[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It kills me. Invariably, I bomb on first dates with the people I'm most eager to make a good impression on. The date starts, I'm immediately smitten, and I just bring too much energy. An aura of "have to hit a home run" envelops over me and takes what is typically a witty, charming, and slightly sarcastic sense of humor and turns me into an intense overly-talkative salesman/resume pitcher. Of course the opposite is true when she walks in the door and I'm "meh" about it. In those cases, I'm immediately at ease knowing I have zero interest and I hit it out of the park with my normal laid back persona.

It sucks! I leave the dates I want to continue to get to know realizing that I've exhausted them and there likely won't be a second date. I know they say practice makes perfect, but I'm pretty experienced and still can't seem to get into the right state of mind when I really want to make a good impression. It's basically feeling extra pressure to perform since only 1/20 candidates might fit the "super excited" mold. [/quote]

I have just started dating after a long term marriage.  I have met some really great guys.  What turns me off immediately is when the guy starts talking about money, what he has bought, etc.  basically selling himself.

Don't do this.  The only thing I want to know is that you have a job that you can support yourself so you don't want me to rob a convenience store for you.[/quote]
