If you want my opinion, don't consider dating one. Date a man instead. And also, even if they're not your long time partner, cry in front of them. It's tough to hear but women love men who act emotionally weak. If you need to cry, that's fine. We all do sometimes. But unless the circumstances are extreme, stay in the room and do it as blatantly as you can. Women aren't eager to use your emotional vulnerability against you. Being emotionally vulnerable around them is a general good rule of thumb.
