Yahoo is telling me there are 7 common dating mistakes that women make. Since they are all about dating men, I'm guessing they actually mean 7 dating mistakes women-seeking-men women make. (But hey, who's counting?)
Here’s what many single women do that we might want to reconsider:
1. We feel entitled. um, this could have a point, maybe, in theory, "entitled" is such a funny, funny word.
Gottlieb: “Women try to be good friends to each other. We say, ‘You deserve this, you’re so great! You’re such a good catch! Any man would be lucky!’ [Men don’t say that to each other.] We are good catches, but we also are human and we’re not perfect and somebody’s going to have to put up with us for the rest of his life. And we forget. My dating coach buh? said, write down all the reasons a guy would not want to date you. At first I didn’t think I had that many things, because you think you’re a pretty good catch. He said, what you think of as quirky, endearing, and cute, is really annoying to someone else. But he would love you so much that he would overlook that. And you need to overlook things in him. Everybody has to compromise.” ok, so this is something completely different. i LOVE myself, but that doesn't mean i actually wantto date myself, but that also means i'm not going to settle for second best indefinitely.
( keep reading, if you dare )
