@@thephotoandthestory I met my husband when he was hired at the school I worked at. We hit it off, and eventually (8 months later) he asked me out. We dated secretly for awhile because we were colleagues (and worked at a school). Our first pre-date was simply going to a trail to walk my dog (and the dog I was fostering). Then our first real date was a home-cooked meal at his apartment (small community and going "out" anywhere would have created gossip). By our third date we were in love. That was 9 years, one wedding, and two children ago! We only get to go out on a "date" maybe 2 or 3 times a year in this season of life. But every evening, after our children are asleep, we talk and laugh while doing our nightly chores (and sometimes bicker). Life is complicated enough, and marriage and parenthood comes with enough of their own challenges - why would anyone want a partner that is high-maintenance and uncooperative?!

[@crimestoppers1877]

Try this solution? There is an implied duty of the person who implies asking a question or interrogatory to listen with the goal of understanding. Most women fail at this because they ask questions for a different reason. They do not care about your answer they just want control. There are four types of sentences in the English language. The Interrogatory is a demand for action, but has no obvious requirement for her to actually LISTEN.or understand the answer. I predict she will resolve this by keeping you responding to more and more questions for ultimate "triumph". Once you teach her your understanding of these questions, if she continues I would be ambivalent, obtuse and ignore her. This is what you do to control children who play the same game. Someday she might grow up to be an adult? One attitude ALL women hate is being ignored! They can NEVER control you when you are ambivalent. Men who are successful getting the attention of women use this same ploy. Ignore her and they will follow. I don't know why, but I speculate they like a challenge to control men. I'll never know because I do not care. There are plenty of them keeping me "busy".

[@rynegade]

The proper dating technique: Create plans for a definite date and general time (eg. Sunday afternoon) a few days or a week before. This lets the person get excited about the date, show you off to their friends, and generally give them something to look forward to during the week. Touch base at least 16 hours before the date (6 pm Saturday for a noon Sunday date). This is to confirm the date when women are most flaky early on, and lets you judge their interest and how to approach the date, romantic, unserious, etc. Set a definite time and location. Women do not like making decisions so even if you are traveling to them, pick a restaurant local to them that has great reviews, and make a reservation. Do not text again! Meet them inside the location exactly on time! You want them to have tiny expectant butterflies.

You don't get the kind of woman you people expect by asking her everything she wants because she'll think you're a bitch and find a real man. Real men make the date, make sure the time works, and tells her where to be if he's not picking her up. She wants a dominant man and she found a beta.

Ms. Ryan, you are doing a great service to civilization by your video critiques of the verdant, adolescent behaviors of twenty-first women. I am married 51 years in June of 2024, and cannot wrap my mind around the attitudes and behaviors of these twenty-first century women, or their "requirements" for finding a life partner. Men are human beings and have never (at least in my lifetime) been a "build-to-print" commodity. Please keep publishing. My wife, the psychiatrist, laughs at the women in your videos.

Very good video, with a very good approach to communication. You are so well-balanced in commenting on that video, summarizing things, and stressing out each side of it. I believe a little bit of humbleness on each side (he and she, men and women), an open attitude to clarify things ("The Dutch" misunderstanding), and a lesser attitude of jumping to conclusions/rejection would be constructive - giving the fact that the first date was appreciated as nice. Of course, if there are gut feelings that something is not right, rejection is a survival necessary thing, but this wasn't the case. Your kind approach of both parts is filled with calm, equilibrium, sincerity, and charm, thank you.

There was a third update from her as well. She cut the guy off. He suggested a hockey game for their date, presumably to gauge interest, and she decided he didn't have a concrete enough plan detailed in his text.

After only 1 date, he's obviously not going to try to put too much effort in at once above basic manners, but she couldn't have the simple decency to respond with: "Sounds great! What time?" that's how planning works! And sorry, but if that first date really went that well to where she was excited about it, she does know she has the ability to ask him out too, right? My boyfriend and i - after our first date and after he messaged me the next morning, I just went straight on in to "would you like to meet again this week?" and we've been together now for 14 months. Like obviously, don't start picking out your wedding dress or sleeping together, but the games of "he needs to do x, y, and z" kind of become moot after you both realize you really like each other.

Courtney is so surprised but being in that guy’s position is 90% of dating for men. The other 10% is girl flaking, not over her ex, using you for validation, or worst of all, thinking things went well after a first date only to get ghosted.

Another tip: *Call on the phone*. Voices carry 100x more information than texts, and get instant feedback with 100x more. There'd have been no misunderstanding about the second date if they'd talked. The "call" button is right there next to the "text" button. I've seen countless misunderstandings about texts leading to fights and worse that would never have occurred if someone had bothered to hit the "call" button instead. The two of them actually could have had a pleasant conversation they both enjoyed while planning the second date.

I've been on dating apps for about a year. The exchanges I've had with women mirror the above very closely, but the typical exchange begins with a woman matching with me (I don't match with them), continues with me writing to them (if they meet my criteria), and ends there - no comment, no acknowledgement, no sign that I'm dealing with anything other than a bot. I've spoken to some female friends of mine and they're adamant these women do exist. They're just looking for validation from random men whom they never plan to meet. Imagine being so painfully insecure that you feel compelled to reach out to complete strangers to gain their attention. Then ask yourself this: why would you do this and not actually meet up? I'll tell you why: these women are *already in relationships* and are using the dating apps to keep their options permanently open. They have no honour, no integrity, and no future with a self-respecting man.

Communicating online suits women better than it probably suits guys. Not man bashing here but I always found I could be bullied a little bit in person. I know you say you get the body language but guys will often hear what they want to hear and I struggled with guys who were pushy and with saying no. That's obviously on me, but it's a big reason why a lot of us prefer chatting online. We have more control of the situation and there's more time to respond. Again I think free flowing conversation probably suits guys better, but women have to be a bit more careful what we say, especially in the early stages, so as not to give off the wrong signals and things. So having that time to check the response is better as well and causes less miscommunication in the long term. But yeah, always a danger of misunderstanding when texting.

[@RespectMyAuthoritaah]

@@MySimDied You are truly delusional. When you are online you give away all your female power. Your personal presence, in front of a man, is more powerful than anything you can say in a text message. Men are hard wired to respond to your physical presence. Why give away any advantage you have?

The guy is obviously very experienced with flaky women; he (as do all men eventually) confirmed the date the previous day, and when she was ambivalent he tried one more time, then didn't worry about it anymore after a carefully neutral "ok cool" final text. An "ok cool" text can be interpreted in any way she wants to. I do think so many things can go wrong on a 2nd date with ambivalent women, and that's actually a good thing. If she's not moving heaven and earth to get a second date with you, then you can't outspend and out-entertain your way into her interest.

Maybe he knows way too many guys who NEED to be in control and then their partners end up wondering how they ended up in an abusive relationship with a narcissist or worse... and he doesn't want to be like that. Our society tries to train all men to be bosses and it's amazing to me that so many women seem to fall for this type, only to complain later how bossy the guy is! But yeah, clear communication is what it's all about!!

As a man just listening to her and miscommunication of everything is causing me high anxiety, it's no small wonder why men have had enough

[@Swearengen1980]

Maybe women have had enough of betas who can't act like men and plan a date. There's fault enough to go around for everyone, but in this specific scenario, the man is wrong at every turn, from his pathetic 3 word texts, to waiting a week to message, to screwing up how to be courteous and still plan the date himself. Any woman would have no respect for that man, just not an annoying one like her.

If you're getting anxious over a tik tok video therapy is in order.

​@MikeyP109 you sound like a gaslighter. Maybe you need therapy.

Omg I'm slightly feeling sorry for myself since I'm single on valentine's. As I'm watching this I'm thinking about my ex who recently dumped me over text on new years eve. And this is the kind of crap she would pull right around 4:05. She would say I haven't heard from you...when I was the last one to text!!! I'm laughing so hard right now because Courtney is my conscience when she pauses the video around the 4min mark because these were my exact thoughts going through it and watching the vid. I am no longer feeling sorry for myself, I'd rather be single than deal with that anymore lol.

Just remember that not all people are like this :)

This is why I hate texting. It's too easy to read into a text message. One word can get the other person triggered, especially if that person always assumes the worst in people. I understand that people are busy and can't talk on the phone all the time, but taking the time to talk can immediately squash out any misunderstandings and assumptions.

Text is the best way to miss communicate. I realize most people use it for a majority of interactions but it’s never been good in the beginning of getting to know someone in my experience.
