Has Dating Really Come To This?

Dating.  What can you say, other than it sucks.  Seriously.  People get married so they can stop dating.  Truth.

I got a friend request yesterday from someone in a baseball fb group I’m in.  I didn’t think much of it, because that happens from time to time, and I usually enjoy talking to these new friends.  This time….. I’m not so sure.

I shared a memory in that group Tuesday morning, as it was apparently the 1 yr anniversary of a terrible date that happened to come with AMAZING seats at a baseball game (more on this later).  We had recently talked about a baseball-focused singles/dating app, which I mentioned in my post… saying something like someone needed to make that so I don’t have any repeats of this date.

New “friend”:  Hey Erika!  I’m a relationship coach and looking for new clients for testimonials.  Are you interested???

Me:  um.  What’s a relationship coach? [editor’s note:  don’t ask this question.]

NF:  if you think about a physical trainer, it works much the same way.  You get a better workout with a trainer and better results.  With a relationship coach, specifically how I have been trained, we focus on using your feminine and masculine energy to build better relationships and draw a man closer.

Me:  yeahhhh I’m not entirely sure what all that means.

NF:  a coach helps you have a better relationship with a man or anyone.  Especially helpful if you are dating around.  Do you feel like you’re creating the relationships you want with a man?

Well, I’m single, so no.

BUT

Seriously?  This is a thing?  Dating in today’s world is so unbelievably awful, people need “dating coaches”?!  And these people are trained?!  I have so many questions, but I’m not sure I want any of the answers.  If this is really what the dating world has come to, I might just have to tap out.
