Hi - thanks for your comments - good to hear them. My opinion is based on interviews with lots of women...it is true that some women like bad boys, no doubt, but women looking for long-term relationships are looking for a partner who is nurturing (the book "Social Intelligence" touches on this theory quite effectively) In my article I stated that it can be frustrating to be seen as a friend (never said men just wake up and are suddenly attracted!) I want to leave it open to the audience if they agree with Harry's rule or not. Some will and many won't....
Anyway, good food for thought! Thanks for watching and for sharing your perspective.
Tallulah - thanks for your question. I think you make it clear more through your actions than your words. On a first date, meet at a public place and take your own transportation. If your date invites you home and you don't want to hook up (but you liked the date) you can simply say 'no thanks, but I do hope to see you again'. If he doesn't want to see you after that - good thing you found out early.
MSanju - I'm sorry you were having technical problems. To answer your question - I think online dating is a great idea. It's a good way to meet new people and even if you're not interested in the person, you're practicing your dating muscle (which is always a good thing!) I did an episode on this early on called 'Building Your Perfect Profile'. Enjoy!
Hi All,
Thanks for the comments! I'm not sure if you watched the whole episode or read the Yahoo article but I mentioned the I'm also going to cover mistakes WOMEN make in a future segment. I absolutely agree that women make mistakes, too, so stay tuned for that episode (here on 'on dating') in the next few weeks. Thanks for your feedback and interest. I appreciate it!
Thanks, Luke. In the original cut I actually said 'don't shoot the messenger!' because my advice that guys should pay on a 1st date came from interviewing a number of women. That doesn't mean, though, that women shouldn't offer to pay for an aspect of the date or offer the next time.
Thanks for the question, Luke.
You can end a date by simply saying, "nice to meet you" or "have a good night" (in other words - don't pretend you're going to follow up if you're not). I actually address this question on an upcoming episode. Look out for episode 9, "Who Pays and Other Uncomfortable Topics"!
