An Australian dating coach has revealed the one mistake men make in relationships that sets them up for failure.
Television personality Sami Lukas interviewed expert Miki Kanamaru on her podcast Romantically Challenged to understand where men are going wrong - and their number one problem is not listening to what women have to say on the first date.
'It's not necessarily coming from a bad place or a place of rudeness,' Miki told Ms Lukas.
'It's often the case that the guy is so keen to impress and thinking about what he's going to ask next that he is forgetting to be in the moment and be present.'

Her best advice for men is to lower the pressure on themselves and remove expectation, because that's often what's going to 'kill things' before they get started.
She also recommends finding out if someone is looking for something serious or casual ahead of time so they are already on the same page as their partner.
Miki also spoke about the issue women have in breaking up with an ex and deciding not to date anyone else who has similar qualities to him.

Every personality is different and men handle situations in varied ways, so it would be doing yourself a disservice to discount someone just because they have kids or a passion for cars like your previous partner.
The podcast explored how we should look at dating in general, and how it shouldn't come from a fear that you won't be able to have children or because all your friends have partners.
'Look for joy in all areas of your life. Don't date out of a fear of being alone,' Miki said.
