have a nice time, relax, enjoy just "being" together. something that has worked for me (may seem silly to you) is to tell myself to aim for a "6" night. Don't freak out and make it a 1 or 2, and don't EXPECT a "10" night. Realize that 10 nights take time, and not every night can be a 10 night. This seems to take some of the pressure off of myself.
Hmmm...what to occupy my mind with when I start to get antsy? Well, I will be cooking-that will occupy my mind. (Did I mention I have a goal to try a new recipe once a week?) Haven't figured out tonight's yet. I can always break away to take a shower if antsy...seems to calm me sometimes...stoke the fire! Ask h more questions about him, his life, biking, truck, whatever...
Be sincere and pleasant, make convo.
**Focus on Quality Time as this is what H seems to like. The din. will be an act of service.
