Complimenting girls he fancied did not seem to work for project engineer Ganaesh Kumaresan.

Once, after meeting a girl for the first time, the 22-year-old praised her lovely smile, then her dress. Her rebuff left him scratching his head in bewilderment.

He decided it was time to go back to school - to Aura Dating Academy, which claims to be the first such school in Singapore.

Unlike other schools, this academy has no fixed location for its classes. It uses small rented lecture rooms in offering a year-long course to train men in the art of dating and getting into a relationship.
