College Humor helps bridge the gap between dating and just hooking up.
While "dating coach" is a relatively new appellation (not to mention occupation), the concept has been around since forever. From Cyrano's aid to Christian in Cyrano de Bergerac to Steve Martin's helpful hints to Rick Rossovich in Roxanne to Uma setting straight a clueless Janine Garofalo in The Truth About Cats And Dogs, romance guides (not marital aids) have been getting people together since year zero. It's probably why God invented older siblings.

Neil Strauss, author of The Rules of the Game, is teaming up with MySpace to teach dudes how to pick up chicks. Strauss is the guy that has blown the lid off of The Game. And by The Game, we don’t mean the West Coast rapper that once feuded with 50 Cent. We mean the elusive world of pickup artists.
