Since working as a dating coach, I love reading anything related to male/female psychology. There was a great article this week about men and women in their attitudes to telling lies – The Science Museum in London recently commissioned a survey and apparently men tell more lies than women. About 50% more in fact.

Personally, I loved the number 1 lies reported for men and women respectively:

• men: “I didn’t have much to drink”
• women: “Nothing’s wrong, I’m fine”

Nothing surprising there, but still pretty funny to have it “proved” by science.

The article did get me thinking about a common theme I notice in men while I’m teaching them how to meet and attract women. Men (or people generally it would seem) are often afraid to express what they are really feeling, either to protect someone else’s feelings or to protect their own ego.

How many times have you met a girl you liked and nothing’s happened because you didn’t do anything about. Not telling a girl you like her, or not inviting her out for a drink is an avoidance which is as much a lie as trying to pretend you don’t like her (which a lot of guys do to). It’s a lie to yourself to protect your ego and avoid rejection.

Next time you meet a girl you like and have a great conversation, before you leave her look her in the eye, smile and say:

“Hey, it’s been great talking with you, you’re really cool. We should go out for a drink together another time.”

You never know, she might just say yes. If you don’t do it, you’re only lying and cheating yourself.
