What you say is not as important as how you say it.
There are usually two types of people that come to see me about the dating service. The first falls into the super-picky-I’ve-got-it-all-and-want-to-see-if-Nikki-can-do-better type of group (story for another time), and the second falls into I-love-my-house-and-nothing-will-ever-take-me-away type of group. These people are actually really smart, climbing their corporate ladder, graduated from Chulalongkorn, Thammasart, Kasetsart, or even from abroad. But a lot of them came to see me and sounded so boring and looked so unimpressive. If you want to lose a single and be a plural this year, here is what you should stop doing:
- When someone asked you about your hobbies, don’t say you like to stay at home and watch TV. Say what series you like to watch i.e. Entourage, and asked if the other has a favourite show?
- When someone asked you where you like to eat, name a place that you really like, and say why, and don’t just say I can eat everything.
- When someone asked you about your job, instead of saying “I’m an engineer”, say you are responsible for a production running of such and such which made such and such million last year.
Be inspired, and learn to give yourself a credit for the simple things you do.
