Flowers (read, roses) have been long associated with a man showing his love for a woman and this association will never ever go out of vogue. Women are generally swept off their feet any given day if they are given a nice bouquet of roses. Guys, are going out on a date with the pretty girl you've always fancied, but worried about how to have that perfect start to the date? Start the date by giving her flowers and then leave the rest to her. You've already done your bit to make your lady extremely happy.

Have you ever heard the line 'Oh I love the way he looks into my eyes'? There is a reason why it's been said. We ladies love it when a man looks into our eyes and says a few romantic lines. It is okay if you think that you are not confident enough to say those romantic lines. But you must look into the woman's eye whether you're speaking to her or not. A woman would love it if she is on a date and the guy seems lost just by gazing into her eyes. It is the ultimate pleasure that all women crave for.

Whether you learn to do the Salsa or even how to Ball Dance, the point is to learn a dance which will allow you to hold her in your arms and sway away into the night. I'd love it if a man took me out on a 'salsa dancing' date. It is super fun, sensual and very exciting. Most women feel this way. And do you know what the best part is? You can get the upper hand if your lady does not know how to dance. You can take her in your arms and teach her how to. This is your chance to shine Mr Shy Guy. Go for it!

Okay so you're on a date and you're trying hard to control your nerves. We understand that. But what you need to remember Mr, is that we want you to look happy when you're going out with us. Is that too much to ask? And what do you think is the best way to make us feel that way? Smile! It's not rocket science, gentlemen. Smiling your way through a date is the easiest way to beat the nervousness and make your date feel comfortable in your company.

Are you planning to take your woman out for dinner? A coffee? To the movies? To the park? Wake up you silly, she's already done that with other men. How are you different from the lot? Make your date special by going to random places. Maybe ask her to wear her favorite bikini and drive her to the beach for a fun day of surf and the sand? Or maybe even an impromptu camping trip on the weekend? The plan here is to surprise her and do something she may not be expecting. Gentlemen, make it special!

Most shy guys do try a bit too hard to impress their lady. If you are doing this too, you should know that this is exactly what you should not do on a date. Gentlemen, your lady will like you for what you are. Don't go overboard and try to be someone you're not. It's just not worth it.

A perfect example of this is when you say 'Oh you're looking gorgeous. I'm bowled over babe' Believe me, we women will know if you really mean this, or you're just saying this when you're trying too hard. So if you really think that your lady is looking like a queen, say it to her with all your heart. She will be swept off her feet. But if you say it to her half-heartedly, it will be a big turn-off, even if you're trying to be nice.

From a personality view point, shy guys generally are thinkers and have a lot of great ideas up their sleeves. For all you guys reading this and nodding your heads, here's a fantastic tip. If you feel like you want to say something, just say it. Imagine you are on a date in a boring coffee shop. If you feel that you can spice up the date by taking your partner out somewhere else, don't feel afraid to ask her "Can we go somewhere else, this place is just too dull?" She will not feel bad, nor will she feel offended. This was just an example. As long as you have a bright suggestion up your sleeve, go for it. You must convey your thoughts and feelings to her. We women are not psychics who will magically read your mind.

So, you've been going out for a few weeks now and you want to take the relationship to the next level, do you? Well Mr Shy Guy, here is a very, very confusing tip for you. Don't be too pushy when it comes to those physical moments, but don't try and ignore them too. Confused? Let's elaborate.

Rule #1 Don't get frisky unless you are in a romantic setting. Your woman will always remember your 'first kiss', your 'first time in bed' and so on.

Rule #2 Don't keep your hands to yourself. Yes, this may be pushing the boundary here because people who are naturally introvert, may find it hard to make the first move. But that's the key. Start by putting your hand on her lower back when you're walking. Maybe even caress her neckline every now and then. The point is to make yourself comfortable. Most shy guys tend to stop being 'shy guys' after they are comfortable with their partners.

Rule #3 When you are sharing an intimate moment with your lady, don't stare at her boobs while talking to her. Leave it for later when you both have ripped each others' clothes apart.

Rule #4 If your next question is 'So how long do I wait before I play dirty?', let me tell you that there is no expert in the world who can tell you an exact time. But what you should know is that go for it when it feels right. We women like it when shy guys wait for the 'right moment' to indulge into the forbidden.
