tl;dr: A friend needs some good reading material on TRP. He has killer qualities, but is a complete doormat and has a very Disney-like view of love. He has basic understanding of English, but understands German at a very advanced level.

Body:

So, I have this guy friend, a real pal. He's an absolute killer - good looks, good build, very talkative - loves talking to random people, has a sense of pride in his work, hobbies, etc... He has a natural smile to him - even when he's sad he looks like he's happy. Girls just love him. A recipe for awesomeness.

Unfortunately, he's a complete doormat as far as dealing with the opposite sex goes. Even worse, he can be a very emotional person. If he likes a girl he totally falls in love with her and has a very Disney-like opinion of "love". Very similar to his mother. That's not a coincidence, he was primarily brought up by her, because his father worked double shifts.

He's 23 years old and hasn't had a "real relationship". We all know that's not what he should be aiming for in his life, but it's incredibly difficult to explain such things to him. There's a ton of girls that are initially interested in him, but after a while they all lose interest. No doubt the reason is his complete lack of game. He IS willing to listen however. He's just not a very smart person. To add to this, he understands English at a basic level. He does however have a very advanced understanding of German.

So, any forums or maybe books you guys could recommend?
