First-date agony
September 27th 2010 00:58
Do you agonise over a first date? Which one of the following describes you most:
It's impossible not to agonise over a first date. You get just one chance to impress. What if you blow it!
There is no need to be nervous about a first date. You just act yourself, hope the other person does the same, and see if there's an attraction.
Remind me again - what's a date?
If you chose number one, you're under 40. If you chose number two, you're middle-aged. If you chose number three, you've long ago worked out that agonising over anything is a waste of energy.
Our little poll is in response to a recent media feature story quoting a big poll about first dates. The responses were all about agony and self-doubt and fear and double-guessing. That a first date must be nerve-wracking was taken for granted and no contrary possibility was so much as hinted at.
Of course, the survey was of 20- and 30-somethings, and the publication was aimed at that demographic.
We would like to break some news to those age groups: be yourself and treat a first date as a first step. If you keep your eye on the start line and stop worrying about the finish line, you'll have things in perspective.
You might even relax and enjoy yourself.
