Let's face it, between first date nerves and the hope that this person will check all the boxes (or at least SOME of them), grounding into authentic connection can be difficult. This episode explores just how important presence and true curiosity are while navigating the dynamics of chemistry (or lack-thereof) and conversation. And let's not forget charisma...

Let's dive in!
