When people say "don't make the date an interview"

>>18531002
1) Don't overdress
2) Act natural
3) when talking don't just drone on about the same thing the whole time
4) smile, laugh act happy, don't make it anything too serious or you'll scare her off

Ask a question and branch a conversation off of that. Dont shoot out questions one after another.

>>18531002
dont just ask questions one by one so it looks forced
make the conversation flow

>>18531002
don't forget the "firm handshake"

OK I'm pretty convinced at this point that all dating advice is really just saying "be a normal fucking person". I appreciate it!

don't make it a long you-ask-she-awnsers conversation, tell about yourself and talk about stuff in general, try to let the conversation flow, example
>so anon are into sports
>no but i used to do karate since i was 6 but stopped when school became too much
>why because you liked the karate-kid
>almoast, it acctualy was because of sandy in spongebob
>wait realy
good reply:
>yea it's funny how media influences our lives,you know i used to know a friend that became a quite succesfull engeneer thanks to watching macgyver
conversation trails off to a kindoff deep and witty discussion about the influence media has over us

bad reply
>yea realy

Gotcha so always take it deeper, that's good.

I happen to hate answering questions about myself and it's not just because of embarrassment, while it is a factor, I like to reveal things about myself to people slowly after I begin to trust them. Some people love to talk about themselves and will open up right away though, it depends on who you're on the date with.

learn to use self-deprecating humor as a defence mechanism
take it from somone who had the same problem if you phrase these things humorously you'll gain 5 charisma and a lot confidence
