I recently, however, had to get on the phone with United Airlines. As I dialed United on the phone I kept saying to myself, “Please don’t let it be an outsource person.”

United Airlines unfortunately outsources, so all of their calls are re-routed to India or some other foreign country. Because of this, when someone gets on the phone with me they of course can barely speak English.

It took me 25 minutes to accomplish something that should have taken five minutes. I had to repeat myself ten times. I had to spell out things for them that I shouldn’t have had to spell.

This can’t be efficient. It really can’t be.

Yes, I know that United Airlines might be saving money by outsourcing. The frustration level it caused, however, was unbelievable and made me never want to fly United Airlines again.

The process I had to go through to get a ticket changed was ridiculous. It took me ten minutes just to get through the automated phone system and get to wait on hold for an agent. Getting a live agent was near to impossible.

I’m all for technology. I think technology is amazing. There are times, however, when you need to connect with a live human being — and one who speaks your language.

Look, I’m totally into the the fact that the world is becoming a global economy, and I believe in creating jobs for people. When you are calling customer service, though, you really want your language to be the first language of the customer service representative to whom you are talking. You really want to be able to communicate with them without having to repeat things and without having difficulty understanding every word they say.

How do you guys feel about this? As a business owner, I understand the benefit of outsourcing. How do you feel, though, when you call someplace and are put through a very complicated automated phone system and it’s nearly impossible to speak to the right person, and when you do get a live person they don’t speak your language very well?

How does that make you feel? Does it drive you as crazy as it drives me? I’d like to hear from you guys today about this. And how does this pertain to dating?

C’mon now that is so easy.

A great and funny conversation topic for your next date of course!

Though I personally think Apple is a great buy right now….it is at a 52 week low.

But this is not a stock trading site so lets get back to the issue at hand on the first Friday in October.

It’s all about paybacks and dividends.

If you’re home on a Friday or Saturday night, make a list of all of the cool people you’ve met over the course of a year – women that you’ve met at parties, women that you’ve met online, whatever it might be. Make that list.

And when you do that, write down something that you remember specifically about each person and why you liked them.

And then what you do is reconnect with them! Just because you didn’t go out with them or date them the first time doesn’t mean that you can’t reconnect the second time. And it doesn’t mean that they haven’t thought of you.

We’ve all done it. We’ve all gone through our lives and thought about our missed connections – cool people that we just didn’t connect with at the time because our mindset wasn’t in the right place.

When I’ve had relationships split up, I’ve met a lot of cool women but I just wasn’t ready for them. Now I can look back and I think to myself, huh, I wonder what happened to that person?

Instead of not doing anything about it and thinking that you blew it, just go and call or text her. Just say, “hey, how have you been? I was thinking about you. Let’s catch up.” That’s it.

You never know. If you throw ten of those out there, two of them might come back. The women might think to themselves, oh yeah, David – what a good guy!

You have to start thinking in terms of abundance. It’s okay to reapply. I really believe in reapplying.

In fact, I just reapplied a few weeks ago and it has been amazing!
