There is not a good seat in the house, and it’s the most poorly run place I’ve ever seen. It took an hour to get the car out of the parking lot. An hour! I pulled out of the parking space and could see the exit, but we just couldn’t get to it. They just had no clue how to move traffic.

The show itself was great! There was the Internet rumor that they were doing a fifteen minute cover of Michael Jackson’s “Billy Jean” at all of their shows. You’ve got to love the Internet. The song “Billy Jean” is three minutes long . . . and so was the cover version that Coldplay did last night.

I love how rumors start. So let’s start our own rumor today. I don’t know what I want to start, but there’s got to be something we can start. Give me some time, I’ll come up with something during the day (and maybe I’ll post it in the comments).

Otherwise, let’s get into today’s truth . . .

In a recent blog, I discussed how women can know if a man is attracted to them on a date. Now let’s talk about how a woman can keep that attraction going.

Men love to be teased. If a man touches your arm during the course of a date, touch him a few times back. That will drive him crazy. When you go to the bathroom, get up and on the way to the bathroom touch his shoulder and whisper “I’ll be right back” in his ear. That will really drive him crazy!

When he’s talking and leaning into you, lean into him so he can feel your closeness. When he goes to kiss you on the cheek, give him a quick kiss on the lips, a quick smile, and then walk away. As you’re walking away, turn around and give him another smile.

Also, compliment a man during a date. Tell him you’re having a good time. Laugh at his silly jokes. This will keep him intrigued.

These are some simple techniques that you can use to flirt and let a man know that you’re interested

Do you know what that word means when a guy says it to you? It means that he is not listening to you anymore. He has not stopped listening to you because he’s bored or because he isn’t interested in you . . . in fact it’s just the opposite.

When I guy starts to respond to you with the word “cool,” it means he is very attracted to you and is nervous. Due to his nervousness he doesn’t know what to say, so all he says is “cool.” The “cool” guy will often have his hands deep in his pockets. He’ll roll his shoulders forward a little.

So how do you get these guys to come out of the “cool” zone? How do you get them to say something other than “cool?”

I understand that when men start doing the “cool” thing, it can be a quick conversation killer. You need to understand, though, that men need a little encouragement sometimes.

What I like to do is rephrase things. I tell women all the time that if they are in a conversation with a “cool” guy, they need to rephrase what they’re talking about with him.

For example, let’s say you are talking to a guy about dogs and he tells you about his Labrador Retriever. You say “God, I love Labradors!” to which he says “cool.” Here’s where you can rephrase what he was saying back to him in a question to get the conversation back on track. So ask him “What made you get a Labrador?” This will get him talking again and off the “cool” track.

If you can get a “cool” guy talking again, he will start relaxing. He’ll realize you don’t bite and that you’re actually approachable.

So the next time a guy says “cool,” don’t take it as a sign he’s not interested in you. Take it instead as a clear sign that he IS interested in you, but you need to dial it back a bit and pull the coolness out of him.

Women tend to be better conversationalists than men. It’s just a fact of life that when you come across a “cool” guy, you are going to have to get him to stop using that one word phrase that always seems to kill a conversation. Remember that once you get the “cool” guy talking again, though, you will be back talking to a guy who will be VERY grateful you did.

Here’s what he asked: “so you’re talking to a woman, and she starts touching you a little bit, how do you touch her back? And when is it okay to start the touch?”

Here is how I feel about touch: it has to be a comfortable way of touching. I’m not very touchy-feely in the beginning when I meet someone – it’s just not who I am.

A lot of guys tend to think that you have to touch a woman to turn her on, but if I’m not comfortable yet, I’m not going to touch her.

Even if I don’t touch her, I’m still going to turn her on in other ways to let her know that I’m interested in her. This means not breaking eye contact, smiling a lot, and making my body language very strong and powerful – I will be facing her directly and possibly breaking the comfort zone and moving in a bit closer.

I’m just not that big of a toucher. A lot of guys think that they have to start touching her to get her turned on.

If a woman touches me, I’m going to touch her back immediately. If I’m walking with and talking to her, I might touch her shoulder as we’re walking, I might put my hand on the small of her back. I might touch her hair a little bit, just playing with it naturally.

If we’re out on a great and I’m driving, I might be talking (and I talk with my hands a lot) and then just rest my hand on her thigh. Just very casually.

But I don’t think about the best time to touch her. I touch her when I feel comfortable and okay with it.

The worst thing ever is when you touch somebody and it doesn’t feel right. It’s awful when you’re touching her just because you feel like you need to escalate with her and you think that it’s going to build attraction. It’s creepy. It feels forced.

What it comes down to is that you should touch a woman when you feel comfortable enough to do it, but before you do that, you should start bringing her in a little bit.

When I’m out on a date, I’ll lean forward. If she’s leaning into me, I’ll lean into her and I’ll put my hands on the table. I’ll put them on the midsection of the table. If she puts her hands right next to my hands, I might just start touching her fingers a little bit.

But I do this when I feel really comfortable, not when I’m “supposed to.” You don’t force touch.

In order to even want her to be touched you need to become memorable.

Most people make a common mistake in this situation. Instead of going directly to the dog – I’m not talking about lurching at the dog so it bites you – but instead of putting your hand out and going directly to the dog and talking to the dog and getting to know it, people will just make a passive comment about the dog in a monotone voice. “I like your dog.”

I’m a dog owner, and if somebody walks by me and says, “nice dog” in a monotone voice, I’ll respond to them in a monotone voice, “thank you.” And that’s it.

The proper way to meet me when I’m walking my dog (or meet anybody when they have a dog) is to go directly to the dog. As a dog owner, every person has to pass the dog test anyway!

I’m not dating anybody who doesn’t like Daphne, plain and simple. Daphne sleeps with me every night, and she hangs out with me all day long in the office. She even goes with me to appointments. If you don’t like six-year-old Black English Labradors that are sweet and loving, then I don’t really want you in my life!

So, when I’m walking down the street and someone stops me and says, “oh my god, your dog is so beautiful, can I pet her?” I will stop and I will let somebody pet her. Daphne is a pet slut! She loves to be pet no matter what.

If I can tell that someone is interested in my dog then I know that they are interested in meeting me – or maybe they just want to date my dog, who knows. That might be a great story: date my dog! I can see that TV show now.

But what I tell people all the time is that if you see someone who you are attracted to walking with a dog, stop them and say, “man, your dog is beautiful. What’s your dog’s name?”

The person will say, “my dog’s name is Daphne,” and you can say, “cool name. What made you name her Daphne?” Or you could ask, “what made you get a Lab?”

There’s always a story behind it. Whenever anybody asks me why I got Daphne, I look at them and ask, “do you really want to know?” and they say, “absolutely.” I’ll tell them the story about how I drove all over the state of Washington looking at English Labs – I must have driven 500 miles before I finally found Daphne.

Daphne was the last dog I saw that day. I was so tired from driving all day long that Daphne looked like a midget dog. I didn’t think Daphne was very pretty either, and she’s probably one of the most gorgeous dogs in the world. I was just so tired, and I had been to so many different breeders, that by the time I saw this little dog I didn’t even know what I wanted anymore.

But Daphne knew exactly what she wanted. The minute she saw me, she followed me everywhere. I took her out to the backyard and she followed me. When I stopped, she stopped. I walked inside and she followed. When I sat down to talk to the breeder, she sat down. There was no way that this dog was going to let me leave without taking her home.

Unfortunately I was so tired at the end of the day that I told the breeder that I would think about it. The breeder said that someone else was coming the next day at ten o’clock. (The breeder was quite a salesperson, by the way, because Daphne had been there for about seven months. Daphne had been loved by a couple, but then they got divorced and the guy couldn’t keep her anymore and gave her back to the breeder.)

So I went home, and all I thought about that night was this little dog – this little Lab following me around. She was exactly what I wanted. Allison told me that I had to get this dog, this dog loves me, she followed me and she picked me out. I really believe that dogs can pick you out, people can pick you out – it’s an energy thing.

So I couldn’t sleep at all, and I ended up waking up the next morning at seven. I looked at Allison and said I hadn’t slept at all, do you think it’s too early to call the breeder on a Sunday?

Allison reminded me that the breeder probably had to get up to feed the dogs, so I called her up. I asked her if I could come back down to her house.

I went back to her house, and Daphne greeted me immediately and followed me all over the house. And Daphne and I have been together ever since.

So I can share that story with people. If I meet a woman and she really wants to know that story, I will tell her that story with animation and passion.

Meeting with somebody with a dog is very simple, because they can talk about the things that they love. It also shows that someone is really interested in me – in a number of different ways. They are not only interested in meeting Daphne, but also in getting to know me.

So the proper way to meet someone with a dog is to ask questions! Get the person talking about what they love (their dog) and show interest. Play with the dog, pet the dog, and I see a good threesome coming: you, him or her, and the dog!

It’s that simple.
