Read books
If I were to have to give only one piece of advice to all singles who are dating today it would be to read books on a variety of topics. The more you learn about topics that will help you in dating such as Communication, Body language, and attraction the more you will benefit from it. Not only will reading potentially help you understand others but it can also help you become a better potential partner.
A person may look good on paper but that does not mean you will be a good fit for one another
A lot of people have an ideal type of person they are hoping to date, however sometimes what these people don’t realize is they don’t know what they want. For example, a woman might say she wants someone who is a CEO of a large company. However, what happens when this particular woman’s love language is spending quality time with one another? There will be exceptions of course however this is just an example.
Date like you’re applying for a job
The more time I spent on the dating scene the more I realized that modern dating is a lot like applying for a job. Dating is a lot like trying to get your dream job. Everyone Just like when looking for a job you have to be consistently sending out applications. This does not mean you have to consistently go on dates every day but it does mean that the more you date the more opportunities or chances you will have to meet someone who could be a great partner. I say could because, in the end, the choice is yours. In dating, you have to go on many dates and get to know people.
Older guys aren’t always as mature as you’d think they would be
I used to think older guys would always be much more mature than guys my age or younger ones. However, I realized that age has nothing to do with maturity. I’ve gone on dates with men who were twice my age and were not ready to settle down. Remember actions speak louder than words.
Learn to differentiate between love and lust
In the dating journey, you will come across many people who may think you are attractive, however, that alone does not mean they will want to have a serious relationship with you. It can be hard to differentiate who is genuine at the beginning since most people will love to bomb you for you to like them. For this reason its important that their is no intimacy right away. Why? Because it gives you some time to get to know the other person. As well as the other person. Ideally, by doing this you will filter out all the people with the wrong intentions.
Set standards on how you want to be treated early on
It’s important to express your needs and set your boundaries early on in the relationship. I can not stress this enough. A lot of people tend not want to cause any sort of tension because they are afraid that they are going to ruin how good things are going. However, what a lot of people don’t realize is that they are doing themselves a disservice to themselves by not speaking up about how they feel. The beginning phases of a relationship are crucial because how you let people treat you in the beginning is how they will treat you in the long run.
