Dating

I remember when a guy I knew told me a story about how a girl he went on a few dates with basically turned into a screaming banshee when they were stuck in traffic; I mean basically cursing, screaming, giving the middle finger, etc. After that situation he never quite looked at her the same way again, after all it was only their second date. He didn’t really have much to go by as far as personality goes since he didn’t know her that well. She could have been having a bad day, but for all he knows she was a complete psycho.

If bad things happen on a date, take it in stride. Have a good attitude and watch how you act. Remember, if you just met this person, they don’t know all of who you are. The person is still going by how you act and learning about you day by day. If you go and act like a nut job in front of them by say, shrieking and throwing plates at the waiter that wrote your order down wrong, the person is going to run from you faster then the waiter will duck. If the other person sees you being calm, cool and collected, they’re going to think you’re a fabulous person who can handle themself well.

If you find yourself getting infuriated, take deep breaths. Remember that situations can be worse and you need to deal with it in a proper manner. Don’t just use these techniques during a date, use them in the rest of your life as well.
