The following is an excerpt of David’s interview in Top Coaching Techniques.

Ingrid:        What about that ‘asking this person out’? Do you then proceed on to asking for their phone number? What’s the best way to do that?

David:         Yes. Well, I’m not going to get into the masculine and the feminine, whose role is what, right? We’re just going to keep it practical for now because that’s a whole different topic. But once you’ve worked out who you’re after, and once you work out where they hang out, I do suggest a lot of dating.

Ingrid:        Really?

David:         I suggest a lot of dating. See, why try and work out, over just bumping into somebody every now and then, whether or not they’re the right person? You know, why not spend some time with them? Now here’s something that’s very important when you’re dating. Do not view this as an interview for your last partner. Right? That’s what happens, particularly because there’s a lot of pressure on women to get into a relationship in our society, so there’s a tendency to go out and think, ‘Is he the one? Am I going to stay with him? Are we going to be a couple?’ What I really suggest is that you view this as having fun. Spend some time with them, do something you really want to do, and take the pressure off. If it works out and you want to have another date, great. If it doesn’t work out, thank them for their time and say, ‘I really appreciate you coming out. It was great,’ you know, and we won’t do anymore.
