    FEEDBACK thread: LR's dating practice

    This is [a redo of] the thread where you can provide feedback, advice or coach LR in his responses and/or approach to any of his 'dates' in the other thread. Be nice.

    I had to delete the other thread b/c of our reading comprehension-challenged subset of our forum.
    Second thoughts can generally be amended with judicious action; injudicious actions can seldom be recovered with second thoughts.

    This one is easy. She's given you an opening by speaking to you first - that's an invitation to talk. If a girl does that, that means she might find you interesting and wants to find out.

    I'll give you a hint: Say something back to her that's mildly flattering but relevant. This lets her know that you're also possibly interested.

    I don't know what a good idea of something to say would be: I don't want to get slapped and I don't really have confidence that I could pull off a physical compliment.
    Because we have to chase him. Because he's the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A dark knight.

    You WON'T get slapped if she's invited you to talk unless you say something stupid like "Wow, you've got a great rack."

    Oh, and that's another thing. Don't talk to their tits. Look 'em in the eyes unless they invite you to look at their tits - and they will if they're interested. I'll tell you more about that later.

    :O WHAT?! They invite looks at their tits?!!! WTF?

    Anyway, eye contact is easy for me. It's just what to say that is sooooo killer..

    Yes, they do. Not usually verbally, but they will. They'll bend over to pick something up, or lean forward slightly to let the shirt drop away from the cleavage... sometimes they're a bit more blatant and will smile, take a deep breath and arch their back a bit. It's totally unconscious but it happens all the time. You might take some time doing as Rowen suggests and people-watch in a bar.

    Oh, and that doesn't mean stare. It means take a quick glance and back to her face. She's letting you know that your attentions are not unwanted.

    There are a lot of subtle-ish cues that are mostly unconscious that people do in the mating dance.

    My God. This is so complicated. Learning IT was comparatively easier...They should really teach this in college.

    Not bad. Eliminate the "baby" though, it's a bit too familiar. Otherwise it's good - Clever, funny and mildly flattering.

    LR we will tesch uou body lsnguage, eye contact signals when you have a date. for now just focus on getting one and you wont be so overwhelmed. one thing at a time.

    i wonder do some parents lock their kids in a dark room. it baffles me how people dont just learn these things naturally but your right about teaching kids about relationships in school . wed prob have a lot more happy couples if they did.
