Honestly, you don't need dating advice save for "just be yourself". If a guy isn't seduced by your extensive lecture about coealacanths, or a girl isn't impressed by you gaming the McDonald's systems to finesse yourself 30 free chicken nuggets, you're on a date with the wrong person. Not a bad person, but one that isn't the right match for you, and the way you want to live.
First dates are for showing someone "hey this is the kind of life I like to be living", them doing the same, until you find someone who clicks and you both think "fuck yeah I want to live like this." Whether that's sitting in a café judging joggers, or casually committing small crime for shits and giggles.

every time theres a new bad tv show or movie people act like its the end of the world you guys need to learn about the not watching shit method i’ve been successfully employing the not watching shit method for years
I find it fascinating that people who choose not to have children are generally assumed to feel really strongly about not having children (or even to feel really strongly against children, anyone’s children, in general). I am probably not going to have children, not because I REALLY REALLY HATE the idea of having children, but because I don’t really really love it. Out of all the major decisions I will make in my life, this one is the only irreversible one. I can sell a house, quit a job, divorce a spouse, whatever. I cannot unhave a child. I cannot opt out of being a parent once I become a parent. I can’t even take a step back for the sake of self-care or whatever, or else my child will suffer.
So for me, having children is fuck yes or not at all. The default will be to remain childfree. Having children should be an opt-in decision, not an opt-out one. Until/unless I develop really strong feelings about wanting to have children, I won’t have them, even if that means I never end up having them at all.
HOLD UP HOW WAS I NOT AWARE OF THIS
Fandom still characterizes Chara as a stabby, mean, out-of-control child even in life...
...but the fact is, Chara made monsters lose their fear of humans after thousands of years.
What kind of child could do that?
What kind of child could give the Underground hope it didn't have for millennia?
When Chara fell into the Underground, monsters still lived in the Ruins.
Monsters were so afraid of humans that they lived on the far side of the cavern from the barrier.
That's why Asriel has a chair and room in the Ruins.
That's why there's concept art of Chara and Asriel playing in the leaves under the tree in the Ruins.
Chara fell in the Ruins while monsters still lived there, too afraid of humans to venture closer to the barrier.
That's why Asriel heard them call for help.
And why one of their flower drawings is in Asriel's room.
Asgore was convinced there was no hope of leaving, since humans would kill them anyway.
...until one human child changed his mind.
There's a missing history book between these two passages:
The reason monsters stopped fearing the other side of the Underground was Chara.
This book is book 4:
The reason Asgore changed his mind about humans being remorseless killers is because of Chara.
During their life, monsters saw Chara as a beacon of hope and a part of the royal family.
Asgore in particular adored Chara and put his hopes into them.
If Chara were violent or mean, the Underground wouldn't have lost their fear of humans.
The Underground saw Chara as a playful, loving, hopeful child.
And to some extent, they were.
Chara wanted things to work out, too.
But I think they suffered some severe imposter syndrome, likely due to their hatred of humanity.
Hatred that would, naturally, include Chara themself.
I think after nearly killing their adoptive father, Chara decided humans were all evil and the only way they could be redeemed...
...was to shatter the barrier at the cost of their own life.
Chara lost hope. But the Dreemurrs still remember the person they were.
Asgore and Toriel remember their glass-filling habit fondly.
Asgore and Toriel take care of Chara's flowers.
And Asriel, who knew them best, and now understands they weren't really the greatest person in the world...
...still spends his last moments as himself at their grave.
He still fills the water in the glass the same way they did.
At the end of Pacifist, he talks to Chara and assures them everyone will be okay.
I think that says a lot about the kind of person Chara was when they were alive.
Chara was not the Underground's demon.
