Did you know that you might need a little bit of a primer to help you get through dating after a breakup in the second decade of the new millennium? It definitely couldn't hurt. Even if you feel like you've managed to get your romance mojo back in working order it's a good idea to take a little time to realize that the world is changing right before your very eyes and dating habits and rituals are changing right along with it.

Here are a few tips that will help you make the most of your first steps towards dating after a breakup.

1. Take advantage of technology. With cell phones, text messaging, social networking, and instant access to the Internet from almost anywhere there's no reason that you can't find out what the hottest hot spot in town for your interests and those of your date happens to be. Make the most of these instruments and plan a date that is sure to knock her socks off. The worst thing you can do is pick her up and ask her what she wants to do. Have a plan and make sure it's a good one.

2. Strike up a conversation. The idea of women falling for the strong silent type is old and over. The modern girl wants a man she can talk to and who will respond. She doesn't want to date a rock or even worse a lump on a rock. She wants a man who is not only capable of responding to her efforts at conversation but also quite capable of starting one of his very own. Be that man even if it feels a little uncomfortable (just don't go to the opposite extreme and monopolize the conversation).

3. Compliment your date. This will do more for your goal of a second date than almost anything as long as your compliments are flattering and sincere. Don't go overboard or exaggerate with the compliments but be sure to let her know if she has beautiful eyes or her smile lights up the room. It will make her feel good about herself and win you more than a few brownie points.

4. Trust your gut. Gut instincts will serve you well if you listen to them. Sometimes your gut is telling you "hands off buster" and other times it's saying "go ahead and kiss the girl." Listen to your gut in these moments and never try to force it when you're getting the abort attempt message from deep down inside no matter how much the moment seems to call for it.
