Here is something I would like for you to do before you go out on your next date. It's a David DeAngelo method to center yourself mentally. It really works. You'll have to read this first but here's the way it works.
Close your eyes for a moment. Breath in through your nose and out your mouth. As you do imagine blowing tension right out. Inhale calmness, relaxation, and peace. Exhale tension, anxiety, and anticipation.
I want you to detatch from your past. Image cutting a cord or something. All the things you've done, right or wrong. Just let it go, it doesn't exist. The cord is cut.
Now I want you to detach from your future. Let go of all your expectations, all the things you want to have happen, all the things you are commited to just let it go.
And now detach from the present. Detach from what you think you're here for, what you're trying to do, and you anxiety. Make your outcome unimportant. Just forget it, just relax, and be here for a moment.
Finally, release your identity from yourself. Just let go of your self image for a minute. Now notice how you feel.
When you do this it helps get you in a mental, and emotional state where you can think more clearly. I think you know what to do. I personally think that when you are out with this HB, your mind is running at 90 mph, and you think too much about every little thing. I've been there! This exercise with help calm you down. When you get use to it takes seconds to do. I do it in the field before approaching at times.
