“Remember those walls I built, well baby they’re tumblin’ down…” Beyoncé “I’m guarded.” It’s a phrase singles and commitment-phobes use liberally and unfortunately inaccurately to explain why they’re single.

When we’re deciding who to say yes to, it’s often the people who make a lasting first impression. The feelings we get from meeting them for the first time indicate that full length date could actually be a great time. Think of dating like a movie.
