When someone is dating you, how important is it that they "woo" you. You know do silly things just for you. Is this the type of thing that wins kudos for you.
I guess I have never been to much on the "woo" factor. I have always thought that being a reliable person, one that you could depend on, would be a more important factor. Somebody that is there when you really need someone.
However, it seems unless you are a "wooer" the the ladies never get close enough to you to realize that you are a good caring genuine person, that can be depended on in times of need.
So, is wooing important to you gals?

Reps: 2,863 (power: 14) | | Both are important! You've gotta be there for us and we like to be wooed and pursued.  It really depends on the woman you are dating. If she is the type of girl who perceives affection and caring as getting little gifts and notes, it would be good to "woo" her in that way. But if she is more about spending time with you, then you've got to make sure you are spending enough time together. Do whatever it is that makes HER feel special. Don't just do what you've always done with other girls. That's my advice! |

Reps: 1,238,324 (power: 1,259) | | | I like to be wooed. I think we like it because the things guys do to woo us show he's thinking of us and thinks we're worth going to extra trouble for.
Being a reliable person is super-important too though, Mrstace. The thing is, that's the type of thing that becomes apparent over time, so a girl isn't going to know how reliable and dependable you are on the first few dates.

Reps: 4,471 (power: 21) | | I think "wooing" is important because it shows her that you are thinking about her. But as I think LivingforHim03 mentioned, females are different in how they like to be wooed. And I think as you grow older, that changes. You just gotta figure out what appeals to her.
When I was younger I was seriously dating a guy who had a poetic side. He wrote me poems, sent me flowers, called me in the middle of the day, that type of thing. It was extremely flattering. Now, I am not saying that I still wouldn't like that, but now other things would mean alot to me too. Surprise me by mowing my yard, shoveling my sidewalk when it snows, cook me dinner, change the oil in my car or volunteer to take it and have it serviced for me, fix my leaky faucet. Those things may not sound all that romantic, but to me it says that they are thinking about me and my well being. That they want to do nice things for me to help me out.
Of course, I wouldn't turn down a nice bouquet of flowers with some mushy poetry either. Or a good foot massage. Gee, does this make me high maintenance?

These are the types of things that I could see myself doing. Nothing says "I love you" like new motor oil!!

I think just letting her know that you are thinking about her and care about her is the important part. But, if she responds well to flowers, then you better make sure that you do that too, occasionally.

Reps: 10 (power: 0) | | | Anything to let her know that you are thinking about her will get and keep her attention. Make her feel special, and that u love having her around, even if your schedules don't allow for the time, at least she knows that u want to be with her. |

Reps: 515 (power: 0) | | | To "woo" once in a while is always a good thing; it does not have to be anything spectacular or often, but it is just a good way to let a girl know that she is special and you care about her. I think girls also should "woo" the guy; it should go both ways. What the heck, surprises are always nice and they make life a bit more exciting! |  | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode | | | |
