jakelongot Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 Everybody has their own strategy to stay cool, keep calm or give you confidence on a date. For me, it is bringing a date into a territory you are familiar with and going to a place where you will know a person or two. I like being able to be on home turf to settle my nerves. My ex told me that she used to wear lingerie or sexy underwear to give her confidence in a situation where she might be uncomfortable. What are some things that you do on dates to give you that extra confidence?
sillyanswer Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 1) remembering that she's just a person, too. 2) remembering that it's a first date for her, too. 2
Skyraider829 Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 What gives me extra confidence is: I don't think anything of the date until I see something that gives me reason to think something significant about it. I'll go in happy, confident, and talkative but not in some "expectation mood" hoping to hear her say something incredible. I prefer to avoid the wishful thinking. I remain optimistic but I don't assume anything if there is nothing to base my assumption off of.
MrCastle Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 I just go with the flow... that and I am kind of arogant / egotistical person and know that I am a great catch and that they'd be hard pressed to find someone better (at least I pump myself up with this info).[/Quote] This. Except I don't just tell myself this before a date to pump myself up. It's something I believe about myself. Also, I'm always taking the attitude that there is always a 50/50 chance and it is just a numbers game... you win some, you lose some. And in this instance, for me it's "you win some, they lose some." I honestly do feel a bit sorry for women who can't see what I see Their loss, not mine 2
MrCastle Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 To answer the question a bit more, dressing sharp always does it for me. If I know I have a date coming up, I'll get a haircut the day before, or that day, save my best outfit for that day, shave on that day so my skin is smooth and not prickly. Always makes me feel more confident as I imagine it would anyone.
ThaWholigan Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 I find enjoyment in company, so being around people nowadays tends to give me the adrenalin needed to be confident.
