If you’re one of those that has gotten sick of the dating scene and has decided to take a break for a while, that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Chances are you have been doing the “dating scene” the same way for years, and you’re just over the way it works, and/or doesn’t work.
We have compiled the 5 best dating tips change the way you date and make the most out of a constantly changing dating scene that just hasn’t been working for you.
1. Give the bars a break. We’ve all been told countless times by our parents that a bar is not a great place to meet someone and that you should be checking out sports groups, church, hobby groups etc. Truth is, they aren’t wrong and you’re probably starting to realize that. Move beyond the confines of an intoxicated group of people all looking for the same thing and figure out other things that you might be interested in and join groups that make socializing easy.
2. Give your friends a try. If you’re worried about staying in your circle of friends for dating, you shouldn’t be. There is a big reason they are your friends and if you give them and your friends of friends a try, you may be surprised at all the similarities that you come across. Also, let your friends set you up. They already know you so well and maybe it’s time to trust that they can set you up with someone that may make you happy.
3. Get off tinder and try another site. We all know that tinder is more so of a hook up app and anyone that says differently is just fooling themselves. In actuality, how many couples, married or otherwise, have you known that has met on tinder? Probably not many, if any at all. Get off tinder and try a dating site specific to your needs, hobbies and interests. For example, www.singleswithfoodallergies.com is a great place to start for singles looking for love but battle food allergies that make it difficult to date.
4. Don’t reveal everything about yourself. You may have been told to be open and honest on your first date and while that is very true, you shouldn’t reveal your life story. In fact, you should keep to the basics. First dates aren’t about learning everything about each other in one day. It’s mostly to see if you have chemistry or not, so stop thinking you need to reveal everything in your mind. Just play it cool and hold off before any serious talk happens.
5. If you’re not immediately into them, move on. Stop wasting your time on the what-ifs and the initial “do I like them?” phase. If you’re not into them, move on and focus your time and energy on more productive things. There is no point in keeping up a facade just to have something to do on a Friday night. That’s exhausting and will wear you down quickly. Save your energy! It will be fair to both you and your date.
