Dating: Shy Guys Learn How to Get Over Approach Anxiety

What's a cool sophisticated, talented, good looking guy like Mark Shepard doing reviewing a home study about dating for men?

I'll tell you. First of all, there was a time when the mere thought of even saying "hi" to an attractive woman would cause my palms to sweat and my brain to literally stop working.

I discovered NLP about the same time that I discovered Ron Louis' and David Copelands first book "How to Succeed with Women."

Ron and David are two kind of geeky, nerdy guys from Wisconsin who decided to do something about the fact that they were single, lonely and had no clue how to get a date on a Saturday night.

"How To Succeed With Women", is basically all about creating connection with women. "The Advanced Bad Boy Training Course" is all about how to mix connection with strategic disconnection in order to create more interest, fun, and open ended conversation with the kinds of women who basically have heard all the boring nervous bonehead pickup lines in the book.

So to keep this short, three things happened as I worked my way through this 14 or 15 dvd set (plus a whole bunch of excellent bonuses:

1. I laughed my ass off! Ron and David know their stuff. Ron Louis is one very, very funny guy. He is as entertaining and intriguing a conversationalist as you will ever find. David Copeland is a little more laid back but really walks his talk. They both are exceptional teachers and tmodelled this material well.

2. I immediately was able to make my own dating experience a lot more fun. I started feeling comfortable teasing women in a way that I had only watched other more confident men do from a distance.

3. Compulsive songwriter that I am, I wrote a new song from the point of view of the "hard to get man". You can hear the song on my blog: http://www.markshepardsongs.com

anyway, here are the lyrics:

Boredom
10/19/08 | Song #384

How many guys tonight will
Buy you drinks and tell you
Just how hot you are
But you know what they want to sell you

Excruciating Boredom

I'm not one of the puppies
I don't care if you like me
Do not need your approval
Raise your bitch shield just to spite me
It just excites me

Stop looking in the mirror
Peek outside your bubble
Buy me a beer and I will
Let you come a little nearer
Unless of course you are too boring

Refrain:
I'm here to rescue you from boredom
I'm here to tease you into freedom
Explore the edge of all your limits
You know you want it. Now admit it

You tell yourself you want somebody
Who will treat you like a lady
But what would it be like to be
With someone who took you much less seriously?
And rescued you from boredom

Who knows just how you're wired
Who knows what buttons move you
Who knows just how to lead you
Where you want to go
Escape with me from boredom

Refrain:

You can always go suburban
Get yourself a nice safe husband
Give birth to 2 nice children
It's a story with a happy end
Excruciating Boredom

I'm not the guy who you would
Take home to your family
But when you're in your eighties
You will remember me

And how I rescued you from boredom
