Body Language Mistakes & Fixes

Talking too fast (shows nerves).
Talking too much (trying to impress her).
Not knowing what to say next (not enough practice).
Drinking (to become comfortable).
Asking too many questions (Creating rapport too soon, doesn't want rapport unless attracted first).
Wrong body language (hands connected, feet too close, shoulders down, leaning in).
Buying her drinks (shows buying her over, getting her drunk).
Not comfortable talking to strangers (social anxiety).

Fixes

Keep hands out of pockets.
Stand with feet wider apart.
Never look down when walk, look above horizon.
Stand with chest pushed outwards.
Keep shoulders relaxed and back.
Walk confidently and slowly with bigger steps.
Take up lots of space no matter where.
Pay attention to dress.
Always lean back.
Touch people when talk to them.
All body language should be comparable in speed.
