Q: Glad to see you're back!

I think I just agreed to go on a blind date with my brother's girlfriend's friend. Normally, I get along with people and surprisingly, most people like me. I'm usually quiet at first and I find that I listen and figure people out (what to talk about, how not to offend them, etc.).

Anyway, the greeting/first impression tends to be where I can shoot myself in the foot with the ladies. My mouth turns into a mushy race car headed straight for a wall. Interviews, presentations, and speeches seem to be cake compared to the opposite sex. Any advice?

A: Think James Bond. We like a confident guy coming to our door so you need to buck up! I know that’s not a great answer, but you need to remember that we’re all nervous on the first date. Pretend you’ve met her before. Pretend you’re superman. Remember that it’s a quick half hug and a “hey, how ya doing?” and you can then move on from the awkward beginnings.

Hope that helps.
Bond, James Bond.
