Quick Tips: Keep it Light

06.01.07 | Posted by Fox

Quick Tips are simple things that you can do to increase your chance of a successful date. Fuck these up at your own peril. . .

Levity
What’s with all the Billy Bob Thorton Movies?

What made you think that your date wants to know about your deepest thoughts? Was it something on TV? Maybe a romantic comedy you saw that made it appear as though relationships are built on a deep spiritual need? Well, whoever it was is wrong.

You’ll get to the deep part of a relationship much sooner than you ever wanted, so the tip today is really that you should stave off entering that phase for as long as possible. One of the ways you do that is by not talking so much about yourself and your long and complicated life that has whittled you into the fine driftwood you are today.

Levity is key, at least at first. Dating should not be like therapy. If you are depressed, confused, or generally lost, seek treatment, not a date.
