What is the 'fake reach' in the dating world?
The fake reach is when, at the end of a date, if you take a woman out to dinner, she makes a gesture towards her purse to pay for part of her meal, or the entire meal. The reason why I call it a fake reach is because women - ninety nine percent of the time, want the man to pay for the meal. It's important for the man to see that reach because otherwise the woman might come across as being a gold-digger. When a woman reaches to her purse the first time, she's really making a gesture to be polite about paying for half. Normally the gentleman will say, "That's okay I'll pay the check." When that happens, usually the woman will say, "Thank you very much," and at that point you'll know that you're doing pretty well on the date; if the woman insists or she goes back for another reach, which is the double fake reach, then you're really in trouble, because that's a clear sign that this woman is giving you that she's not interested in you. What I mean by that is: a woman basically feels that if the man pays for the meal, there's some sort of entitlement, whether it be a good night hug or goodnight kiss, or sex, depending on the situation. There's always that sense of, "Okay, if I let this guy pay for this meal, he's going to expect something in return." So if a woman insists on paying for half of the meal, it is a clear sign that she does not want to be with you, she just does not want to kiss you, she doesn't want anything further than this date.
