“The mission of a first date is to hear this man out in order to see where he’s coming from with his sales pitch. Is he trying hard to impress you, or is he half-assing because he thinks he has already won? Is he trying too hard to seem perfect, or is he being a real dude who can poke fun at himself? The best way to complete this mission is to look him in the eye with your bullshit filter set to high.”
