Want To Date A Model? Here's How To Pull It Off, According To A Model

Having been one of the top matchmakers for the past 10 years, I’ve had daily chats with some of the hottest girls out there, many of whom are models and celebrities. As a former cover model and actress myself, I have a fairly accurate idea of what these women are looking for in their ideal man. As you will read from my "Perfect 12" pointers below, it boils down to a combination of common sense and “good old-fashioned values.”

While chivalry has been proclaimed dead, so are the days when women sat at home and pined for a man. Despite today’s gender equality, deep down a lot of women yearn for Mad Men-era etiquette that made dating enjoyable. My pointers incorporate modern twists on many of these old school manners. If you adopt just a few of these, you might just find yourself dating the Maximmodel of your dreams…

1) Don't: Tell Her How Hot She Is

This is a terrible opening line. She hears it all day, every day from men trying to pick her up. It's not special and won't impress her.

Do: Instead, Try a common interest to talk about. Maybe a hobby, restaurant, movie, or maybe something about that moment. Be witty, interesting, and funny. Make your count, this is your opening acting!

2) Don't: Rely On Just Texting

Dating today has dramatically changed with the introduction of texting and social media. It encourages daters to be more casual in their intentions and relationships. Before the advent of texting and social media, you actually had to pick up the phone and talk to someone; meet them in person. It leaves little room for misunderstandings. It’s all too easy to not put any effort in!

Do:Take the guesswork out of the equation and be more straightforward. Pick up the phone or ask to meet in person. Instead of sending her a text she might misunderstand, express yourself in person. Let her see the facial expressions to match your words. That might just get the reaction you were looking for.

3) Do: Good Old Fashioned Courting

Take your time getting to know and court her. Just as you might not respect a girl who “moves too fast,” neither will she respect a guy who’s too quick. If you are interested in pursuing a long-term relationship with her, keep it slow and steady. Forget the one-night stands. Make headway with each date. If you’re determined, try getting to know her family.

Don’t: Don’t try to push yourself on her or manipulate your way into her life. If she’s not interested in dating you, then no matter how much you text or call her, it’ll only make you look unstable. Imagine if she tried to manipulate her way into your life, I’m sure you wouldn’t want to date her.

4) Do: Wine And Dine Her

Girls love gifts and surprises. When you pick her up for dinner, bring some unique flowers or box of sweets. You don’t have to spend an arm and a leg, but it goes a long way to show her your appreciation and thoughtfulness. Above all, it’s romantic!

Don’t: Don’t show up dressed like a surprise slob. Put some effort into it! If you don’t have much fashion sense, talk to a friend who is or check out a men’s magazine and see what’s in vogue!

5) Do: Gentleman’s Manners

This is a simple one guys. Remember … Gentlemen pay for the date … Gentleman hold the door open for their date … Gentlemen walk their dates to their car and front door… Gentlemen will make plans with you on the phone.

Don’t:Don’t go Dutch and offer to split the tab or make her pay. It’s a surefire way of not getting a second date.

6) Don't: Talk About Your Ex

Steer clear of trash-talking your ex and going over what a b*tch she was. It makes you look bitter and still stuck on the past. Not to mention it makes a girl wonder what you’ll say about her.

Do: If the ex convo does come up, tell your date you’ve learned from the experience and now you know what you do and don't want. Be the bigger person and be positive! Women prefer someone who can look on the bright side!

7) Do: Be Confident

When dating a beautiful woman, no matter if she's a celeb or not, it's inevitable that she'll have all eyes on her — especially from the opposite sex. You’ll need to be the better man and keep your cool.

Don't: Throw jealous tantrums, check her phone, go through her texts and emails or stalk her social media. It'll be the death of you! She will lose all respect for you. You’ll be branded a creeper and think she can do better since you’re intent on believing she can.

8) Don't: Spill Her Secrets

Don't involve your friends and family in every detail of your dating life. Friends might intervene and get jealous of you dating a beautiful woman/model/celeb. Last thing you want is a hand manipulating your relationship.

Do: Keep your personal life private. Discuss with your date about how you two want to handle social media posts – do you or don’t you want to share photos opening, to tag or not to tag? Important stuff to think about, especially when it comes to your well-known lady.

9) Don't: Sit On The Sidelines

Don’t be lazy and wait for life to come to you. When you meet this woman, you want to be ready and your very best. Let her see you are a driven, educated, and healthy individual. She’ll have to want to respect and envision a relationship with you.

Do: Educate yourself, work hard, keep your mind and body healthy and clear, have something to offer with your education, stability, and/or personality.

10) Don’t: Complain About Her Schedule

She's an independent, accomplished woman, and she wants someone equal in her life.

Do: Be positive and encouraging. You should be independent yourself. Show that your time is valuable just like hers and make the most of the time you can spend with her.

11) Do: Bring Value To Her Life

How do you improve her quality of life life with your presence? It’s these things that will show her why she should be with you. If you can provide Happiness, partnership, security, friendship, she’ll want to keep you around.

Don't: Think about what she can do for you. You want her to notice that you’re a selfless, giving human being that is not just interested in sleeping with her, but actually cares about her on a deeper level. In return, she will want to make you happy!

12) Do: Be Yourself

Above all, don't pretend to be someone you're not. In the end, the truth prevails.
