The DOS AND DON’TS of Dating
Dating can be a tricky thing. You want to find someone who shares your values and brings out the best in you. But sometimes it’s hard not to compare yourself to others or get caught up in all the drama that comes with being “single.”
DO be open to every kind of connection.
- Be open to new experiences.
- Be open to new people.
- Be open to new ideas.
- Be open to new ways of doing things and thinking, too!
You know what else is great? Being open-minded can lead you into some pretty amazing places: think outside the box, try something different than what has been done before…and don’t forget about the whole living thing–being willing to change at all levels makes life exciting!
DON’T be too picky.
- Don’t be too picky.
- Or be too hard on yourself, either. There will always be someone out there who is better suited for you than the current person in your life and won’t even know it until it’s too late.
- It’s okay to try new things and make mistakes as long as they don’t hurt anyone else (or at least don’t feel like they do). If something doesn’t work out, then that’s fine. No one has ever been hurt by failure!
- You should also feel comfortable asking for help when needed: other people just want to help us with our lives; why would we turn them away when they’re offering?
DO be a good listener.
- Be a good listener.
- Listen to what the other person has to say, not just what you want to say.
- Be patient. Don’t interrupt when they’re talking and don’t jump in before they’re finished, even if you have something important that needs to be said or done immediately!
- Don’t be afraid of asking questions like “why?” or “what do you mean?” These are great ways of getting more information out of someone who might not have already shared everything with you yet (or even at all). It also shows that you care about what they have to say!
- Express yourself freely without fear of judgment from others. You know your own feelings better than anyone else does anyway!
DON’T let your insecurities get the best of you.
When it comes to dating, there are a lot of things that can go wrong. You might not like the way they dress, or they might not like the way you dress–or maybe they don’t even care at all!
Don’t let your insecurities get the best of you. If someone tells you they’re not interested in dating someone who dresses like a homeless person, then that should be good enough for them to move on to someone else (who doesn’t care about their clothes). And if someone says something along those lines and then later asks for another date? Well, I’m pretty sure that means something is going on between those two people!
DO find common interests that both of you can share and enjoy together.
DO find common interests that both of you can share and enjoy together.
You can do this by finding a way to share your interest with each other, whether it’s going on a walk, playing video games, or watching sports together. You can even try doing something new every week if you want! The point is that if there’s something that neither of you has ever done before then this will be an exciting adventure for both of you!
DON’T judge people by their looks or the way they dress.
You should never judge people by their looks or the way they dress. You shouldn’t judge people by their weight, race or religion. Also, you shouldn’t judge them by their age (unless you’re at least 50 years old). You shouldn’t judge them for being gay or lesbian (or straight). And don’t even think about judging a woman based on her nationality!
Don’t let yourself get caught up in these useless peccadillos; they’ll only lead to trouble later on down the road.
DO respect personal space and privacy at all times, even if it’s hard to do so!
Respecting personal space and privacy is a sign of respect. It’s important to be able to tell when someone is too close or invading your personal space. So respect their space at all times.
DON’T feel obligated to do anything you are uncomfortable with because you feel duty-bound to keep the other person happy.
It is important to remember that you are not obligated to do anything you are uncomfortable with. You are in a relationship, not a marriage. If there’s something that bothers the other person, let them know and then move on from it.
Don’t feel duty-bound to keep the other person happy either; if their actions make you uncomfortable or upset you then walk away from the situation!
You also don’t want your insecurities getting the best of you when it comes down to dating someone new–the last thing they need is another person who feels insecure about themselves because they’re constantly worrying about how others will perceive them (and making sure everyone else knows how great they think they look). Instead, focus on finding common interests that both of yoyu can share and enjoy together…
Dating is about finding people who connect with you for who you are and what you stand for; not just how good-looking or how rich they are
It’s about finding people who connect with you for who you are and what you stand for. It’s not about how good-looking or how rich they are. Don’t feel obligated to do anything you are uncomfortable with because you feel duty-bound to keep the other person happy.
If someone has a problem with your body weight. Don’t try to change yourself into something else just so that he/she will be happy! If this person doesn’t like the way they look. Then maybe they should go on a diet themselves instead of expecting others around them to change their bodies too (and also cover up).
