My 7 Easy Strategies to Make a First Dat...

Adam LoDolce and Dr. Gary Lewandowski
About this episode

It's no secret that first dates can be freaking awkward.

I once saw a man go to shake a woman's hand when she was reaching over the table to grab some bread.

#awkward

But what if I told you that first dates don't have to be that awkward and can actually be fun?

A few years ago I was working as a dating coach on a reality TV show helping Kate Gosselin attract love. And what this experience confirmed for me was that when you have the right strategy and tools in your dating toolkit, you can go from being super nervous on a first date to feeling pretty good about the whole thing.

So, here are my 7 easy strategies to remove the awkwardness from a first date and have fun.
