Do dating classes/schools exist?
I'm in my late 20's never had a date before. Have almost no clue what to do. Even if I liked a girl and she had a mutual interest in me, I wouldn't know what to do to amuse her. So, are there any places that will teach me the art of dating?...Just to give me a foundation. I know I still need to do my own homework and practice. But, I just need some type of foundation to work from.
I used to be really bad in job interviews. But I took a class on job interviews, and I've been to hundreds of interviews. Now, I nail about 99% of my job interviews. So, I know practice makes perfect, but like I said, I still need a foundation first.

I think it should come natural. If you like a girl or she likes you and you ask her out there are tons of options. Find out what she likes, movies, skiing, hiking, swimming. Or what do you like? Ask her if she'd be interested in the things you like. Women, or the right ones anyway, don't mind going out and doing what the man likes to. It's a great way to make new hobbies too. My ex loved paintball, now I still have fun doing it sometimes. There's always the old stand by of a dinner and a movie. Or what about free events by you? Like free concerts at your local park, maybe take your pets for a walk together, even going to a book store or a walk by the water. There are so many things you can do. I just don't think dating should be learned in a class. It should come natural :)
You have a few years yet before you come into your own, around 22~24.
You can always date younger, the rule is half your age plus seven.
For now, focus on making money and saving it and improving your career.
Go listen to Tom Leykis and read all this points.
They are spot on. Sad but true.
Don't **** up your life like so many other men have for being stupid and unwise at your age.
Listen to the man.
IDK that there are any classes - but there should be! What a great idea! Then, all the students could practice on each other! Anyway, there are plenty of books out there that can give you some ideas on what to do and say.
For yourself, I would start making a list of fun activities you like, places to go, things to do... Roller skating in park, movies, bowling, swimming, going to beach, BBQ at park, museums, water parks, etc. Then when you meet someone, you have a list of places to start from where there is something fun/entertaining to do. Generally, the biggest ART to dating (any gender) is not for YOU to entertain them with YOURSELF, but to let THEM entertain you with themselves. That means letting them talk, asking them about their lives, interests, hobbies, work, etc. Then act/be really interested in who they are and what they do. Particularly women like to talk, (not necessarily about themselves), but she will think you are a good listener if you let her talk. (Im assuming youre a guy, b/c you mentioned 'girl/she/her'?) Aside from all that, often asking someone out to a meal is a good way to start a conversation. If you want to start something more casual/informal, try coffee/drinks first.
Women like compliments, but not insincere or cliche ones. Her eyes are nice is so cliche, no woman would believe it. Her plain white t-shirt does not warrant a 'nice blouse' comment. Above all else, make eye contact as much as possible, women (and people in general) see turning away or lack of eye contact as dishonest. Also, be HONEST, most women can smell a liar from a thousand yards away (and we always have them fine-tuned for men). Dont talk about yourself or exes too much, or in fact any subject too much. No one wants to listen to you blab about your controlling mother for 15 minutes. Lastly, despite what feminazis would have you believe, the VAST majority of women LOVE a man who seats them first, opens doors, pays for things, is deferential to her... also be polite, say please/thank you, love animals, dont get drunk, be CLEAN & NEAT, intelligent and FUNNY. And dont try to kiss her on the first date, let alone anything else. Not only will you strike out 99% of the time, 99% of women will think your incredibly disrespectful to even consider she is like that.
