This week's Q&A focuses on dating a woman living in another country and how to recover from screwing up the Cocky & Funny technique. David DeAngelo, author of Double Your Dating: What Every Man Should Know About How To Be Successful With Women, has your answers.
What suggestions do you have about dating a woman who lives on the other side of the country?
I've had dates with women who lived 2,500 miles away... no problem.

But most guys screw this up becoming weak and needy. They say things like, "I might be out your way soon for a conference. Do you think afterward you could meet me?"

Instead, say something like, "I'm going to be in the area on Sunday... so get me while the gettin' is good... and don't screw this up!"

Remember: YOU are the prize… and you're NOT looking for her approval.
What should I do if I'm trying to use your "Cocky & Funny" technique but I go too far and say something purely arrogant, but not funny?
This is a common mistake guys make when they first start learning Cocky & Funny… and it's an easy one to correct.

You have a few choices:

1- Say something AFTERWARD that's funny, that makes the original comment funny.

2- Say, "Oh, I'm just teasing" or give her a sly smile to let her know you were kidding.

3- Laugh at your own comment to signal that it was a joke, and not to be taken seriously.

Of course, you don't want to tell a woman that you're just teasing or laugh at your own comments TOO often because you'll look like a schmuck if you do.

The key to recovering is not letting the fact that you went overboard throw YOU off.

If she gets a little upset, just be cool and calm about the situation, and get back on track with more humor.

And don't worry about it.

You're learning a skill that will increase your success with women FOREVER, so it's OK to make a few mistakes here and there while you're learning.
