It's funny how dudes that don't know each other, never broke bread in real life - all come to the very same conclusions and practices. Cause this is exactly what I do, and I know it's exactly what other people do - and nobody learned this online or in a book someplace.
The scary thing is the number of guys who don't know that. I'd have friends and acquaintances asking me how I was doing so well at dating.
They would rarely get dates, but when they did, they'd go out with a chick and get rejected; they never try and kiss a chick. They never attempt to break the touch barrier. They try and be a perfect gentleman, as that's what we've been taught, but sometimes a man has to be clear about what he wants. All this holding back comes across as indecisive to a lot of women.
The number of women who told me it turned them on that I made a reservation for drinks and sent them the details of where we're meeting and what time.
Now that doesn't mean strong-arming a chick. I just let a woman know I'm interested in her mentally and physically. The more I dated, the more I picked up on energy right away.
I could always tell when a date was going to go badly. As a chick's energy in person is all messed up.
I used to do the dinner invite, but learned, why do I want to take the risk of sitting down for a meal with a woman I may find absolutely boring or who is looking to get fed.
It's why I shifted to meeting for drinks. I can bail if the date goes downhill. A chick who insists on dinner as a first date can go kick rocks. I tell my guy friends never to fall for that shyt. If a chick is interested, a coffee date will work, I mean, we're supposed to be seeing if we vibe. We don't need dinner for that.
Dinner is only for women I've had sex with. As at least I know I enjoy their company.
