Dating Advice
 |
Dating advice is abundant on the Internet, in magazines, books, newspapers and on TV. There was even an eight year old kid who wrote a book filled with sound dating advice. (That kid really is pretty clever and must be pretty popular with the girls, because although fairly basic, all of his dating advice is good sense. |If you read the book, you will be forced to agree that that eight-year-old kid does know what he’s on about and that he keeps it simple. And that is the point really: when it comes to dating, keep things simple.
Leave your past in the past. It only holds you back. Anyone you get dating advice from will tell you that to have even one successful date, you need to dump all your baggage and start afresh. Do not ruin your chances by boring your new date with stories of your ex’s crimes against you. It is a just not on. Do not let old grievances spoil new chances.
‘Do as you normally do – just be yourself’ is surely the best dating advice there is. Without dobt, people like to excel, to shine and impress their date, but faking it will only make both you and your date feel uncomfortable.
Not to expect too much (nor too little) is also good dating advice. If you expect too much from one date or from te person you are dating, it is highly likely that you will be discouraged by the results. After all, your date is only human too and first dates are generally at least slightly awkward.
A frequently asked question is who pays? The consensus in dating advice is that he who invites, pays. However, some people insist that it is better to go Dutch every time and avoid complications. There is another school of dating advice though, that insists that the man pays for every date. In the case of a difference of opinion between you and your date, come to a compromise that works for both of you.
Probably texting your date before your meeting is smart dating advise as it puts him or her at ease and allows you to discuss interests or hobbies in a much more informal way and less tense environment than your first date would be. That would allow you to use this as common ground when things get awkward (as they generally do on the first few dates unless there is an instant rapport) and get the conversation going again.
Basically, just remember, no matter how much dating advice you have, it’s all up to you in the end. No date is the be-all and end-all, so if one doesn’t work out, never fear, there will be others. No matter how difficult the first date seems, it does get easier until it’s actually fun.
