How do you stay calm and collected while on a date so you don’t overwhelm the other person?
Don’t talk about your past relationships.
Don’t talk about what you hate about the other sex.
Don’t lie in order to impress the other person or pretend to be someone you are not.
Don’t make fun of the other person’s beliefs or opinions, even if you don’t agree.
Don’t get or show up drunk.
Don’t shout at the waiter because your order is wrong.
Don’t go to the movies.
Don’t go “hangout” at someone’s house.
Don’t use a text or a phone call as an excuse to leave. If you don’t want to be there, express it, and move along.
Don’t think “they are the one” just because you haven’t found anyone else to go on a date with.
Don’t be upset if someone uses 12 bullet points to answer this instead of 10.
You should always try to have fun. And if your date is not playful and take themselves too seriously, you don’t want to 2nd date them I assure you. When someone is over-serious that means they put all their energy and focus into playing a role, putting on a mask to impress you or please you. They put their persona and real Self aside, and that means they are either insecure pushover codep, or insecure manipulative narcissist. You don’t want to date any of those. You want to be someone who is fully present, interacting with someone fully present, getting over your own shyness, cause life’s too short.
