When it comes to dating?

Let me explain. As I said, I'm about to move to Los Angeles in Mid-September. I've been out of the dating scene a long time. Was taking care of my father who died back in June.

Part of moving to LA for me was to have fun. With dating being apart of that fun. So I decided to polish up on what to do and what not to by this girl who teaches men how to interest women -

I am only going to focus on dating women my age after this. As there are a lot more single 30ish women in LA who dont have kids. I'm guessing they are a little more mature than doing these dating tactics.

To the single people in their 20's dating, I salute you. Cause if I was your age and not going to LA, I'd be a monk.

Does she even like you?

I don't think you should take everything said in this video literally. Why not talk to her and let her speak for herself?

wtf kind of answer is that ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

She told dudes not to embarrass himself and her in public .... and you think that should be taken seriously?

You made a comment here without even watching the video ... or you're 12 years old. One of the two.

@P-Angel, the video is ridiculous. What happen to being just courteous about the matter and simply saying no. All this back and forth silliness should not be taken literally. A man should handle a rejection with dignity and move on. It's really that simple.

So, when the guy calls or text at some point and realize it's not your number and ends up running into you again, then what? Couldn't that all be avoided by being a mature adult and kindly saying no? Then theres no fake number involved, no chance of him calling then and there to make sure the number is real, and you both can go your seperate ways like dignified adults.

I understand the intention of the woman in the video is to help men who may not know better, but I have never seen a man call any women once he get's her number to check if it's real. So, that is why I maybe looking at this with a different set of eyes compared to other people. If that is what men and women have resorted to, then yea, like OP said whats the point anymore...

Then he should realize she wasn't interested from the get go and not ever mention it again.

Sorry, been busy with work project which will fund my move to LA. BTW I would never call a girl's number right after getting it to make sure it's real. That is common sense. If she doesn't dig me then I move on.

Let me be clear on something - I'm not studying all this stuff just for Virgo Girl. I've been out of the dating game for years due to looking after my father full-time. I am completely and totally rusty.

I need to know what I'm doing so when I make my first screw-up's they won't be as big. BTW here is another video I was watching from her-
