99 Dating Tips Part VII
71. Meet new people and make new experiences.
If you always go through the same daily routine that you are used to, even on weekends, then you may not be able to get a date that could change your life. Thus, you need to put some variety into your life, by going to new and interesting places, where you could meet new people. By doing that, you won’t just be relying on your luck on scoring a date, but you are making things happen on your own.
72. To enjoy dating, you need to invest time and effort.
There may be times when you don’t feel like going out for a date. However, since you have already set the time, and you don’t want to make a fool of someone else, then you need to do it. The date may not be that great, but there is also a good possibility that it would. Therefore, aside from investing time and effort, you should also take a chance.
73. Don’t expect too much from people.
When you expect too much from your date, you may end up getting disappointed about him or her. The best way to do it is to not expect anything from someone, which you are not also capable of doing by yourself. Aside from that, it is best to expect less from them, so that you would get surprised when your date does something great that you are not expecting.
74. Getting to know your date.
Getting to know your date is one of the best things that you can do, in order to see if you can really build a lasting relationship with them. Thus, you need to ask questions about what your date believes in, what he or she is planning for her life, what his or her goals are, and more. Aside from asking questions though, you should also observe if they are living the way they say they are.
75. Don’t be too fast in writing off somebody.
If you are not able to hit it off right away on your first date, there is no need to write off somebody right away. This is because, it is very possible that you or your date may not be comfortable with you yet. In most cases, it takes around 2 or 3 dates, before you could get a sense, whether you are really interested in the person or not.
76. Never force yourself to liking someone.
Forcing yourself to liking someone is never a good idea, unless you simply want to try it out. It does not mean that if your date is the nicest one you have went out with that you should like him. This is because being nice is not the only requirement for a relationship to grow. You also need to share common interests and values, so that you can agree on lots of things.
77. Lazy communication.
There are certain persons who communicate only through text, emails, or instant messages. If you want a more open relationship, then you should avoid these types of persons. This is because these ones usually do not want to reveal themselves to other individuals. Aside from that, they may also become lazy on their relationships.
78. Can the other person give you what you want in a relationship?
This is a question that you need to ask to yourself, especially when you have taken further steps in your relationship, after dating a number of times. This is because you want to make sure that you are investing on something that is worth every minute of your time. Aside from that, it can also prevent you from expecting too much from someone.
79. Be careful in telling your date about your past relationships.
Your first and second dates are not the best times in telling your date about your past relationships. This is because it can make the other person be bored with all your past stories. You should know that your date is interested in you, and not your past. Aside from that, your information about your past relationships should not be shared to someone whom you do not trust fully yet.
80. Going to movies.
Watching movies should not be done on your first few dates. This is because these dates should be the stage where you want to get to know each other well. When you go inside the movie theater, on top of being too dark, it won’t allow you to talk to each other well. In relation to this, on these first few dates, you should do something, which involves lots of interaction.
