Acing your first date
You’ve heard the classic line, “Just be yourself.” What an incredibly vague, unhelpful piece of advice. Plus, it’s hard to “just be yourself” when nerves get in the way. There’s a more practical way of getting your date to like you. All you need to do is get them excited.
There’s a psychological phrase called “misattribution of arousal,” which basically means that people will misassociate excitement with arousal. If you take your first date to an escape room, a theme park, or bungee jumping, there’s a higher chance that they’ll misinterpret their excitement of such activities with physical attraction. Sneaky, yes, but it’s super-effective.
