I could dedicate a whole blog post on this one, but for the sake of time, I\u2019ll share a few quick tips from&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.threedayrule.com\/team\">our Matchmakers<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Is she smiling and laughing at what you\u2019re saying?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Is she touching her hair and leaning towards you?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Is she looking at you and focusing on what you\u2019re saying?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Is she touching you? Is she allowing you to touch her? If you\u2019re not sure what\u2019s going on, touch her a little bit and gauge. If she will touch you back, she\u2019s into it. if she shirks, not interested.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Is she complimenting you? Lightly teasing you?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If the answer to at least one of the above is yes, there\u2019s an excellent chance she\u2019s into it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Side note: Some men have the opposite problem and interpret any time a woman so much as looks at him as an indicator of interest. This is not a bad thing \u2014 I\u2019d rather have a guy be overly confident than lack the courage to make a move because her interest level was ambiguous. Once, during my freshman year in college, a guy that I shared a seminar class with came up to me and boldly ask me out. With twinkle in his eye, he started with, \u201cI noticed you\u2019ve been eyeing me all semester and laughing loudly at all my jokes so figured I would ask you out.\u201d In fact, he had completely mis-read the situation (truth be told, I actually hadn\u2019t really noticed him except for the fact that he sat directly across from me which explained our frequent eye contact). I ended up teasing him for his incredibly healthy ego, and then agreed to go out with him anyways. He didn\u2019t end up being the One (surprise!), but you gotta give the guy props for at least trying\/believing I was interested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Why do nice guys finish last?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>This is one of the biggest dating myths ever!<\/strong>&nbsp;The truth is, all women do want nice guys\u2026with an edge. Think 80% nice, 20% edge. Yeah, you might have been told your whole life that girls like bad boys. But, classy ladies\u2026the women that you want to end up with in the long run, don\u2019t want that and won\u2019t tolerate it. There\u2019s a great adage out there that sums it up quite nicely:&nbsp;<em>\u201cShow a *<\/em>girl** you don\u2019t care and she\u2019ll chase you. Show a&nbsp;<strong>woman<\/strong>&nbsp;you don\u2019t care and she will replace you.\u201d*<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ultimately, women do appreciate men that are considerate, generous, and present.<\/strong>&nbsp;We like it when you\u2019re dependable and trustworthy, and follow through on commitments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Where does the edge come in?<\/strong>&nbsp;<em>While you should treat us well, make sure you have a backbone and set boundaries.<\/em>&nbsp;Women don\u2019t like men they can walk all over. We get bored and don\u2019t feel stimulated (in more ways than one) over time. Have your own life and friends, passions, and unique interests (examples: we love it when you play in a rock band (even if it\u2019s just you and your amateur buddies jamming out), are into adventurous sports like snowboarding, rock climbing or surfing, or are a corporate lawyer by day but badass motorcyclist by night).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Interested in learning more?<\/strong>\u00a0Three Day Rule\u2019s Matchmakers are hosting a series of intimate, tell-all events in Chicago, New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles all throughout September to answer your most burning questions about women and dating.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.threedayrule.com\/\">\u00a0Click here<\/a>\u00a0to learn more and RSVP!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"gbp-section gb-element-aa9c670e\">\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background\" style=\"background-color:#ff545754;color:#ff545754\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"gbp-section__inner gb-element-4317d4a1\">\n<div class=\"gb-element-bd6f84d5\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" class=\"gb-media-1013fab4\" src=\"https:\/\/www.threedayrules.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Talia_New.png\" title=\"Talia_New\" alt=\"Talia Goldstein - Three Day Rule Founder\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.threedayrules.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Talia_New.png 400w, https:\/\/www.threedayrules.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Talia_New-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.threedayrules.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Talia_New-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-element-a3abd0bb\">\n<div class=\"gb-text gb-text-4ef25bcb\">Talia Goldstein<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-text gb-text-ff53175c\"><strong>Founder<\/strong><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-text gbp-section__text gb-text-f7fa7a19\">Talia, Founder of Three Day Rule, has been featured on various news outlets from Good Morning America to CNN.
