I'm not sure but for most of my adult dating life I've almost never gotten a third date. I asked one of my female friends to do some prying and for one reason or another.
Instead of being seen as the caring and inquisitive guy I am. I'm seen as the greatest liar/player in the world.
Honestly I'm a terrible liar; whenever I start it just gets out of hand. So I try to be as sincere as possible without hurting people’s feelings.

I guess what I’m asking is Why does showing sincere interest in my dates frighten them?

Wandering.... take the following advice with a grain of salt. Most of my relationships have been with female friends that had to hit me in the head with a brick because I couldn't take a hint.

That said...

Go slow with the compliments if your just getting to know her, she may doubt your ability too see several of her best qualities so quickly.

Rather then speaking your interest, display it by paying close attention when she speaks, opening doors and being as considerate of her as possible. Women are much quicker to doubt the sincerity of our words then the sincerity of our actions.

You know why that is Zdead? Like in my case, when my ex-husband was really nice it ended up he usually had an ulterior motive behind it. I do realize though that not all men are alike but that happens to be a red flag to some woman who have been in that situation.

Sincerity when overstated is sunshine to a vampire.

it's all about motive.....

when a man can (the key word here is CAN)(which means is able)


to see a woman for the human being she is rather than the one he wants to DO next..... well she'll pick that up and be refreshed, and possibly even curious!!

now whether or not the man can exercise imagination and act on it without expectation ...yes boys ..unconditionally... will determine how successful he may be with any woman.


i know this is an extremely far fetched idea for most of you males out there

which is why we have Alexandra's Academy for Young Men!

with trained instructors , highly qualified and experts in their fields... seek them out and

take a lesson!

ATTENTION!

Young men!

Do not fall into this nefarious trap! Amsterdam is an evil place full of drugs and 'professional women'!

Please, be careful of such offers!

I have delved into such lessons from time to time, when my own silly ego became deflated. Do not knock the Dean, her words not only wise, but offer a bright and different perspective.

When is my graduation party?

PROGRESS REPORT

Obi has made great progress thus far.
He demonstraite an eagerness to lean which is half the battle.
He follows instuctions well , makes good use of his extra curricular time.
Homework is always completed and passed in on time.
He does however every now and then get ahead of himself in thinking he has mastered all the Academy has to offer him in the way of enlightment.
I am sure with time we can resolve this issue and he will come to the understanding and acceptance that although he can remain on the honors roll The Academy is a never ending learning instution for it's subject is deep, complex and a never ending work of Art.

Forewared to the Dean for approval and any additional comments that may need to be added....lol
