everyone else

pretty much said what I was going to.

the body language-approach is the easiest way for me. I just put myself

in a lady's proximity and see how she adjusts.
and I go with it accordingly.
but then my previous MA(martial

arts) training might have helped with the reading and adapting.

never tried any contact except for a end date

handshake or the kiss-the-hand flourish on the first few dates.

and strong confidence mixed with a bit of

humility and a 50/50 humorous/serious attitude works.

but from what you say.
you should be able to easily

initiate contact.

The whole dating deal

sucks to tell you the truth.
The more you try not to embarrass yourself on the first dates the worse you behave

by being to careful perhaps spill a glass of water or drop the food from the fork while you're trying to take a

bite of food! things you normally woudn't do if you aren't nervous and just relaxed..

I did and still

do agree with that statement. I used to try to please everyone but myself. Got a real dose of reality a couple of

years ago.

Now I have a devil-may-care attitude(not to the point of being a snot). And for about 65% of the

ladies I meet at work or elswhere its attractive.
Being yourself(unless you are charles manson) works wonders.
