Trials and tribulations of dating

[Dawn70]

I find it fascinating that G wants to kick the coach in the nutz but he teaches men to be and act exactly how she wants a man to act.

I agree with J you do have a couple choices available.

I think I'm missing something. I'm not trying to be argumentative, but it seems like the coach, at least according to my understanding of all the many discussions about him on other threads, is teaching men to act exactly like this guy is acting now (not reaching out much, not texting a lot, not using the phone, etc.), but I don't get the sense that is exactly how G wants him to act. Clearly, if it were, she would be much more interested in him. Again, maybe I'm missing something, but I'm getting the distinct impression that G wants MORE communication and an actual date invitation, not just random texts here and there and nothing else, because this is leaving her feeling like he is disinterested which is killing her interest. It is very possible that I misunderstood and the coach was urging men to be more communicative, but it just seemed like (again MY understanding of what I was reading) the coach was urging me to have minimal communication and kind of cut to the chase.

Again, not trying to argue LH....maybe just different perspectives? Not even sure. I know a lot of people advocate not having a ton of communication prior to setting a date and they also advocate setting a first meet fairly quickly so, presumably, they can gauge actual interest. I don't know what the right answer or magic bullet is or whatever, but this guy not reaching out much just seems to be frustrating to G, at least from what I'm reading. Again, maybe I'm missing something and I'm just plain wrong. It has happened before. LOL
