You should never get frustrated with yourself for not getting there. Just relax, it's all supposed to be fun remember.

The big problem is you see this as a waste of time, and you're not willing to learn from the others. It's never a waste of time, learn from the wins, learn from the losses.

Just as a side note: Phil's night-closer has worked for me on 1st dates. I originally learnt it from a girl who used it on me on one. Nearly caught me off guard...

Point is, works both ways.
