    Hey Courtney, this is just the video for me. I’m almost 20, never had a gf. I’ve had plenty of girls ask me out but I could never say yes because I didn’t have a phone (strict parents). I’ve also dealt with depression the last few years but I’m finally getting out of it. I’m starting college soon so I hope to meet a nice lady to spend my life with and finally get a gf 😂

    Guys above, are you living in Korea? You DON'T NEED PHONES to meet girls ! A phone doesn't help you AT ALL to approach a girl/woman!!!!! Advice: NOTHING helps you to approach a girl or a woman IF SHE DOESN'T WANT TO BE APPROACHED BY YOU ! If she does want, you'll be the first person informed. No phones, no technology, no tricks. Real life is cruel and you are alone! Bare in mind this rule! Now, be prepared to be humiliated, dropped down when you expect the least, all in all be prepared to die in the ferocious reality of relationships. Good luck guys!

    ​@adriantataranu2769 bro having makes it 100 times easier. This is the 21st century where most people our age have had a phone since they were 11. It makes communication way easier. What if you have to get somewhere you've never been. I mean dating can definitely be done without a phone but at the age we're at it's pretty much required.

    I'm just turning 39 next month, after my last relationship in my late 20s ending horribly I decided I needed to work on me. That's what I've done for the last decade. Recently started dating. I do worry about the mistakes I WILL make but it will be more about who I am and my ability to self correct. I don't believe many women who learn about me would hold it against me. To many guys haven't gone back and examined there life as a story and figuring out how to explain it without sounding pathetic. That's the problem, you're more ashamed of the lack of work, you won't be able to explain why you were single not that you were single.

    Best relationship advice from a couple that had been married for almost 60 years: understand your partners faults and deal with them. What does this mean? Understand what your partners faults, quirks, habits, etc. are and if none of them are deal-breakers, you understand that you will not change any of them or make them go away; so in other words, you deal with them. And for those of you that think you don't have any of those, you are wrong; you have some...everyone does. My wife and I have been very happily married for over 30 years...

I'm now in a loving relationship and I think your videos definitely contributed to the journey here. I would love to hear more focused on women as well. Thank you! 😊 Edited to add: My boyfriend slid into my DMs from a ski group on facebook. Never had any success with dating apps. So it was a bit of a mix of hobbies and online. It's crazy how well we have worked together even though I knew nothing about him before our first date. 😂

    I've never had a girlfriend myself. I'm 30, and honestly after being single for so long, I'm growing more and more fond of being single. Yes I have days when I don't want to be, but after hearing so many stories and tips on dating and marriage, I think it's been a good thing I've been single for so long. As an introverted autistic 30 year old man, it's difficult for someone like me. Even at churches, soup kitchens, clubs, libraries, and other places I go to. Each woman is different so trying a new approach with each woman is always a roll of the dice and never really worked for me. I've gotten a few numbers but nothing came from them. On top of that, it's hard for me as it is navigating through daily life and never having broad knowledge about reading people. So yeah, I think it's good I'm single, yeah it sucks at times but with each passing year I remain a bachelor, I becoming more indifferent to relationships. It's just too much for a man like me to do it anyway. I'm just not really compatible with anyone. Now you're probably saying "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take" and yes I understand that and I don't really care if a woman wants me at this point.

    I was one of those who thought 'people should just has to accept me for the way I am' only to realize it's not a good way to find a partner. As they say: "You are what you attract." Dress, act, smell and live like a slob, you're only gonna attract other slobs. I had to clean up my act, especially after my uncle gave me a good tongue lashing, only to have a roommate years later who had the same mentality I once did... except worse. He literally has no standards; I would always find the apartment messy with food stains everywhere. I told him he has to clean up and asked him 'what would someone he likes think if they saw his home in this state?' He told me (half-jokingly): "I'll just find someone who has no standards." We went our separate ways a couple years ago, he's still single and lives in a messy home to this day.

Just be aware of what kind of person you want to be with, and if it looks like you're running into a landmine, chances are you'll end up in a very uncomfortable position. Stay safe, and remember to always be the best version of yourself for others out there.

    Love this Q&A. Wondering if you could make a video that really goes in to detail on "slow and steady wins the race." I am 22 and have only first started dating of any sort this year. One thing I struggle with is meeting a girl who expresses high interest at first, but I take things way too fast because I get too excited and come off as clingy or overwhelming, which results in their interest fading. I have slowly been getting better at this, but would like to see some sort of guide for the following: you see an attractive woman in an environment you both frequent (coffee shop, yoga class, library, etc.), how and when do you go about introducing yourself, how to engage with her on a regular basis without being weird, how to flirt without coming off too strong, and how to know when/if you should ask her out on a date, and ultimately how to handle subsequent dates and communication if you get that far haha. I would love to know how to do this because even when a woman gives me very clear nonverbal signs she is interested, I struggle to go up and approach her because I am afraid I will somehow eff it up or go down the road of clinginess and push her away, so I end up not approaching her at all... Help on this would be great as I am sure there are many others in my same shoes.

    For us men at the start it's always a numbers game. Women in general do not explain themselves or will not give the thruthful reason for why they lose interest. Know your strengths & passions, work towards them everyday, therefore know your boundaries (because you are constrained by the effort you put out everyday to become better at your strengths). THat will make you more attractive for women. You can still chat up every girl, but you will have in your mind "She looks ok. But is she worth the effort? What is she able to add to my life?" because you put yourself first. Not this "OMG, OMG, OMG i NEED it to work out with her, she is the ONLY one". Obvious hyperbol here. There is no hard and fast rule on how to do everything because on the micro level every girl is different and responds to different things positively and negatively. As long as you put yourself first, are genuinely interested in her and enjoy the JOURNEY, not the GOAL, you will be fine. Ask her the tough questions to see if she would add to your life and ask her how you could add to her life. Women treat relationships as a business deal, if you show her you do the same she will appreciate your candor. Best of luck to you. You are already doing great.

    Thank you Courtney for all your videos. Started watching them in September this year. I am an introverted person, but like to go out and spend time with friends when I'm home, met a few wonderful woman. Biggest dilemma I have when it comes to dating for me is my work schedule and type of work, I work in telecom climbing cell towers. Currently work 4 weeks on and 1 week off which is standard in my industry, most of the jobs are within a reasonable driving distance, but sometimes other states as well. Pursued a couple woman who at first didn't care or see it as an issue that my job requires me to be away for 4 weeks at a time, only to be told afrer a few months its not working out. 2 woman on seperate occassions(wasn't seeing them both at the same time) drove out to where my job had us working a few times, but after a couple months was told its too much and wouldn't work out. Been divorced for 3 years, was married for 9 years, and feel like it somehow lowered my self esteem tremendously and made me scared to talk to girls as well as other people in general.

    I appreciate the thought Courtney, but I've been single for almost 11 years (I'll be 29 soon). I've picked up several hobbies over the years. Biking, kayaking, cooking, etc. I don't go to bars and not very religious (so I don't go to church). When the weather is warm, I'm outside a lot of time. Doing yard work, cleaning my car, going for walks, etc. I've tried online dating in the past. No success after several months (this is going back like 5 years ago). All the women acted like they wanted to be super models, caked with make-up, rather than being down to Earth. So, I wouldn't swipe on any of them (they were too intimidating). I don't think it would make any difference today. Part of the difficulty is a lack of friends too. I have a small group of friends I hang out occasionally, but they are more introverted than me. So, I don't look like an interesting person from someone peaking from the outside. On top of that, they don't have many friends either, so its not like I can reach out to a friend of a friend for a date. Most people I come across are 10+ years older. Whether it is at work or grocery shopping. Only people I see kayaking are usually couples. No one else is out walking or biking, let alone their own yard. There are not many clubs, no classes, no casual adult sport leagues, etc. So, meeting new people is very difficult. I think the best way for me to meet someone is through some kind of activity, the only issue is, there are not many near me. Communities don't exist anymore. At least I've never seen one or have been introduced to any. I don't use much of social media in general either, so instagram is a no go too. I've given up on trying to find a date years ago. But there is always still just a little bit of hope that someone will actually see me as me.
