I recently met a woman who was yearning to be in a romantic relationship. She’d had a failed marriage and was doing a fair amount of dating, but had not been able to connect with a suitable partner. A colleague wanted to fix her up with someone he knew, and suggested she come to a dinner party where the man was to be a guest. This woman wanted to understand if there was something she might be doing that was turning men off, and asked her colleague to observe her interaction with this potential date and give her feedback. His advice: Be yourself. What do you think of her strategy? Could you ask a friend to watch you date?
