yeah that last line was a bit of a misstep, I hate to sound trite but you should really be doing your best to give off a "cocky & funny" kind of attitude, even if you aren't like that naturally. You're awesome, she should consider herself lucky to have a chance to be with you. Never forget that. And act accordingly.

"Just be yourself" might be the worst ever advice given. I know it sounds disingenuous but it's true. You need to be a better version of yourself when dating. That's where confidence comes in. Sure, you probably lack it in this area, but it's good practice in life regardless.

Penney, nobody in the world, neither you or I, are able to be anybody but ourselves. If you find one day that you have something in you that you didn't know about befor, it doesn't mean you're not yourself all the sudden.

I agree, of course. I just meant specifically that you should downplay your known faults. Say you have a tendency to talk about yourself and ignore things about others in conversation. This is something to avoid, obviously. Or what if you lack a social filter and sometimes make crude comments accidentally. Again, another thing not to do on a first date. I really didn't mean it to come off any different than that.

Confidence is important too, ldo, but much easier said than done, speaking from experience
