- read the validation cheat sheet. Several times. Use it. Liberally.
- let her talk. STFU as much as you can. Validate.
- if it comes up, state that you don't want to D. Then don't bring it up again.
- dress one level up. New shirt or shoes if possible.
- no physical contact unless she initiates.
- don't try to hang on at the end of the meeting. Go to leave first. Don't say clearly why.
Anyone else?
These are all great suggestions. Also, if you're anything like me, you might want to have a couple of prepared answers to possible topics she might bring up. Good luck. Be calm and confident.
