There are some single people that have perfected the art of lip service. I am sure you have met this type! They make lofty promises, lead people on, and generally talk a good game. If you ever discover that you are dating this type, beware. They may talk a big game but they have little to no action to back it up.

Dating does not have to be such a game of cat and mouse. Saying what you mean, meaning what you say, and being consistent goes a very, very long way. Men enjoy seeing a woman who is true to her word. Women love it when a guy is willing and able to prove he is who he says he is.

Of course it is great to hear beautiful words, but do they matter more when they are not reinforced with actions?

If a guy is telling a woman she is his girlfriend but when she isn’t around he behaves like a totally free, unattached guy – does it matter? What is really interesting is that a lot of people get away with a lot of bad dating behavior because they can always talk their way out of it.

How do you hold someone accountable to their words, or can you? In a dating relationship, what is more important to you – actions or words?
