My friend M sent me a link to this article from MSN dating and personals about the "Chemistry-and-Run."
"I've been a victim," she said.
The Chemistry-and-Run, for the uninitiated, is when you meet someone, you totally seem to make a connection, and yet, at the end of the night, there's no follow-through. No date, no nothing.
So what do you do? According to Denver-based dating coach Jennifer Oikle, you use tactics to cajole the guy into knowing your interested and therefore encourage him to ask you out.
The reasons for the Chemistry-and-Run are pretty reasonable, but I have a quibble with the solution. Instead of throwing compliments to show that you're interested or dropping hints about where he can take you out, why not just ask him out yourself?
I missed the original Sadie Hawkins Day (Nov. 10), so let's just go ahead and make the next day you meet a promising person Sadie Hawkins Day. Think of it as a floating holiday.

"Dating is about asserting his masculinity"? Ick.

Guys don't always get the hints, especially the guys that aren't overly cocky, the type that most women REALLY want long-term. Of course women want the confident guy, but whenever they meet him out and about they think he is a d***. So, yeah, you are right, Maryann, if a woman is interested, don't just drop hints... be direct! A mature man won't be threatened.
