Dealing With Emotions While Dating

There are things that can help. Hitting the gym, good posture, deep breathing to keep the heart rate down and the eyes not too wide open, don't talk too fast, engage in light/playful teasing, and maybe boosting testosterone.

Retain your appeal? Dude, you have it backwards. Your display, while it should be your best traits, should be your traits. Ya want someone crazy about you. Not someone who merely tolerates you or is with you because they see something that is not actually there. With that said, if mental toughness is something you want then it needs to be trained like any muscle would. Through repitition and practice. Set the standard for yourself and others then stick to it.

Yeah, like halo said. If you aren't a psychopath, then show it. Emotions and empathy are sexy. In fact, I actually have the inverse problem. I have a very stern way of presenting myself, even when I'm joking and being playful, so I have trouble revealing my emotions. Like I can talk about them, but as to actually emoting them? Yeah, need some work there. But you know? Sell yourself as who you are. And I don't mean like that toxic "If he/she don't like me at my worse, than he/she don't deserve my best" thing. What are the aspects of yourself that you like about yourself. If it is your kindness that's your best quality, then you need to find a good way to convey that's what you have to offer. Like if she asks you where you want to go for your first date, say something like "Let's build a pillow fort so we can talk about our vulnerabilities in a safe place where no one could be judged." (And trust me, if you see a light flicker in her eyes, then that's what she's looking for. Lots of girls want to build pillow forts but never really get the excuse to.)

As a woman i much prefer tge guy to show, or at least say what he is feeling. Iy is so frustrating to be with a guy even as a friend who bottles syuff up. Especially when it's obvious something is up. Good or bad. If we wanted an emotionless machine might as well date a robot.
