Dating vs. Tennis.. Go with what works

Yes, go with what works, but change what doesn't. I recently heard that Rafael Nadal, the #1 Tennis player in the world has signed a huge contract with Nike. Their marketing people want to come out with a new line of Nadal signature products. The problem is that they want Rafael to change his image. They tried to convince him to get away from the muscle shirts and pedal pusher shorts. I heard that Rafael was set to go with the change for the current U.S. Open, but at the last minute he got cold feet and decided not to change, at least until after the tournament. I guess he figured; "I worked myself up to # 1, so why change a winning formula?" Good thinking!!
Now let's compare it to your dating life. If it is working and you are happy with the quantity and quality of your dates, then I suggest you continue what you're doing. But if you're like most of the people I talk too who are not happy with their dating lives it's time for changes. Here are just a few (include your comments with your suggestions): Get a make-over, new hairstyle, professional make up and re-do your online dating photo AND your profile. When you meet someone new, act friendly, don't brag, make eye contact, smile, look to have fun, go out to new places where people with common interests hang out, and tell your friends and family to keep you in mind thinking of possible dates for you. Change your wardrobe to be more fashionable and "cool", and my final suggestion, don't look at a date as the person you may want to marry...just look to have fun and enjoy yourself..It will take the pressure off and you WILL have fun.
