I believe you put to much expectations into dating. Can you change your though process?
Go into it with the belief that it will be the only date. Your one chance to learn as much about another person as possible. Your one chance to have a great experience with them.
I need to. The current method I am applying is giving me limited success. The primary issue I am having to work through is figuring out why the first date never happens. More often than not I would get a commitment early on only to have them back off later.
