If you’ve had too many first dates and not enough second dates, or if you’re having difficulty scoring those first dates at all, that rejection can really take its toll on your self-esteem. Alas, the truth is this: Your smile is one of the things that could be getting in the way of true love.
We all like to believe that we are loved for who we are, not how we look, but the ultimate reality is that your appearance does affect how someone perceives you. If those first dates are fizzling out as soon as they begin, think about what kind of first impression you’re making. You get cleaned up, dressed up, and fix your hair. But what about your smile? If you flash a broken-down grin, what kind of statement does it make about you? And if you don’t dare to smile, that speaks volumes as well.
