In Dating there is Nothing Like an Obstacle

In dating, there is nothing like an obstacle. All great romance writers know this and use the same plot. Couple meets. There is an obstacle. There you have your story, and the ending is predictable and thrilling.

LADIES, IF YOU'RE DATING, FLOAT LIKE A BUTTERFLY, AND NEVER STING LIKE A BEE.

Obstacles when you were a teen:

Father
Curfew
No car
School
Homework

Obstacles you can present as an independent adult

Say your house is being renovated so he can't come inside (for a long, long time)
Say you can't do it - can't cook, clean, drive, txt
Say you don't know how (to ask a guy out)
Don't be accessible - don't sit by the phone/email, even if you are. ESPECIALLY if you are
Overtime
Italian lessons 3 nights a week
Sister visiting from out-of-town for a week
Family reunion scheduled a year ago
Bad boss
Cramps, headache, N1H1

Why? Don't deprive him of the thrill of the hunt. I have been a dating coach for years. There is no man, no matter how busy/shy/far away/encumbered/hurt/damaged by ex-wife - you fill in the blank - who won't move heaven and earth to have the woman he wants. And here is nothing like an "obstacle" to sweeten the pot.

Please note: This is NOT game-playing. COURTSHIP is the game, and, like it or not, you will play it. If you play by its instinctual, hard-wired rules, the results will be amazing!

How so? I have a client, I'll call her Paula, who just got her man. She tells me he mentions all the time that when he reminisces about their early dating days, how hard it was to drive all the way out to her house ... which he did, over and over again. Paula told him she couldn't put the miles on her car because it was old. Whatever it takes.
