Single City Guy

It’s become painfully obvious that I need help attracting a date. We men only have a handful of resources available to us and a majority of are very heavy handed. It speaks from the position of a Pick-Up Artist (PUA) whose sole intention is to find a “right now” woman. While these methods work, they aren’t my style, I really don’t feel like objectifying women as notches on my bedpost. PUA techniques do help raise confidence and gives us a chance at meeting women but really doesn’t help us meet quality women. Now it was time to try something a bit more serious and a lot more comfortable. It was time to try eat my pride and solicit the help of a Dating Coach.

Enter Laurie Davis (eFlirt Expert), a Dating Coach based out of NYC who specializes in online dating. She uses her background in PR marketing to tailor a person’s profile and online appearance to best attract the quality woman they are seeking. Her experience doesn’t just exist in the online realm, but reaches into the offline world. While the idea of seeing a dating coach seems a bit humiliating, I’m not beyond asking for help. To see how legitimate she was, last Wednesday I arrived at her weekly free advice seminar at Aroma on the Upper West Side.

There were some expectations I had of the eFlirt Expert. The first was that she would be attractive. Yes, I was expecting my dating coach to be cute. The logic here is easy, would you seriously take advice from someone who wasn’t attractive? That’s like getting financial advice from a plumber! My second expectation was that she was not single, this may be a bit confusing to understand. I believe a dating coach should know what it means to be single and use their own techniques to find a date for themselves. If they can find a date using their own techniques, then I should be able to find one as well! Third, she had to be comfortable, take a joke, and deal with my personality. I want to get along with my dating coach! Not only did Laurie meet these expectations, she was able to handle my questions and dole out great advice easily.

Laurie’s advice is sound and beyond traditional common sense. I had several cookie cutter questions lined up and I wanted if she’ll answer using some basic theoretical advice or substantial advice I could use immediately. Lucky she’s a legitimate dating coach and was able to answer my questions with helpful, ready to use advice that fit my personality. Along with helpful advice, she had a bevy of great ideas and additional things to try along with some great resources. It was enough for me to sign up for the “New Yorker” a $250 value and her most expensive package.

While I won’t give away Laurie’s secrets (and she won’t give away mine), I will keep you updated on my experience with the eFlirt Expert. She’s coming this week to go through my wardrobe. This is going to be interesting.
