I know a guy who is a dating coach. I think he spends most of his time picking up the women that won’t date the guy he is supposed to be coaching.

I imagine he sits at the bar and tells the women that he is the dating coach, and bingo, they leave with him.

You might get lucky if you go to the bar with a friend and you pretend to be his dating coach.

Stranger, it might just be me but you’re sort of coming off as a bit crabby and bitter. Do you think you might come off that way on these dates? Maybe shooting yourself in the foot before you give it a chance?
