I've seen a LOT of helpful things on here from seasoned veterans, that may be helpful to the younger bucks. And since the subscribers here are from literally all over the world, I don't think it's going to hurt anybody else's chances or diminish his game. No need to give up your BIIIG secret move or anything, but hopefully people are willing to chip in 1 or 2 of their personalized tips. So to start it off, here's a few from me:

1) Turn off all notifications from bumble, tinder, whatsapp, maybe even your text messages, on your phone. If someone needs to get in touch with you immediately, they should/will call. If the notifications are popping up, you're likely to response faster. You do not want to be the "always responds in 30 seconds or less" guy.

2) Buy a hammock from amazon. For 30 bucks, you can get a nylon hammock, with adjustable straps to set up around 2 trees. It's light and, in the stuff-sack, about the size of a nalgene bottle. Hiking dates are already free and give you a chance to demonstrate that you're in great shape...and now there's an excuse to mix in some kino. Hammock = relaxation; it's not usually associated with sex, like your bed or "netflix and chill" is. But if you can't escalate while pressed up against someone in a hammock, faces 4 inches apart, you should think about what the fuck it is that you're doing.

3) If you're meeting up somewhere for a drink, coffee, or meal, show up 10 mins early, get settled, and read a book you brought. She won't be expecting you to be actively engaged in something else when she shows up to meet you. You might even see her looking around nervously before you wave her over, and the relief that she has not been stood up washes over her. This seems stupid, but it gives you an automatic first topic of convo. Also - you're not there focusing on her and getting anxious about how things will go, you're doing your thing and fitting her company into your plans. La dee da, I like to take in new ideas while I sip on a scotch. Oh yeah, that beautiful girl is here. 3 PM already? Fucking casual. See?
