My uncle told me I was overthinking my first date and he was totally right

I spent like 2 hours planning this perfect coffee shop meetup for a girl I liked from my chem class. My uncle saw me stressing and said just pick a place with good pie and shut up about the rest. I went to this diner on 5th Street and we ended up laughing about a spilled milkshake for 20 minutes. The whole thing worked way better than any of my fancy plans because I wasn't so nervous. Has anyone else had family give advice that actually saved you from yourself?

Honestly used to roll my eyes at advice like that, but this post totally flipped my view.

What specifically flipped your view though? Was there one thing in the post that just clicked for you or was it more of a slow build?
