Re: Any good books on newbies to dating, and coupleship and stuff?
^ That book may well be great if shyness or SA haven't prevented you from dating in the past but have just made it more difficult or meant that you were less successful than you might otherwise have been. But as someone with no dating experience whatsoever, I didn't find it even remotely helpful.
I'd be surprised if such books exist; the number of people who would have any real use for them would be too small to be worth publishing them. |

Re: Any good books on newbies to dating, and coupleship and stuff?
why do people want to rely so much on books? that is the impression I am getting here. If you really think you've missed out then why can't you learn by trial and error like everyone else did.

Most people figure out the basics of dating in their teens or, occasionally, early twenties by experimenting with other people who are just as inexperienced. But once you're outside that bracket, then the opportunity to learn with other beginners has been lost. For most activities, it's wouldn't be considered odd to want some sort of guidance before trying to join in with people who've been doing it for a while. |

Re: Any good books on newbies to dating, and coupleship and stuff?
how are you getting along with your dancing classes? i get the impression you are a regular there? seen any women you like?
i wouldn't say im an expert or anything but if you do see a woman you like, perhaps initiate some flirting to test the waters, gradually getting more and more obvious until you are sure she likes you back ..then ask her out somewhere. personally i think that is the best way, as if you do it right and can get the hint when someone IS NOT interested then you avoid rejections as you'll only be asking the person out when you are fairly sure they like you back. |

I wouldn't even know how to initiate flirting, or how to tell if someone was interested. As far as I can tell nobody ever is. You see it's things like this that people just take for granted whereas if you aren't accustomed to it are complete mysteries.

Another woman I found very attractive, got on quite well with, have some things common with (and find lovely to dance with) ... but she's not single. So again, just friends. Then there's another who I'm quite keen on. I'm not actually sure whether I'm in with a chance there or not. I suspect not, but I'll see, I guess. Quote:
