Definately wasn’t taught how to date. I think it’s one of those situations that are uncomfortable for parents. Usually the mom tells you to find someone nice and the dad kind of encourages you on like one of the fellas. So it’s up to your friends and they don’t know either so they do what they think they are suppose to do, which is be a “player/pimp”.
Society idolizes the ladies man so it’s not hard to see why men try to be like that. Ex: Casanova, James Bond (shaken, not stirred lol- with a chick every second), Bill Bellamy(How to be a player)- the list goes on.
I think dating is one of them things that seem to be done by the seat of your pants- meaning you learn as you go.
Some people are intuitive and make it work and others have no idea how to do it and end up in bad situations. Funny enough that’s how you learn is through your personal experience – for if you didn’t have that you probable wouldn’t know what to want.
