Let's just say you're on a date and she starts discussing a problem that's really bothering her. It's really bothering her emotionally and she shares her problem with you. So what do you do? What do you say to help her?

Most men make the mistake of immediately offering solutions. This is exactly what you must avoid doing and I'll explain why:

By sharing her problem with you she is not really looking for solutions. She's really quite capable of figuring out what to do on her own. What she really wants is for you to hear her out, understand her feelings, and lend a sympathetic ear.

You will make quite an impression on her by just listening to her, let her vent out all of her feelings, and expressing sympathy toward her problem.

The best response you can say is, "I feel your pain" or "I understand how you feel." By being a good listener and understanding her feelings this will make her feel closer to you and make a lasting impression on her.

Sometimes you just have to abandon you "macho" image and think like a woman. Women want you to be supportive and understand their feelings in regards to problems that they are having. Men just want to find the perfect solution to problems.

So, in closing guys, if a woman brings up problems she's having, don't offer solutions unless she asks for them. Just offer sympathetic understanding and you'll make a lot of bonus points with her. And guess what happens when you make a lot of bonus points? You score!
