230. Your First Date Pep Talk + Flirting Tips

Let's get ready for a first date! I'm sharing a pep talk for your next first date, plus my best quick tips for flirting, so you can actually create a romantic connection instead of just a friendly one. I'm covering how to lower the stakes and stop putting so much pressure on yourself, what your real mission is on a first date, and what to do if you're nervous. Then I get into the basics of flirting and more advanced moves. At the end, I tackle a dating dilemma from a woman who matched with a guy on Bumble, lost him when she reset her profile, and now he's popped up on Instagram. Should she slide into his DMs?
