Too eager? Try the red flag hunt!

It happens to the best of us... Sometimes, we get too eager about a woman that we don't know very well.

And we know that, when we get like this, we can scare women off.

So, what do you do when you feel like this?

One exercise that I sometimes try is, "The red flag hunt."

Basically, I ask myself, "What's WRONG with this woman? If she WERE such a prize, why would she need to go online to meet decent guys?"

And, usually, if you look hard enough... you can start to see reasons.

Statements that seem like they could be dishonest.

Contradictions between how she describes herself, and the way she behaves.

Things that make you go, "Hmmm...."

With practice, this exercise becomes second-nature.

And, after this exercise, you'll usually find yourself a little more suspicious.

You'll want to learn more about her before going further.

... In other words, you'll be acting like you should act towards a woman that you don't know well.

Like a guy who's trying to have some fun while getting to know someone better.
