Say It, Don’t Spray It
Spitting when you talk is one of the most embarrassing things that can happen to you in any social situation, but doubly so when you’re trying to impress a potential partner and wind up giving them a slimy shower that smells like your lunch. Let’s talk about how to stop the spittle.
Experts say that first and foremost, you should slow your roll. You might be excited to tell your date all about your weekend hang gliding with monks in the jungle, or whatever you’re into, but talking excessively fast, loud, or forcefully will send the spit flying. They also advise you to take time to swallow your saliva and avoid stressing hard consonants to keep your date dry.
