ANECDOTE

Great First Date That Actually Clicked

  • Joe described a surprisingly good first date with a quirky woman who matched his personality.
  • They connected over travel, Austin, and shared vulnerabilities which made the date feel effortless.
INSIGHT

Early Interest Triggers Insecurity, Not Reason

  • When someone shows strong early interest, insecure people often assume something is wrong.
  • That projection stems from fear of vulnerability, not from rational assessment of the situation.
ADVICE

Go To Dates To Discover, Not To Perform

  • Reframe dates as opportunities to discover what's fascinating about the other person.
  • Enter expecting to have fun and draw out interesting details instead of rehearsing judgments.
