Okay, socially anxious. How do I go about dating? Well, I think it's helpful for the socially anxious girls. Make sure that a lot of your interactions start online is actually going to help you get more comfortable chatting with people so that when you are meeting them in real life, you've already had all of this experience with them. So that's number one. Number two, like, when before you, like go and meet anyone, make sure that you have like a phone call and even, even like a FaceTime date so that again, you can have that level of comfort and trust before meeting them. So that when you do meet them in real life for the first time, you're not. Y' all keep on saying socially anxious. It's. It's just weird, girl, right? Like, we start to act out, we start to freak out, we start to not be ourselves and we start to weird out. So that's what I think is really important here. The other thing for my socially anxious girls, because I do want to be a little bit more sensitive on a Saturday morning, is go out with friends. Go out with friends so that you're not hyper focused on what's happening externally, that you can kind of stay in your microcosm of a world and just have a good time and radiate the energy to attract people to come toward you.
