In this episode of Coach Corey Wayne's podcast, the host dives into the realities of modern dating, emphasizing the importance of clarity and confidence in creating successful dates. He explains that a 'definite date'—with a specific day, time, and place—is essential to avoid ambiguity and wasted effort. The episode critiques common mistakes like accepting 'maybe' responses, failing to set clear intentions, and over-relying on digital communication. Corey uses real-life examples, such as a man who fumbled a connection after meeting a woman at salsa classes, to illustrate how hesitation and lack of structure lead to ghosting and missed opportunities. He also discusses the dynamics of emotional vulnerability, warning against turning a partner into a therapist, and highlights the significance of physical touch and shared experiences in building attraction. The episode concludes with advice on balancing confidence with humility, avoiding toxic people, and developing emotional resilience by not internalizing others' negativity.
Always set a definite date with a specific time, day, and place to increase the likelihood of it happening.
Avoid accepting 'maybe' responses—use them as a signal to disengage and not pursue further.
Use low-pressure first dates (like a wine bar) to verify appearance and chemistry before moving to more intimate settings.
Physical touch during shared activities (e.g., Topgolf, mini-golf) helps break emotional barriers naturally.
Don’t dump your emotional or financial stress on your partner—share it only with trusted friends or a therapist.

The Power of Definite Dates
“If she's still reaching out, I would just say the next time she reaches out to you, say, hey, how about 7 p.m. Saturday? And if she goes, oh, I don't know. I'm not sure. I'm not sure my schedule. Then say, well, if you're not sure. If you can make the date Saturday, why don't we just do it another time when your schedule's a little more open?”
Real-Life Example: The Fumbled Connection
“She took 36 hours to reply. So it was like a Thursday he messaged her so she doesn't reply till like Saturday morning and then just basically says, oh, it's been a crazy week. You know, I'll just meet you there maybe.”
Emotional Boundaries & Confidence in Dating
“All you're going to do is dry her up. They're not set up to handle it. If she knows you're going through tough times, you say, oh babe, I'll figure it out. I always do. That's all she needs to know.”
