So I was just about to go into 2020 minding my “single” business. My last relationship ended in 2014. In 2015, I convinced myself to go on a break from dating/relationships and somehow that led to me being single single.
No entertainment.
No date nights.
No good morning texts.
No nothing.
I MEAN ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AT ALL.
Then as I was more focused than I had ever been before. More driven. More confident. More on track with my life goals.
I met a guy….
And that will be a different blog for a different day.
Today I want to share some dating tips for men and women. I recognize that so much has changed since 2014.
I see that it’s a whole new world out here.
Here’s what I have to share:
Dating Tips:
- Be bold when/if you shoot your shot. Confidence is always an attractive trait.
- If you’re not a texter, don’t pretend to be one. Stick to the method of communication that you’ll be the most consistent with.
- Whenever you reach out, do so with purpose. I can promise you that we’re all tired of seeing WYD.
- Do not share that the individual is the only one within the first 3 dates. It’s none of their business yet.
- If you ask them out on a date to a restaurant, YOU ARE OBLIGATED TO PAY. Can’t pay, don’t ask.
- Be clear about your expectations. This is the easiest way for the two of you to gain clarity on if you desire to move forward.
- NEVER SETTLE. Regardless of how good they look or smell. NEVER EVER EVER SETTLE.
- Keep those boundaries in place for as long as you see fit to do so.
- Don’t fall for the lies: No one is that busy. If they want to talk to you, I promise you they will make time to do so.
- Be your authentic self. If they make you feel like you have to make drastic changes, they’re not worth your time.
If you’re out here dating, be smart and have fun. Not too much fun though. But enough fun that allows you to discover new restaurants and places in your city that you’d love to go back to soon.
DO NOT USE PEOPLE. That isn’t fair nor is it worth the hurt that the other party experiences in the end.
Dating in 2020: where you have no superpowers but will need to wear a mask for safety.
(that was a joke. please use common sense because COVID-19 is real.)
