“A lot of people seem jaded, negative and expect too much out of dating. Go out there, have fun with it and don’t set any expectations. If you do, it’s easy to get disappointed and frustrated. You’ve got to be confident, that’s the most important thing. Showing insecurities is a major turn off for guys.” - Steve
