Here are some do's and don't for your next date:
Do get out of your own head and stop analysing every detail. If it helps to loosen you up, have a drink (just one). Pay attention to what you are feeling. Take deep breaths. Relax.
Do drop your professional persona. Laugh. Flirt. Tease a little. Wear something decidedly unbusinesslike. Change your tone of voice. Be playful.
Don't self-censure. Share most of your thoughts and ideas as they come up. Take a conversational risk or two. Don't steer the conversation. Instead, see where it takes you.
Don't over think every possible behavioral choice. Dating isn't chess. Go with your gut instinct and make a move.
Do something fun and laugh a lot. Take your date rollerblading, or to the beach to fly a kite. Go see some stand-up comedy. Act as though your date was an old friend-someone you can count on to enjoy a good time.
BE GENUINE
