Q. Even though I can get dates, none of them seem to go anywhere. Maybe I’m too nervous, but girls don’t want to go out with me the second time.
All advice is wishy-washy and comes down to this: Be yourself, and everything will be fine. Which sounds great, unless you happen to be a nervous dweeb who seizes up at the thought of dating above your social caste, or at dating in general. In that case being yourself is not necessarily to your advantage, harsh as that may seem. But despair not. There are ways to allow your true self to come through. Take this quiz.
l You get a number. How soon do you call?
a) Immediately to confirm it is indeed a working number.
b) Never, because anyone who gives you her number is not worth dating anyway.
c) Thirty-six hours later.
l First-date venue?
a) A white linen, candlelit French-inspired restaurant.
b) Some place where she has a gift card.
c) A local coffee shop, with reservations at the bar and grill down the street.
l Post-date talk?
a) Thirty minutes later: “Like to spend the weekend with me at my ski cabin? Hello?
b) Text: “Sry abt the spilled coffee. Did it blister?”
c) E-mail 24 hours later: “That was fun — we should do it again. How about this Saturday?”
The answers, of course, are all ‘C’. Don’t be too serious! Oh, and, just be yourself!
