Hey, this is Evan Marc Katz, the best dating coach for smart, strong, successful women and your personal trainer for love.

I coach an exclusive group of women who are serious about gaining confidence, setting boundaries, and making better relationship choices that lead to lasting love. 

So the story I'm about to tell you might as well be a microcosm of every baffling guy story ever. So pay really close attention. I'm going to tell you how to tell if a man is serious about dating during this coronavirus crisis. And really, it's not that hard to tell. 

So story. I got a buddy. He's one of my last remaining single friends. I love him to death. We'll call him Charlie. Charlie is 53. He's never married. He has what's known as an avoidant personality, which means he's a super guy, sweet, funny, successful, solid guy. He really wants intimacy, but he tends to be afraid of it when he gets too close. He tends to pull away. Those guys drive women crazy and he drives me crazy. He's my flakiness friend. I know if I make plans with him half the time, he's going to bail and reschedule. Factor in that he travels for a living and dating him has to be really tough. 

But the story really isn't about my friend or why you should or should not date him. This is a story about how easy it is to tell if a man is into you and is serious. So I'm on the phone. We're catching up on Zoom because that's what we do during these times. And he's telling me about his love life. He's asked me about my family. And he was explaining a phenomenon that I'm sure you've seen. 

There are guys who really want to date right now, and some of them are terrible and like they're still looking for dick pics and hookups and stuff like that. But there are some decent guys out there and they're discovering that it's difficult to sustain momentum at a time that we're locked down. 

And so he's telling me, "Yeah, I'm talking to women and I'm on Bumble.
