What do you want from your life? Who do you want to be in ten years? What are your strengths and your flaws? You have to know the answers to these questions. When you do, you will be able to say to your date, “I am a regular, flawed person. I’m not here to close the deal at all costs. If there’s something that feels wrong, that’s okay. That tells us we’re not a match.” Easy come, easy go. Letting the wrong ones show their true stripes is just as important as letting the right ones show their true strengths.
