Do give people a chance.

 

It’s easy to think that we know exactly what we want from a partner before we even meet them, and this can lead to eliminating people before we have ever really got to know them.

 

Now I’m not saying that if someone is behaving poorly on a first date, you should just stay and let them get away with it. However, if you really want to have a more successful dating life, you should try and not let things like dress sense, or even hairstyles become deal breakers if they don’t need to be.

 

Don’t agree to a whole meal on a first date.

 

One of the smartest things you can do to improve your dating life is never to agree to go for a full meal on a first date. Yup, that right go for a drink or for coffee only.

 

Then you can make a sharp exit if they turn about to be someone that you know you’re not interested in, and you can avoid all that nasty awkwardness of sitting through a meal when all you really want to do is bolt from the room.

 

Do say what you really want.

 

Online dating has only increased the number of game players in the dating pool. In fact, despite specific sites geared towards no string attached hookups, you will still find a considerable proportion of people on genuine dating sites that are much more interested in the chase than actually settling down, even if their profile says they want nothing more than to get married.

 

Of course, you can’t control the behavior of others, and it might be best to steer clear of mentioning in any specific wedding details that you have in mind on a first date. However, there is nothing wrong with stating precisely what you are looking for including a long-term serious relationship if that is your ultimate aim. Who knows you might get lucky and find someone else that genuinely wants the same!

 


Don’t get distracted by your phone.

 

One of the most annoying things about modern dating is the preoccupation most people have with their phone. In fact, using a smartphone constantly sends a terrible signal to the person they are on a date with that they aren’t as important as whoever is messaging.

 

Therefore, it’s wise to put your phone away and try to truly listen to the person that was in front of you. After all, if this is a human that you will potentially be spending the rest of your life with, isn’t it worth giving them at least an hour of your time to get to know them and assesses whether you would be a good match?

 

Do try different ways of meeting people.

 

When you are single, every social event can seem like a grueling trial you need to get through to meet ‘the one.’ However, you don’t have to be always on the lookout for a potential soul mate in your social or work life, because there are so many other ways of meeting people available.

 

In particular, you may wish to try online dating, group meetups, or even chat lines instead. In fact, you can even get free gay chat line numbers online and try out this type of service to see if it suits you. All without having to invest any of your own money, or make the rest of your life one long obsessional quest to find a partner.

 

Do remember that there is more to life than finding ‘the one’.

 

The thing with modern society is that we are all so obsessed about finding that one single person that will be our soulmate for the rest of our lives. However, life doesn’t always work out that way, and that is OK too.

 

After all, some people meet their soulmate, and then things change or tragedy strikes! Others meet the right person for a particular time in their lives, and others still have a happy and fulfilling time alone. Just remember that life is much bigger than just finding ‘the one,’ so don’t let yourself be completely caught up on dating and do other fulfilling things as well.
