Taking a break from the very serious business of the dating challenges single men and women have to face up to every day, I was pleasantly surprised to see this gem of a course put together by none other than our very own Rowan Atkinson.
Also known as Mr. Bean, in this clip, Mr. Atkinson through the process of Elementary Dating, the do’s and the don’ts of any dating gentleman…
… gives a hand’s on approach to the whole problem, pointing out what you can, should and most definitely should not be doing on your next date.
Perhaps not in the same scope as Double Your Dating in terms of uselessness, this course will nevertheless provide useful information that most men really need.
Or maybe not.
The added bonus of course is that once you have successfully wooed your lady, the two of you can then come home and have a giggle or two, watching Mr. Atkinson spill the beans on dating protocols.
Very entertaining! Your research pain off when you found this clip. Looking forward to part 2. The advice given really does work for most first dates and the idea for the course was brilliant as I’m sure it soothed many a first date jitters.
Great work!

Pretty funny stuff, I never saw any bits from Mr Bean on dating. Oh how ones actions and reactions can be received by others.
His show back in the late 90′s was hilarious although sadly I don’t think it lasted that long.

The problem with the sporting injury excuse is when you get to the seduction part!

Far from being a comedian, he really got good points about dating. Great video. Thanks for sharing.

Mr. Bean looks really like an idiot if you first see his shows but before you know it, you’re hooked! Rowan is such a good actor and he never failed to make me laugh. Nice vid!

He does look funny. Some of his shows as Mr. Bean were absolutely hilarious. I was looking for material on dating and when I found this video I had to share it here.

Hilarious video! Mr Atkinson certainly does “spill the beans on dating protocols”. Though I’m not so sure what was more fun, the do’s or the don’ts of the process of elementary dating. Fascinating that you found Mr. Bean to give us this dating hand’s on approach to point out the should’s and shouldn’ts.

This was entertaining and made it a fun way to break the ice. This was wildly good sense to really think of that first date with humor. This will help keep one not so nervous.
Get way of looking at how funny we can be just in the courting stage.
Had me laughing all the time. Get choice and sharing. I look forward in my next visit. Very well done!

I was always fascinated with Rowan Atkinson. Basic dating do’s and dont’s should never be ignored. They still work despite the existence of more advanced dating strategies.

Mr. Bean and dating not a combination I thought I would see but when you have an Astor Martin anything is possible. Very enlightening Stevie thanks for the advice.

Oh Mr. Bean is such a funny guy. Been watching his how since I was a kid. He is so entertaining. And regarding the do’s and don’ts of dating, we really have to remember about it.
It still works, I know.
