Yeah. Well, I certainly have an anecdote of what not to do. So maybe we can learn... Okay, that's good too.

And the protagonist of this one happens to be me. So... I was in the midst of this dating journey that I had kind of alluded to earlier in the conversation where I had set a certain goal or what I had called the date number, a number of dates that I was targeting to go on.

It would just sort of normalize the fact that like, yeah, it makes sense that you might need to go on 10, 20 dates and bruise your knees a little bit before you find the person who you can really hit your stride with. And to that end, and yes, I was a researcher, and so I was into collecting data, and this would have been more qualitative data of,

You know, go up, have a conversation with someone, write down what went well, what didn't go well. Was I, you know, looking at my feet? And did I not come across super confidently? Did I feel really nervous? And so, you know, I rushed what it was that I was saying to this person.

And there was one time pretty early on in the journey where I had seen this woman on the street and went up and told her that I thought she had a nice energy and was interested if she would be up for grabbing a coffee.

and she holds up just this giant, oversized, almost like cartoon wedding ring in my face, and was like, ah, and has kind of like thick Eastern European accent, which I think just kind of added to the whole experience, and was like, oh, you know, like I'm married, and I was just thinking, gosh, like, Right, like I'm at that age where I need to start looking for wedding rings here.
