During the course of dating your dream gal, there will come a period where you will go through a barren spell. You can just sense that the relationship has gone a bit stale, and you desperately need to do something to spice up the whole dating game, or you risk your lady running away from you, and into the arms of some other hunky stud.

This is no doubt the most vulnerable period of the relationship where both you and your lady will feel very insecure, since the sense of protection that was built between the both of you is now slowly but surely diminishing.

But the one thing you need to understand in the dating game is that great relationships don't just happen overnight. It takes time to nurture and develop, so that the relationship can withstand the test of time.

And when it comes to testing times in a relationship, you really do need to break out of your own conditioning, or comfort zone, in order to keep the dating game going. In this dating tip guide, I will show you some really cool ways on how to re-ignite the spark in your date, and keep the love flames burning bright.

Be your date's best friend

Keep communicating with your date. Laugh together at all kinds of jokes, no matter how lame they may be. Always be willing to lend a listening ear for her sake. Most important for you is to be sincere and honest. The objective here is to be her best friend, so that you can open up an opportunity for yourself to create a strong bond of intimacy with her.

Be as sweet as you can be

You know that you have done 50% of the job if your date feels that you are indeed very sweet to her. So go on and do all the sweetest things in this world for your date. Send love notes to her everyday; write her a poem on her birthday; tell her how beautiful and gorgeous she is; surprise her one morning by turning up at her doorstep with a bunch of roses, etc. These are just some of the little sweet and creative things to get her heart pumping again.

Give good compliments

Women simply love compliments. But of course, not any tom, dick and harry kind of compliments will do. Make sure that they are nice, pleasant and pleasing on the ear. Compliments like 'That's a nice pair of earrings you've got' should do the trick. Also, do not be shy to show your affection for her in public. She will feel so special about herself when you do that.

Show her how much you care

Stimulate her senses even more by showing how much you care about her. Very often, the little things can say a thousand words. So send her a text message to remind her to take her lunch; Tell her that you miss her everyday; Send her a message just to say good morning, etc. Remember, it is the little things that count.

Show her respect

Couples know very well that in order to establish a deep connection, there must be mutual respect for each other. So please show your date the respect she deserves. Nothing turns a woman off more than a guy who shows her absolutely no respect. So treat your date like the gorgeous lady she is and respect her for what she is. And in return, she will do the same to you. It is a win-win situation here.

Do away with negative thoughts

Do not let any negative thoughts stand in the way between you and your date. The key here is to be positive, and always look on the bright side of things. For example, do not be too worked up if she is talking with another guy. If you do, then all kinds of negative thoughts will begin to cross your mind. Be cool, my friend, and just simply take it in your stride.
