* You and a girl are having a good time when she suddenly switches into bitch mode. You're thinking, Huh ? Where did I go wrong? Truth is, it was probably something inadvertent, so stop scratching your head. Here, we reveal the seemingly innocent mistakes men make.

You Rushed Dinner

No matter how hungry you are, when you're at a nice restaurant with a chick or having a meal she made, don't scarf down your food in seconds flat. "Eating together is a bonding activity for women," says Peter Post, author of Essential Manners for Men. "She wants to spend time with you. When you race through the meal, it makes her feel as if you don't really want to be there." Let her know you're enjoying yourself by slowing down.

You Didn't Get the Hint

When you're in the mood, you practically hump her leg, but women throw out subtler signals. "If you don't take the bait, she thinks you're not interested in having sex with her," says Carole Altman, PhD, author of Don't Have Sex Until You Read Chapter 15. More likely, you simply weren't paying attention. Keep an eye out for these seduction techniques: She touches you more, wears something skimpier to bed, or mentions her visit to the bikini waxer.
