right and so is there anything not even just in like how you talk with someone but how you kind of present yourself body language wise that you feel like is kind of helpful and kind of building that for yourself yeah take up some space sit up straight these are very probably pretty basic things yeah i'm not i'm not inventing the wheel right now no but

Yeah. I guess probably where some of the challenges is coming from for me there is maybe it is the nerves come to think of it as I'm thinking is when you're talking about just kind of being more authentic and just being able to speak about what you like and kind of carrying your voice and things like that.

I think thinking back on some of the other dates, probably nerves maybe got in the way a little bit of just kind of just being authentic and being not, not like What's the word I'm looking for here? There's like kind of a barrier between me being comfortable on the date. And so it's I feel like that might be part of the problem there.

Because even when I'm thinking about the one friend that I was mentioning, like when we're talking and like he's asking you a question, he seems genuinely interested in what you have to say. Yes.

Awesome. Yeah, that's really good to know too, because I think it's just something I think I do get very much in my head sometimes, especially with like a first date of like, okay, what do I say next? And what's something that I can do to make her laugh? And I feel like that takes away from me being my genuine self and actually is counterintuitive to what I'm trying to do essentially.
