I guess it depends on how he's defining "overly interested in his date". Personally, if I'm on a date with a guy and he's not showing interest in me, I take it that he is, in fact, not interested, and we don't go out again. Seems to me that his advice is more akin to shooting oneself in the foot...but that's just my opinion.

Well, I just thought is was ironic that my friend was giving me advice on women - when he, himself, spends his weekends alone. I, at least, choose to do so.

I agree.

Well, I think it's important not to show TOO MUCH interest in your date, otherwise you come across like a fawning groupie. Of course, like you said, he is single after all. :-)
