What convinces me of this is a 'coaching series' put out by Simone Myers (or is that "Simon Meyers?"), friend of makehimdesireyou.com's Alex Carter. The introduction/sales-video for Simone's series tells of how she was able to 'eternally entrance' her man--while she was sitting almost-unnoticed next to the buxom blonde was hitting-on--by quietly muttering ONE LITTLE PHRASE to him after introducing herself. The series is called Lovetraction Lines ( It's similar to programs for men that teach them 'pickup-lines for ladies at the bar,' except a) it's for women and b) the ladies can use it (usually more-acceptibly) anywhere they interact with men---i.e. no alcohol-infused environment necessary. I don't know if I've EVER "dated"---I mean, not with the same 'intention' that "dates" are popular-for. And the married-people closest to me--my mom and my sister--met 'their husband' (my dad and my brother-in-law) DOING THEIR JOBS (mom & dad at the university, sis & in-law at Chuck E. Cheese's pizza-restaurant). So--as far as I know--'dating' is just "something they do on TV!" Should I find some examples of it in real life? Or do we need to 'remind the kids that the TV-stuff is only make-believe'?

You have to watch out with these so called "attraction" programs. Many of them give the opposite result that you want and make you look like some sort of creeper.

@mythociate @cupkitties I agree with both of you here. A lot of these "pick-up" lines and techniques are super creepy. However, if I see somebody enjoying themselves and having fun, then I am far more apt to want to join in and have fun along with them.

That's why the best bar-pickup-advice I've gotten (FOR FREE) is "just remember; you're not out there on a mission to 'bring somebody back to your place,' you're just at the bar TO HAVE FUN. If you're having fun the way another person likes, and they want to have fun with you (there and wherever else you might go), they're welcome to join you!"

Well, I think that we have more problems than reminding children that television is only make-believe if they are watching these kinds of shows. However, I do get your point, and I do not really believe most of what those people are saying. Sure, these techniques might work for some people, and they might work on some people, but I do not think that they would work for or on the majority of society. I think that the majority of it is staged for television to sell books or get ratings or whatever, and I feel badly for the people that are fooled by such things, especially when they try them and fail, because I suspect that it would negatively affect their confidence and self-image.

I guess every girl dreams of 'being swept-off-her-feet and -away to her Prince Charming's kingdom,' and we all "buy-into" that story so much that it 'casts a blanket over' the reality of his rental-apartment in the normal world---the 'romance' then becomes more "spiritual" (the same way 'becoming a Christian' doesn't really change your class-status, it just makes you "feel" like you're a child-of-Lord-God ... until you see the next "Last Notice" on your electric-bill )

@mythociate I suppose that there are a lot of girls that do feel that way, although I have never been one of them. I have known a few, though, and as their dreams come face to face with reality they receive a rude awakening. I have never been one to focus as much on what a person has as on who a person is and wants to be.

It all depends on what your definition of date. If you mean the guy comes to your house. Meets you and you two go out to a fancy restaurant where you try to see if you should get married in the near future. Or is it two or more people meeting up to do something fun. I have never been on the first type but I have been on many of the latter. my mom would say "it's a date."when we made plans to go out! I had a great hockey date with my brother! Let's face it, if you were meant to meet you will meet.Does it really matter f you are at work, at the bar, or the supermarket? And Why do we have to "date"?

Traditionally (as YOU should know, Ms. Stepford ), it's the 'courtship' or 'wooing'; the idea being that--when you two get married--your lives together will be something-like-that every night (companionship with the same general level of provided-food & -entertainment). With the media giving us ever-more-instant payoff, the aim of a 'date' has shifted from "eventual marriage" to "physicality that night." (On FUSION's Come Here & Say That, Alicia Menendez has made the claim that 'physicality that night' is USUALLY the goal of a 'date.')

Dating is a lost art. I actually believe in the old-fashioned way of asking a girl out to a date with a face to face invitation. None of that non-sense of sending a text!

No. I think 'sending a text' is actually closer to reality. Because in reality, you're just "going out to dinner with a friend from work/school or -who you met ... somewhere ...
