There’s an old Henry Ford quote that goes, “Whether you believe you can do a thing or not, you are right.” Here’s my version: Whether you believe the date will go well or poorly, you are right. You’re self-sabotaging if your pre-date mantra sounds something like: “Obviously, this isn’t going to work. It hasn’t worked the last hundred dates.” You have negative-mindset blinders on! You’re adopting the mindset of an “unlucky” who misses life’s clues—in this case, the signs of a potential match.
