Question
I am sick of messing up, while learning on my own what men like and what they don't. They constantly clash with my ideals (He wants me to be carefree but I'm all around passionate ect..)
I know lots of dating rules. If I don't like a guy he wants to marry me lol, but if I want someone I stop being so cool. A different coach said wait 24 hours after they contact me to reply to stabilize my responses, and do not let him take me on non-dates, great advice.. but now,
A new man messaged me on a dating site. For the first time in ages as soon as I looked at him I though "I want"..
So all the dating rules are a jumble in my mind and I feel like a dear caught in the headlights. His message was simply
"Medium size Scorpio is here, as ordered! Just stopping in to say Hi" ...My profile says I like Scorpios, he read it, nice. He is acting casual but Scorpios are anything but and I am not either.. only I have more trouble acting.
I am 28, female.. Live alone. And I was wondering if you can help me. I just keep reading the one line not knowing how to respond. I like his profile and now I'm stunned lol.. What do I do?? What do I say ahhh
p.s. Are dating coaches free? I didn't write the other expert again because I don't know how it works and I do not want to feel a pest. I guess the right coach for me would make me feel welcomed anyway.

Answer
you don't need a dating coach, except perhaps for occasional guidance; it's not supposed to be spoonfed to you and then you act robotically; trust your natural instincts, perceptions, judgments, learn from mistakes--now if u have some specific questions, ask away..give me a break...whatever the "specific" question was, i couldn't find it, then i even encouraged you to ask more; what i SHOULD have suggested is to consider counseling, as it appears you can't even trust your ability to interact...totally unfair rating..
