People are interesting. For most of my life, I wasn't a "people person." I discovered that when I decided to just be myself and let others be themselves, there's a lot of fun to be had and some really cool exchanges of ideas, experiences, etc. I can laugh at myself and have fun at my own expense, too, and that helps a lot. I truly enjoy bringing a smile to someone's face. What does it really cost? Nothing. So on a date, I start off relaxed and just stay that way. Why worry? What she thinks of me is under her control, not mine.
