Awzum Feedback From a Reader

Thanks Dan. Your advice is priceless and I hope to get more like this in Comments and to 7dates7days@gmail.com from other people with insight as good as yours.

Now, to address what’s happening: this is a reality blog. Not ‘Reality’ in the sense of The Bachelor, Real World, or Singled Out. Rather than taking the approach of having some over the top entertaining Alpha (i.e., Bro-Clown) male write, Rich is your average empathetic guy (not average in a negative sense). We’ll see what happens by the 7th date, but you can tell that Rich, just like me during my first dates (scroll back), finds it difficult to criticize at this time. Not to speak for Rich, but opening up for an audience (we have 300 readers now) is tough. This is intimate stuff.

When going on 7d7d dates, its amazing to find that you open up to girls, and them to you. What starts off as awkward hesitancy at the beginning of the date turns into a relationship with potential by the end. The last thing any decent human being would want to do is reject someone who just opened up to them, or break bridges with a good looking and intelligent girl.

Even so, I would not be terribly surprised if 7d7d Round 2 evolves into something more diary-like; more open and deep. And not because I’m twisting Rich’s arm. This is his show. But because I found myself very confused on how to write about the first couple of dates, with so little experience at this and knowing so little about the girls ahead. We will see what changes.

Or maybe for the next round I’ll just get some nasty son of a bitch bro-clown.

Thank you very much, Dan, and I hope to receive more messages like yours.
