Today we have a quick and insightful guest post from Professional Counselor, and author of True Love Dates, Debra Fileta. Enjoy! 

Ever wish you could get a glimpse into the mind of the opposite sex?

Just to get a clue, I posed a question on social media asking single guys what word of advice they wanted single girls to know about interacting with them.

It was fun to see the answers come rolling in. Here are some of the favorites!

1. If you’re interested- make it obvious. We’re not good with subtlety, and we definitely can’t read your mind.

2. …And, by the way, we can’t read your mind.

3. If you’re not interested- don’t play games.

4. Always be yourself and celebrate your uniqueness. Don’t try to be something you’re not.

5. If we ask you out, do us the favor of actually responding. Even if it’s a no – don’t just avoid answering.

6. Don’t flaunt yourself. Believe it or not, modesty is attractive to a lot of us guys.

7. Remember- we’re human, and we will make mistakes.

8. Don’t blame all of us for the mistakes of some (or even the mistakes of one).

9. Realize that we’ve got our own insecurities, too.

10. Be patient with us. If we haven’t asked you out- there’s probably a good reason.

Stay tuned for Part 2 of this post from the single ladies to the single guys!
