Dating an Alpha Female

Dating an Alpha Female

You're seeing this woman and you sense immediately that she's on top of her dating game. You seem challenged, but how do you really know if it's an alpha female you're dealing with? Here are the telltale signs and how to deal with each.

She's not easily impressed. Heads up: she knows men are drawn towards her. In fact, she's used to men chasing her. Her expectations are higher than most women, so your efforts should also surpass the generic chocolate and flowers move. Be wise enough to avoid clever pick-up lines that will only make her roll her eyeballs. Be original and get her attention.

She's not exclusive with you. Like an alpha male, she isn't into the habit of commitment. She likes to keep her options open and is always pleased with the notion of seeing several men at any given time. If you really want to pursue her, level up with her. She's seeing other men? Date other women yourself and let her know. Once her competitive nature is stroked, she'd clamor for the title of being your woman.

She's preoccupied a lot. She is doing a lot of things all at the same time. She thinks she can summon you anytime according to her liking, and does just that. Well, don't be that guy. Make her realize that you have commitments yourself and that you're not some spare tire she can use. But continue to pursue her and level with her, not become her slave.

She insists on going Dutch all the time. This one's a classic alpha female trick. If you don't pay for anything for her, she technically doesn't owe you anything. Still, continue to offer to pay on dates but don't insist. Maybe next time you can take her somewhere else where you've planned and prepared for everything so she can't make up excuses of paying for anything! It'll definitely surprise her.

She demands a lot from you. She seems nice when asking for favors, yet completely forgets you when she doesn't need or want anything from you. As tempting as it might be, continuing to give in to her whims doesn't earn you her respect. Don't jump through all the hoops and keep your dignity. Do only what you think is within reason.

She has a sharp tongue. She talks down to you occasionally or makes rude or mocking comments. You always have to be ready for a verbal combat. An alpha-females' goal is to always win in any conversation, so give her a competition but don't be rude yourself. Converse intelligently so you can capture her interest and attention.
