Happy Hump Day to all the hot members of ManPlay out there! Hopefully everyone has recovered from their long weekends and have great memories from some of the sexy dates they went on with members of the site. We received a ton of great letters from people telling us about what they got up to over the weekend – it certainly sounds like you all kept busy! As usual, keep those letters coming because we love hearing from you and you might even win a prize from us if we like your letter enough! Today I want to give you some tips for when you’ve encountered a man that you are really interested in and feel like you have to win him over. Hopefully you never have to convince someone of how great you are, but just in case someone is being a tad hard-to-get, here are some of the best ways in which you can show him you’re interested, without coming off as creepy!

For starters, when it comes to gifts, some men think the way to convince someone that they are interested is be sending flowers and gifts – all the usual sort of cliche things that no one ever really buys for themselves or seems that keen on having at all. Sure, it’s a nice gesture but if it happens too soon and/or too often, it will definitely be a turn-off. That’s why I would never recommend showing up with a gift on the first date. Regardless of your intentions, a  nice gesture at the end of the date, like paying for the meal, is likely to be more appreciated and seem more appropriate than giving a gift before you’ve even spoken to each other. The best time to give a gift is when you’ve seen each other several times and want to show that you remembered something that he said previously and went out of your way to get it for him. Not in a way that makes it seem like now you feel like he owes you something, but in a sweet and casual way that is likely to win him over in its simplicity.

A simple way to do so is to compliment him often – but, again, naturally. It seems weird to be complimented on how well you do every little thing but it shows that you are observant and notice and are really paying attention. Those are the things that get noticed the most, even when it’s a little thing that you are pointing out. Noticing a new haircut or a new blazer is going to go farther than complimenting him on his eyes over and over again. Something else that will work wonders (but involves a tad more planning) is to go on a creative date that you think he’ll love. Anyone can check out the showtimes to see what movies are playing, but it takes a bit more effort to come up with something creative. Ask friends (or discuss in the chat rooms of ManPlay!) and find out what the most inventive and/or best date they’ve ever been on was. Also, by taking a close look at his profile and seeing what his interests and hobbies are, you can get a good idea of what might be things you’d want to incorporate into the date. If a hottie takes you on a great date, there’s a good chance you’ll be lining up for the chance to go on a second one, no?!

What do you guys make of these? What has it taken for you to be won over in the past? What have you done to win over someone in the past! Be sure and comment and let us know your suggestions or what you think you would try!
