So we can extend grace to them and say, gosh, if they're showing up and falling into this job interview mode, we can just kind of quickly redirect the conversation and say, ah, I love that and I want to dig into that. But first I just need to tell you about this interesting movie that I saw yesterday and it reminded me of this because X, Y, or Z.

Absolutely. And I think just to expound on that a little bit, there's also the concept of the recency effect, which is what has happened most recently is going to shape how we view that experience. So you can have a really nice dinner and you finish it with a dessert and you're like, we finished this on a high note. And there's a very particular reason why that's how a typical meal goes.

And you look back and said, wow, what a great meal that was. You leave on a high, you have that little sugar rush. And so it's also thinking about how we can carry that through to the end of the date. And this is not saying, like, great, just be perfect the whole way through the date.

But it is saying there are ways that you can prepare, you can practice, you can run dry runs with your friends if you need to, but say, I'm going to come into this date, and if this isn't something that comes naturally to me, here's a way that I'm going to start things off, and here's a comfortable way that I'm going to end this. Hey, you know, I had a really nice time tonight.
