Having fun on a date is integral to its success, and this superpower will make it easy for you and your date to laugh all the way through your meeting.

We all feel nervous walking into a room to meet a date for the first time. This superpower will help you appear as though you are oozing with confidence, allowing you to easily start up conversations with your date. You’ll be unwaveringly self-assured and charismatic, both of which are really attractive qualities to have in a date.

It is easy to appear confident on the outside even if you don’t feel that way on the inside.

To alleviate nerves, try taking a deep breath before walking into the room.


This superpower will make you cool as a cucumber, totally unaffected by first date nerves and jitters. Your relaxed attitude would even help put your date at ease and make them feel comfortable in your presence. Totalcoolness would show off your warmth and sincerity which are highly desirable traits and should something embarrassing happen, your totalcoolness would mean you brush it off with style.
