Going forth, all men should stop doing this when they're dating.

1. Lying

It's imperative that you're honest about your intentions upfront. If you aren't interested in pursuing a relationship then be clear about it. Don't lead her on.

2. Get upset when she tries to be vigilant

Some men get offended when they show up to take a woman on a date and she sends a picture of him and his car to a friend. You can't ever fault a woman for being vigilant about her safety.

3. Ghosting

This is when a man goes on a date/ sleeps with a woman then leaves without a word. It's never ok. If you're no longer interested, let her know. And don't be hurtful about it.

4. Mansplaining

This will never stop being repeated. Don't interrupt a woman's knowledge with your confidence. Don't try to stop her from talking so that you can.
