Tip I learned from my own experience is..from my own style of dating.. Be brutally honest and frank..honesty is a rare commodity these days..(in other words.. bank on the dishonesty of other people)..you'll stand out. Dont try to ack too perfect because everyone knows that no one is perfect Acting too perfect will make you look like a horrible actor or a liar or trying to hide something. Just make jokes on awkward situations..an easiest way out of awkward situations.
