125. The Dating Coach Episode: Figuring Out the "Click"
Do you know the moment when you feel as if you don't understand something, and then something just clicks? What do you do when the thing you are confused about is dating? Is it possible to help coach someone who hasn't had a lot of success at dating to get something as complex as flirting to "click"? That's exactly what Shreye Saxena wanted to figure out when he went to a dating coach recently. Her class was appealing to the specific niche of cis-het men trying to figure out how to date women, and she has a question on her FAQ page relating to whether her method works for Indian men specifically because Indian men tend to perform worse than other demographics on dating apps. Does Shreye think it was worth the money? All you have to do is listen to the intro of this episode to find out. We discuss how "coachable" we think a lot of the soft skills of dating are, what flirting even is, and whether there are actually similarities in philosophy behind polyamory and arranged marriages.
