Excerpt: “When you know what you want (what you really, really want) and you think you found your right kind of spice, your nerves could get the best of you leading up to a first date. And with so many dating apps that often cause lots of ghostingand disappointment, folks who have been dating for a long time without luck could easily become gun shy. Psychologist Dr. Yvonne Thomas explains most people find first meet-ups confusing and difficult, full of pressure and well, not exactly an exciting experience. This is a major misfortune since hey, the hope is to one day go on your very last first date — and delete those swiping torture chambers once-and-for-all. Though an endless sea of profiles can make you feel like you have options, ones that match all of the characteristics and criteria you’re looking for takes practice, failing and of course, lots of patience.”
