Dating advice

By Bob

Right now I am getting dating advice from two main people.    One is a woman, one is a guy.   The guy does alright with the women, he usually is going “steady” with somebody so he probably knows some things.    But he also seems to believe in a lot of dating games which I think are all bullshit.    He use to talk about the “Date Doctor” or something.   He says, I shouldn’t listen to the female advice.   He doesn’t give a concrete reason why.    I am not sure who to listen to right now, in the end, I am going to be following my own way but I still want good ideas on when to call/text and whatever.    

A good example was last night, the guy told me “Do not talk to her on the phone for a long length of time, you are calling to set a date, not be her friend.”   Meanwhile beyond email I have never talked to this girl so I thought talking to her for a bit on the phone would make us both comfortable.    I tried to do something in-between.   Speaking about the girl’s advice, she went on vacation so I am not getting any advice from her for the next couple of days.   I may screw it up before she gets back.

    Darc and I met on the Internet – we exchanged a couple of emails before he called me. Our 1st phone conversations was I think 7 hours. We’ve been together over 10 years now, and lament that it hasn’t been longer.

    Your male friend’s advice is lame. Talk to the girl! In the end, a spouse is a best friend with benefits. Call her!

    Don’t take dating/relationship advice from single people … and never trust a skinny chef.

  4. Bob Says:

    Neither of the people I was taking advice from are single, they are both in relationships.

  5. DarcsFalcon Says:

    But are they married?

  6. Bob Says:

    The girl is married the guy isn’t but he has been in a committed relationship for 3 years.

  7. DarcsFalcon Says:

    In the end, trust yourself and be yourself. If you’re looking for an honest and sincere relationship, one that might lead to marriage, don’t play games. That cheapens you and insults her. Just be Bob, and you’ll be fine. :)
