If you are single, you will know how difficult it is to find advice about dating and being single. We’d all love to meet our perfect soulmate. So often, so-called dating experts (who are usually married) astound us with obvious wisdom, but I am sure you get the feeling their point of view isn’t always too realistic. You know, being single can be tough and lonely, whatever your age, and now and again, it would be good to get some real inspiration from other single people.
Whether you are new or a regular in the dating scene, there should always be time for top dating tips, advice, information, and things to consider. The truth is there are no magic formulas or potions and no cunning ways of trapping Mr or Miss Right. But there are some valid facts that you should take into consideration along the way.
- Make sure you are ready to enter the dating game. Have some idea about what it is you are hoping to achieve. Also, be prepared for some disappointments along the way. However, don’t let this affect the bigger picture.
- Get your image right, don’t go over the top, you still want to look like yourself. Don’t try too hard, either. But remember, people appreciate other people’s appearances.
- Think about your dating goals and timescales. Be honest with yourself. If you see yourself married in two years, then approach dating accordingly. If you are more laid back about dating, be honest with those you may date.
- Be confident. Do all those little things that will boost your confidence levels. Don’t talk about adult matters or sex toys on your first date. The other person will respect you more in the long run if you don’t bring up this ‘touchy’ issue.
- Don’t aim too low but do aim realistically. Be prepared and realistic about your chances. Dating is not just based on your personality but the whole package you present to others.
- Think about where you are going to meet new people. Join drama groups or a gymnasium, anything where you are likely to meet potential partners and the kind of people you are looking to meet.
- If it’s not going well, don’t be afraid to take time out from dating. Take stock and maybe re-evaluate. Keep your optimism high and try again.
- Remember, you’re not going to necessarily meet your soulmate on your first date. So enjoy dating for what it is, meeting new people, and even making new friends as you go.
- Never make yourself too available. People still like the thrill of the chase when dating. The longer someone is made to chase you and fall for you, the more likely it is that love will blossom.
- Most importantly, enjoy yourself. It will add a new dimension to your life. Dating will let you meet a variety of people with who you wouldn’t necessarily think you’d get along with or have anything in common. Whether or not anything more develops from dating, think of it as another of those little life experiences.
