KANSAS IN HEAT // 50 FIRST DATES
> Tackle the sticky world of relationships.
Q. I absolutely hate first dates. What can I do that will help keep my nerves down and impress the guy? T.A.
A. You are your own worst enemy here.
Don't force yourself into trying to like someone. If you guys hit it off, great, if not, no big deal, but keep this in mind — the guy is more worried about what you think of him than what he thinks of you.
I understand how uncomfortable first
dates can be, but don't fear the awkward moments, just laugh and have fun with them. I recommend trying more action dates. An action date is where the two of you are letting the context of the date become the focal point. A typical action date might be bowling or taking a dance class. You bond through action instead of putting pressure on the conversation.
And if you absolutely hate the guy, at least you got salsa lessons out of it, or a tour of a real cool brewery. One of my absolute favorite action dates is karaoke.
There is nothing more attractive than an outgoing person brave enough to risk embarrassing themselves. Trust me, after you've belted out a little "Kiss from a Rose" by Seal, or "Believe" by Cher that initial nervousness will go right out the window.

CATCH OF THE WEEK // JAMES MARC SMITH
> Our weekly peek at a fish in the KU sea.
INTERESTS & HOBBIES: If someone asks you what your hobbies are, how do you answer them? I mean, if you go with sword fighting you're obviously a tool and just trying to impress them. And if you tell them the truth you come off as boring. I guess I just try to take in some quiet moments in life and be a person that no one is expecting. Also, I carve small Russian dolls out of soap.
NOTICES FIRST IN A POTENTIAL PARTNER: I like a sense of awareness and vivaciousness — someone who looks and feels alive. That's what we want, is to feel alive ourselves as well as someone who recognizes that life in us.
TURN ONS: Women who are sure of themselves — girls who know what they want. And as far as the physical is concerned, I really appreciate a little hot breath and licking around the ears..
TURN OFFS: Stupidity. I mean, it's one thing to be attracted to
someone's body, but enjoying someone's entire personality is a huge turn-on.
WHY I M A CATCH: I'm huge, I'm strong. I smell nice and people like to be around me. Oh, and I am also an ordained minister.
