Not that I could afford it right now, but I'm thinking this may be the only viable option if I ever want to learn how to meet and interact with women. I'm basically at square one. I don't know where to go to meet women, what to talk about, how to style myself. I don't have any friends so I don't go out much. What's there to do out by yourself? If I had a coach, I would have a reason to go out and do something other than watch TV.

Goal one should be to get friends. This can help in many ways.

start with the clothes i reckon, it will get people's attention. you might make the wrong kind of friends to start with, but hey you can always 'shortlist' the decent ones once you've sussed them all out. If you're literally not sure how to style yourself then google celebrities that look loosely similar to you and observe what they wear.
If this fails at least you're left with a nice new wardrobe and decent aftershave. Stage 2: do social groups, voluntary work etc. As for how to interact with women; the same way as you'd interact with men I presume. or is this where i've been going wrong...?

Well, there is the whole self-improvement thing that covers a lot of ground. Then there's the social circle aspect, and improving social skills over time (which comes with further social interaction). I guess you need to pick an avenue or avenues that you are going to use to meet a woman, and keep going until you hit roadblocks, then re adjust your plans and proceed. These are all time permitting, and based on the resources you have. IE, I work so much that time is a big issue for me.

A dating coach could help, but I know they are going to suggest all the above first. Maybe they could help more in the skills you need to have success on the date? Not sure. If you have the money though, why not? It can't hurt.

I never heard of a dating coach. I'm not sure how much they cost but I think it would be better to spend the money on a mail-order bride or using the money to go to a more conservative traditional country instead. You could still potentially run into lots of problems 1ce the relationship gets serious that the dating coach cant prepare you for & a typical woman might bail as soon as they come up
