DATING TIPS MAILBAG: How To Tell
If She's Single
By David DeAngelo
Answers To Two Common Questions...
I get different variations of two
questions so often, that I'm going to address them both quickly.
1) What if she has a boyfriend?
MY COMMENTS:
Say "Next" and find yourself a woman
that doesn't have a boyfriend. I personally don't think it's worth the
hassle, energy, or effort. Plus, I don't like to be the guy that ruins
relationships. And I personally don't like to date women who have no
integrity (think about it). So just find a girl that's single... and
chances are that someday soon the one you like will be single... and
you'll be more attractive because you're dating other women.
2) I have this girl that's been a
friend for 47 years, and how do I get her to feel attracted to me?
MY COMMENTS:
Start making fun of her more, tease her
about things, and let her know the details about the women that you're
dating. Call her less often, and MOST IMPORTANTLY... if you're planning
on getting together with a friend, be ready to risk the relationship
forever, as involvement often leads to problems which damage
relationships for life. Much better in most cases to find someone new...
***QUESTION***
I have a question. There's this girl
that I really like, and she tells me that she just wants to be friends,
and I was just wondering, what can I do to make her change her mind?
>>>MY COMMENTS:
This is a great question, and I get it
a lot. I think of this as a much different question than the above, as
it's usually something that can be fixed. Here's how: If most of the
women that you meet are telling you that they want to be "just friends",
then it means that YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING TO MAKE THEM ALL FEEL THAT
WAY. The good news is that if you're doing something to make them feel
that way, then you can start doing something different to make them feel
ATTRACTED to you instead.
You're probably not going to be able to
do much for the ones that are already telling you that they want to just
"be friends", but here's what to do in the future:
STOP ACTING LIKE A "FRIEND" WHEN YOU
FIRST MEET THEM!
If you act like a "nice, friendly guy"
then a woman is NOT going to feel attracted to you. What do I mean by
"nice" and "friendly"?
I mean don't give her too many
compliments, don't act shy and don't smother her with attention. Don't
call her every five minutes. Don't talk with a tentative, weak voice.
Don't go far out of your way to be accommodating too early. Don't tell
her that you have feelings for her before you've gotten intimate with
her. DO tease her.
DO act Cocky & Funny around her. DO end
phone conversations and meetings first. DO act a little bit too
confident. DO use The Kiss Test early on in the relationship. DO speak
with strength and confidence.
Are you with me?
If you're getting a common response
from most of the women you meet, then the common denominator is YOU and
the way you're acting. So keep working on it until you get the results
you want.
***QUESTION***
I am a good looking athletic guy. When
single I have never had trouble getting dates. I use the cocky, funny
and mysterious rap. I have been in and out of a relationship with the
same wonderful and challenging woman for nine (I know its ridiculous)
years. I know that I want to spend my life with this woman, but she has
lost her interest and me and says she thinks of me as a brother. She
complains that I am not touchy feely enough, but then rejects me when I
try to be so. I am so confused by what she says and what she means. I
know that I lost my edge and she knows that I love her unconditionally.
I know that she fell for the cocky guy and said that she wanted to turn
me into a teddy bear. I tried unsuccessfully to do that for a while and
now that I want to really do it and think that I actually could, she
does not want it from me now.
My neediness and smothering have become
a burden to her. But it seems unnatural and insincere to play games
"hard to get" or try and make her jealous. Obviously, over nine years a
lot has happened and there has been pain and growth on both sides. What
can I do to both excite her and bring back the spark, but also love her
honestly for myself and for her? I know she loves me, but how can I help
her to fall in love with me. Please help me. I do not want to lose her.
Confused Reader
>>>MY COMMENTS:
First of all, remember that
relationships are not logical, cause-and-effect situations that adhere
to the laws of physics. Most often, there seems to be no rhyme or reason
for what is happening (My goal is to help men to understand what's going
on...).
If you've read my book and other
newsletters, then you know that I believe that women usually SAY that
they want one thing (a nice, stable, considerate guy) but that they are
ATTRACTED to something else (a challenging, confident, funny,
hard-to-get, unpredictable buy).
If you want her to be interested in
you, then you should probably do a few things:
1) Stop calling her.
2) Start dating other women, and let
her know about it.
3) Act Cocky & Funny when she calls
you.
4) Play hard to get... end
conversations first, don't call her back, etc.
5) Stop acting so nice and sensitive. I
know that some of this stuff might sound like mind games, but you have a
couple of choices: Be more interesting and become more attractive to
her, or keep doing what you're doing, and keep making her run. I hope
this helps.
***Question***
How do you find out if a girl is
available? You seem to talk to women that you just met. How and when do
you find out if they have a boyfriend or a husband. If I knew how to get
past this part I know I would buy your book."
>>>MY COMMENTS:
Would you believe that one of my
all-time very favorite questions is "Are you single?" If I'm interested
in a girl, I'll just stop, look her in the eyes, and in a casual tone
say "Are you single?" If she is, she says "yes", and if not, she says
"no." Sure, a woman will sometimes lie, but it's such an unusual
question, they usually answer honestly. If I get a yes, then I just say
"Great, do you have email..." and go into the "3 Minute" technique
you've read about in my book or other newsletters.
The key here is not to ask like you're
afraid, nervous, etc. It has to come across like you're asking what time
it is. Imagine that you're asking your best friend what time it is...
what tone of voice would you use? It would be cool, casual, and
straightforward. Try this one, you'll like it. Now go buy my book and
learn what to do after you get the numbers!
***QUESTION FROM A WOMAN***
Dear David D.,
You are right on (regarding how to
completely turn a woman OFF). So tell me... if someone is smothering me,
how can I turn HIM off?
I can't stand it. He's calling me
pumpkin. He got to tell me he loves me, every five minutes (I don't
respond). He's constantly in my face. He thinks I like it when he grabs
me every five seconds (I'm disgusted!! And I say so!!!!!!!). He thinks
he's moving to my new town with me (not invited - not even close). It
somehow escapes him when I tell him, no.
He even insists on carrying my cell
phone from car to door! He knows I hate it but he takes it right out of
my hand because he believes he "should" do that for me.
I think he's intelligent enough, but a
psycho when it comes to me. I have only known him six weeks and by the
third day, he was asking me to move in (NOT).
My friends have told me to run. I would
but he's perfectly fine except for the attention he pours on me. If
there's something I could do to curb this, I would. He's not listening.
I'm constantly plotting to avoid him because of this. He's driving me
completely insane. I can't stand it. PLEASE HELP!!!
L.
>>>MY COMMENTS:
First of all, have him go to:
http://www.doubleyourdating.com and get a copy of my book. No,
really.
I've included this because I want to
make an important point: THIS GUY THINKS THAT HE'S BEING A PERFECT
GENTLEMAN, AND THAT WHAT HE'S DOING SHOULD BE MAKING HER FEEL ATTRACTED
TO HIM.
But because he's doing what makes
logical sense instead of WHAT WORKS, he's causing this woman to feel
repelled to the point where she's "constantly plotting to avoid him..."
Here's the recipe for success:
9 parts teasing, playing hard-to-get,
acting Cocky & Funny, and 1 part being nice. If that doesn't work,
decrease niceness to 1 part in 20.
In the beginning of a relationship, a
woman is FAR more likely to feel ATTRACTED to you if you are NOT
smothering her with attention.
As far as your situation is concerned,
I would seriously tell this guy to get my book, and to stop acting like
a wuss. Good luck.
***QUESTION***
Hi David,
I read your ebook and it's truly helped
me very much. I've become more cocky and funny and from time to time
I'll pattern or tell stories to add more dimensions. And it's worked
very well.
But I have a question for you. I've
observed that most, if not all, of my successes come unplanned or
unexpected. The ones I've told myself to consciously work on all in some
way ended in some disappointment. What's your take on this? And a more
general question for you. What do you think to you are the key factors
to success (meaning achieving a goal)? much thankx.
A.
>>>MY COMMENTS:
As far as success in general is
concerned, read "Think And Grow Rich" by Hill. It's all in there.
As far as your successes coming
"unplanned", I have some thoughts...
You mentioned that you're acting more
Cocky & Funny in general. If you embody the qualities that are naturally
attractive to women, then THE CONTENT DOESN'T MATTER. You can talk about
anything, and it will work. I've found that I can make women feel
attracted to me now just by teasing them and busting on them. I have
women ask me out without them knowing ANYTHING about me...
You see, if you have an agenda, other
people can usually sense it. They pick it up in your subtle body
language.
When you're teasing and acting Cocky &
Funny, a woman says to herself "This guy obviously isn't just trying to
pick up on me, because he'd never say some of these things if he
were..."
And the more you do it, the more fun it
becomes, and the more you don't have an agenda... and the more
attractive you become. Keep up the good work.
And remember: Be ATTRACTIVE, NOT JUST
INTERESTING.

>MY COMMENTS:
Go to English class more... I had to
stop reading and take nine breaths while editing your question! lol...
OK, if I were you, I'd walk up to her
and say:
"Hey, I don't have time to talk, but do
you have email?"
If she says yes, then get it, and email
her this:
"Hey, what up? I've heard that you're
cool, and I think that we should be friends. Write back."
Then tease her a lot... she'll love it.
If that doesn't work, then write me
another 25 line sentence and I'll see what I can do.
***QUESTION***
I am not tall and I am not short. I'm
5' 7" with an athletic build. Sometimes I see women whom I consider very
attractive that are taller than me. From my past history I have noticed
that MOST women do not want to date men shorter than themselves. In many
cases women want to date men considerably taller than themselves, taller
than I am.
Is there some strategy to getting past
the height thing. I know confidence can conquer almost all but I have
been turned away so many times by a taller woman that I don't even try
anymore. I am not attracted only to taller women, I just come across
some, just like any other woman, I would like to get to know and
possibly ask for a date.
J.
>>>MY COMMENTS:
This is a great question! Here are my
thoughts...
I have a friend that is about 5'5, and
he is ALWAYS surrounded by hot women... he even has a reputation as
being the guy that always has ten hot women with him every time he's
out.
I am currently dating a woman that is
taller than me (she's the single most beautiful woman I've ever seen in
my life, and yes, she usually prefers taller men).
I also have another friend who's about
5'6 or so that only dates models and women who look like models (and
yes, they are often taller than him).
What's the deal?
Here's what I think you should do: Make
it her problem instead of yours.
If I meet a tall woman that I think is
attractive, I will immediately take the mindset "I don't usually like
women that are taller than me, but I'll make an exception for this one."
Then I figure out how to communicate
this to her...
I might start talking to her, then say
"Well, at first I wasn't going to come over and talk to you because I
don't usually date women who are taller than me... but I'm glad that I
talked to you, because you're fun..."
YOU HAVE TO COMMUNICATE THAT YOU'RE THE
ONE WHO'S MAKING THE EXCEPTION! Or, if you want to really give her a
hard time, you could make her laugh and have fun with her, then say
"Well, it's really too bad you're so tall..." then give her a hard time
and mention how if she were only a few inches shorter you'd ask her
out...
Are you with me? Don't imagine
limitations for yourself, and don't let her limitations be yours.
And if you're reading this and saying
"Well, this isn't my problem", realize that this can be used in ANY
situation where you think that a woman has a certain "type" that she's
attracted to....
And by the way... if you're reading
this right now and you REALLY get a world-class, complete education in
how to attract women, then I'd recommend you invest in my eBook, Double
Your Dating, and sign up for my free Dating Tips Newsletter. In them, I
explain the most advanced concepts available anywhere in the world on
meeting and dating women.

your life handled, then these are the tools that will help you do it.
