      @@thephotoandthestory I met my husband when he was hired at the school I worked at. We hit it off, and eventually (8 months later) he asked me out. We dated secretly for awhile because we were colleagues (and worked at a school). Our first pre-date was simply going to a trail to walk my dog (and the dog I was fostering). Then our first real date was a home-cooked meal at his apartment (small community and going "out" anywhere would have created gossip). By our third date we were in love. That was 9 years, one wedding, and two children ago! We only get to go out on a "date" maybe 2 or 3 times a year in this season of life. But every evening, after our children are asleep, we talk and laugh while doing our nightly chores (and sometimes bicker). Life is complicated enough, and marriage and parenthood comes with enough of their own challenges - why would anyone want a partner that is high-maintenance and uncooperative?! It sounds like a complete nightmare.

      @crimestoppers1877 3 місяці тому

      Try this solution? There is an implied duty of the person who implies asking a question or interrogatory to listen with the goal of understanding. Most women fail at this because they ask questions for a different reason. They do not care about your answer they just want control. There are four types of sentences in the English language. The Interrogatory is a demand for action, but has no obvious requirement for her to actually LISTEN.or understand the answer. I predict she will resolve this by keeping you responding to more and more questions for ultimate "triumph". Once you teach her your understanding of these questions, if she continues I would be ambivalent, obtuse and ignore her. This is what you do to control children who play the same game. Someday she might grow up to be an adult? One attitude ALL women hate is being ignored! They can NEVER control you when you are ambivalent. Men who are successful getting the attention of women use this same ploy. Ignore her and they will follow. I don't know why, but I speculate they like a challenge to control men. I'll never know because I do not care. There are plenty of them keeping me "busy".

    The proper dating technique:
    Create plans for a definite date and general time (eg. Sunday afternoon) a few days or a week before. This lets the person get excited about the date, show you off to their friends, and generally give them something to look forward to during the week.
    Touch base at least 16 hours before the date (6 pm Saturday for a noon Sunday date). This is to confirm the date when women are most flaky early on, and lets you judge their interest and how to approach the date, romantic, unserious, etc. Set a definite time and location. Women do not like making decisions so even if you are traveling to them, pick a restaurant local to them that has great reviews, and make a reservation.
    Do not text again! Meet them inside the location exactly on time! You want them to have tiny expectant butterflies.

    This is the first time I have seen your channel. You are spot on. It is refreshing to see a sensible young woman. I would hate being young and dating in today’s dating climate. I am a 70 year old woman that has been married 45 years. I have watched decades of my kids and grandkids dating. It seems to have become more and more difficult to find the right person for many people.

    I also find it refreshing from other channels that discuss dating and modern dating that you had a neutral view on the woman in the video wishing good for her despite her making mistakes because everyone does, regardless of if theyre a woman or a man.

I believe a little bit of humbleness on each side (he and she, men and women), an open attitude to clarify things ("The Dutch" misunderstanding), and a lesser attitude of jumping to conclusions/rejection would be constructive - giving the fact that the first date was appreciated as nice. Of course, if there are gut feelings that something is not right, rejection is a survival necessary thing, but this wasn't the case.

Everything that guy texted was 2-3 words. Loser with no communication skills. And he does basically ask her to plan the date = weak. Women don't respect that. You don't get the kind of woman you people expect by asking her everything she wants because she'll think you're a bitch and find a real man. Real men make the date, make sure the time works, and tells her where to be if he's not picking her up. She wants a dominant man and she found a beta. Once you're in a relationship or past the initial dating stage, then you can ask her what she's in the mood for. Both of those people suck and neither can communicate well.

After only 1 date, he's obviously not going to try to put too much effort in at once above basic manners, but she couldn't have the simple decency to respond with: "Sounds great! What time?" that's how planning works!
    And sorry, but if that first date really went that well to where she was excited about it, she does know she has the ability to ask him out too, right? My boyfriend and i - after our first date and after he messaged me the next morning, I just went straight on in to "would you like to meet again this week?" and we've been together now for 14 months.

    I've been on dating apps for about a year. The exchanges I've had with women mirror the above very closely, but the typical exchange begins with a woman matching with me (I don't match with them), continues with me writing to them (if they meet my criteria), and ends there - no comment, no acknowledgement, no sign that I'm dealing with anything other than a bot.
    I've spoken to some female friends of mine and they're adamant these women do exist. They're just looking for validation from random men whom they never plan to meet. Imagine being so painfully insecure that you feel compelled to reach out to complete strangers to gain their attention. Then ask yourself this: why would you do this and not actually meet up? I'll tell you why: these women are *already in relationships* and are using the dating apps to keep their options permanently open. They have no honour, no integrity, and no future with a self-respecting man.

    Another tip: *Call on the phone*. Voices carry 100x more information than texts, and get instant feedback with 100x more. There'd have been no misunderstanding about the second date if they'd talked. The "call" button is right there next to the "text" button. I've seen countless misunderstandings about texts leading to fights and worse that would never have occurred if someone had bothered to hit the "call" button instead. The two of them actually could have had a pleasant conversation they both enjoyed while planning the second date.

Maybe he knows way too many guys who NEED to be in control and then their partners end up wondering how they ended up in an abusive relationship with a narcissist or worse... and he doesn't want to be like that.

An "ok cool" text can be interpreted in any way she wants to.
    I do think so many things can go wrong on a 2nd date with ambivalent women, and that's actually a good thing. If she's not moving heaven and earth to get a second date with you, then you can't outspend and out-entertain your way into her interest.

I know you say you get the body language but guys will often hear what they want to hear and I struggled with guys who were pushy and with saying no. That's obviously on me, but it's a big reason why a lot of us prefer chatting online. We have more control of the situation and there's more time to respond. Again I think free flowing conversation probably suits guys better, but women have to be a bit more careful what we say, especially in the early stages, so as not to give off the wrong signals and things. So having that time to check the response is better as well and causes less miscommunication in the long term. But yeah, always a danger of misunderstanding when texting.

    You and I thought the samething. I immediately called it self sabotage she didn't want to be disappointed later, or felt she didn't deserve this guy. I had a few dates where women called me "to good to be true" statement. Setting expectations high doomed for failure, They make person sound like they are the greatest thing since slice cheese or something. Yeah, you're going to be disappointed.
    He seen the video realized there was some miscommunication as to what the issue was.

    I understand you want help. I think my HUGE RED FLAG, is putting those texts on social media and judging him in front of everyone. Sometimes, I shiver to think that's what the dating market is like...

    This is why I hate texting. It's too easy to read into a text message. One word can get the other person triggered, especially if that person always assumes the worst in people. I understand that people are busy and can't talk on the phone all the time, but taking the time to talk can immediately squash out any misunderstandings and assumptions.

    Omg I'm slightly feeling sorry for myself since I'm single on valentine's. As I'm watching this I'm thinking about my ex who recently dumped me over text on new years eve. And this is the kind of crap she would pull right around 4:05. She would say I haven't heard from you...when I was the last one to text!!! I'm laughing so hard right now because Courtney is my conscience when she pauses the video around the 4min mark because these were my exact thoughts going through it and watching the vid. I am no longer feeling sorry for myself, I'd rather be single than deal with that anymore lol.
