Living this world with a partner in life, in crime, or in death is slowly becoming a necessity for some people. Let us face it, as we grow old and enter adulthood, the anxiety for not having your significant other raises to a level where we decide to get serious. Ladies wish, pray, and hope for romance they never dreamt of where their knights in shining and shimmering armor answer their prayers. Gentlemen try hard to be that knight. 

If you’re a man in your twenties, it’s time to be that knight and date like you’ve never dated before. Here are the 7 teenage dating habits that men should leave behind in the dump to find the woman who will hopefully be the princess in distress you have to save.
 
Waiting for the right time to ask her

	Any time is the right time. The right time existed long before your first decision of asking her out. You are following your own standards of the “right time” which would slow you down and lead you procrastinating. What’s missing in you is the courage that a knight would do to impress his princess. You have lived for almost three decades, or more, and yet you haven’t found that courage to do your moves. That is inexcusable. 

Asking for a date via text messages

	If you want to tell a woman that you’re not playing games and you’re serious about getting to know her, then never ask her out on a date via text messages. Women also rate guys by effort so make the effort to ask her personally. The saying “actions speak louder than words” might be very old, but it never fails. The difference between sending her a message and speaking in front of her is that she knows it takes a lot of guts to ask for a date. Naturally, this is what a knight would do.

Dividing your attention

	Amidst the wonderful moments of being in a date, you are not supposed to rummage through your phones just to check your facebook, twitter, instagram, or text messages. For crying out loud, give her your full attention and never miss a single word of what she is saying. There is no reason to dwell into your virtual world because the real-world gives you a real-live woman to talk to. If your attention is divided on a real date, then another knight would have snatched her from you.

Avoiding PDA

	A better way to get a woman heart is the assurance that the public knows you own her by giving her little gestures of affection. It doesn’t mean that your date should be in public places and your hands are on hers. Rather, show her you care by showing nice gestures like holding her hands or your arms around her shoulder. A knight would kneel and ask for her princess’ hand.

Suiting up like a gangster

	Seriously, there should be a difference between how you dress when you go out with friends and how you dress when you go out with her. You need to build your first impression, although they won’t last, but they are important. Women love decency as defined by the knight’s proper way of dressing for war, his armor. 

Undefining your relationship

	What’s wrong with a man who says “let’s just see where this goes” is that they think like idiots in their teenage dream which is not really what a knight would do. By this point in time, your level of romance does not belong to that I-want-to-have-an-experience level. This is the real deal and not giving a definition to your relationship will not help you hit a woman’s heart. 

	Women are life-driven individuals who do not hang around without thinking about their future. They don’t give time for men who do not have plans for their future much more men who have doubts entering a relationship. Define your purposes. Never leave her wondering about your intentions. Get serious dude!

Seeing other women

	If you would like to have a spare girl whenever the woman does not seem to like you, then an opportunity where you can spend valuable time with her just got dissolved into nothing. Aren’t you old enough to choose who you your partner in life would be? Women seek not only brave men, but also loyal even if they’re not lawfully committed.

As we get older, our styles change. Our tastes change. Surely, there is a need to accommodate these changes. Surely, she’ll end up walking on the aisle and you waiting for her at the altar. Of course, you take the first steps by erasing these teenage dating habits and by bringing the best knight in you.
