The best dating advice I’ve heard is from a man who never asks for a date the first time he calls, texts, or emails. He exercises patience and waits until the second or third contact. Even then, he tries to suggest something that he might do with any friend, like a bike ride, a walk, or a gallery tour. This approach takes a little longer, but it builds real trust and affection before moving on to the heavier stuff. In the long run, he probably gets further faster and with a more satisfying outcome.
