Men, be honest—have you ever felt this way on a first date? Share your experiences in the comments below!

The #1 mistake men make on a first or second date? Imposter syndrome.
You’re not alone if you’ve felt the pressure to perform—to be smooth, confident, and emotionally unreadable. Society tells men to lead with stoicism, but inside, you’re overanalyzing every word and move. The fear of being judged as harshly as you’re judging yourself creates a wall between you and real connection.

When your thoughts are so focused on being “enough,” it’s nearly impossible to just be yourself. And that’s what creates the confidence block. Women want authenticity—not performance. The moment you stop trying to impress and start showing up as your real self is when everything shifts.
