I know that I am a confident man, however, whenever I am around a woman that I like, I try to be on my best behavior and work on not trying to be an @$$hole. What should I avoid saying or doing to avoid looking less than confident?
What are some of the traits of a man that would cause a woman to percieve him as not being very confident?

Try to listen and talk less. Take an interest in what she is talking about. Try not to be too opinionated.
Don't be possessive over her.
Don't question her whereabouts
If you have lost female friends in this way in the past. be aware of it
Play it cool at first let her do some (not all)of the running after you until you become sure of each other
Don't kill her with kindness either
Don't let her know your intentions too early in the relationship don't leave it too late either or you may loose her

If a man does not pipe up and contribute to a conversation it appears he is not intelligent and well-informed. That is a turn off. When in a public place don't put your hands in your pockets or fold your arms across your chest. Make good eye-contact and be a good listener but don't seem too eager to please. Mumbling is also not good. It has a lot to do with image, body language and tone of voice. Honestly, if a person is not confident it is really hard to pull off appearing confident. Either you got it or you don't baby. Check out how an officer of the law carries himself. Those guys just oooooze confidence.

Not looking me in the eyes when he has something to say. Talking too much about himself. Most relationships begin a little rocky so there is not much you can do. If you are trying to impress her, just be yourself. If your behavior dictates how you act, act natural. Try not being what you are not.

I don't think that's what you want because confidence is sexy. What's a turnoff is someone who talks about himself all the time and because I have money, and chics are all over me kind of thing if you really like a girl give her all your attention listen to her and tell her you're proud of your achievements but don't over emphasize.

By always saying that you are sorry. I think it makes a man look weak! I really think exercise helps me be very confident, I hope this helps you!

Why don't you try just being yourself...acting fake when you're dating someone never helps anyone.

i say just be yourself...that is what is confident in a person...if you're dorky, be a dork..don't hide it..(i like dorky guys..haha), if you are preppy, then be that...a girl likes to see who you really are, not just trying to be like someone who you aren't! don't sweat it, someone will like you
