TLDR: start your game BEFORE your date arrives. Be charming to everyone at the cafe/restaurant/bar and you will look like a total fucking confident winner

So…Had a coffee date today. I got there like 15 minutes early, and while standing around I interacted with a few of the other patrons. Like said hi to someone’s baby, complimented someone else, made conversation.

When date walked in, I was mid-conversation with someone who was smiling because I just complimented her, and when we were ordering I said hi to the baby/parents from earlier and they were all ☺️☺️

It made me look really lovable and gregarious person and only took like 10 minutes. Got a second date.
