Yes, I agree clueless and....there's just something missing there. I do want to help him find someone so I guess I'll be plugging along trying to help...

I think it's wrong to try to find someone at this juncture in his life. He needs to work on himself.

I used to work in a clinic. They're not free but they have a sliding scale fee. The clinic will look up how much you make on a chart of fees and from there can tell you how much you'll be charged for each visit. Usually the fees are from $2 to $35 per visit in MD. $35 fee is someone that is making lots of money.

Also if you have medical insurance, you should have mental health benefits too. No one at work will know and HR can not tell anyone that you are using your mental health benefits.

I agree with this. You can't find someone that will love and cherish you in life if you don't know yourself. I've given myself a break from love to find myself so that when I do go out again looking for it, I'll know what I want from another person. I've had a bad record of love and I can't blame the other person but must take some responsibility on picking the wrong person over and over again.

All of the be confident advice without actual examples means nothing. A person can only be confident if they have a good idea of how dating works and what they will be doing. And all that comes from what? Examples.

You only get better at something by having an idea of HOW to do it.

Like in the past I have heard posters say you have to tease her a little. But gave no example on how to do that.
I use a variety of techniques; scents, flavors, textures, etc. I like to gently tie up & blindfold her, bringing about the element of surprise, which heightens the experience. I may drizzle certain flavors on erotic, sensitive areas, and gently kiss the areas. Occasionally suprising her with a gentle tickle.
I can't express the utmost importance of the trust factor. The woman is at her most vunerable state here, breaking that trust is an undescribable violation of that trust. Most women just aren't willing to do what I described in a restaurant, much less on a first date.

I agree. I worked on myself for years before getting involved with anyone. The first person post-self improvement that I dated went pretty well. We did end up breaking up but it was a good relationship over all. We just wanted different things. Then I went on with my life, worked, raised my son, etc. A little over a year later I met my husband.

I sincerely believe people must be comfortable with themselves and be self aware enough to change behaviors in order to have a successful relationship.

You want a short lesson on how to get a woman interested in you?

LISTEN TO HER (assuming she is interesting, don't waste your time on a boring female). That doesn't mean pretend to listen to her. It means making eye contact, really listening to her, asking questions and taking an interest in what she's interested in.

Very simple and very effective advice that anyone can follow. It works for both genders. People love to talk about things they're interested in and love it when someone listens to them.

Yes, I agree. I'm finally ready to date again and now I know what I want out of a relationship and how to behave in an adult way. (I always found needy men and was their mama).

I am willing to pay for an attractive female to come to my apartment and talk to me about socializing and dating.
