Perry Noble's Advice to Single Guys

Comments

• Wow. I think his point was guys should ask out girls directly without playing games. That's fine by me, but I think I'd say it differntly :)

• I think he makes a good point -- guys need to take the initiative, but it usually isn't helpful when any person comes on that strong...it looks desperate.
  This might sound weird, but I think Christians need to know how to flirt. Guys need to take the initiative and not be afraid of rejection, but also give girls an "out" so they can still be friends and not be "weird." Flirting within bounds is normal and healthy, and the right way to start dating someone, not a marriage proposal. I haven't done this perfectly (far from it) but I think that people need to be enticed in such a way that communicates, "I'd like to spend more time with you, but if you're not interested, that's cool and I can move on."

• The message isn't too bad but the delivery is quite overbearing in my opinion. I think that all of the things he is saying are helpful when a man tries to get a date, but I think there are certainly other ways to go about it.

• He says some great stuff, which by the sound of it, is exactly what the "boys" in his congregation need to hear. I think people are too eager to jump into dating relationships in the first place, and seek intimacy for the wrong reasons. One issue at a time though, I guess.

  I imagine that a woman would only want a guy to be that headstrong about things if both individuals were looking for something much more serious than a friendship. Although, the middle ground he described (like the blog dedication, lol) is definitely a stupid place to be.
