6 DATING TIPS TO FOLLOW IN YOUR 20

Dating is different for everyone. Some people will have an easy time finding dates and being successful. On the other hand some people will have a harder time. Often dating to them can be described like an amusement park ride; it’s up and down, twisty and turny and sometimes makes you nauseous. Dating in your 20’s in a completely new experience from those days past in high school. You’re an adult now and the dating pool has just gotten a whole lot bigger. There is more competition and everyone is out for himself or herself. Dating in your 20’s can be good, bad and awkward. Looking back on dating in my 20’s I wish I could go back and give myself some dating advice. Sure the process of learning from the experiences is something I would never give up, but some dating tips would have been welcome. I thought it would be a cool idea to give daters in their 20’s some dating tips I wish I had when I was young and hungry in the dating game.

Dating In Your 20’s Tip 1:

Your date is just that, a date. Number one rule is, don’t forget you’re not going out to make a proposal for marriage. The date will consist of your going out with another person, learning about them and telling your story. If you make a date into something more than a date, you won’t be successful.

Dating In Your 20’s Tip 2:

When you’re in your 20’s although you might think you know what you ideal type is, or taste you’re probably wrong. Every date you go out on, will help you to hone-in on what exactly you like. Going out on many dates will give you the chance to define your tastes. Without spending time with that man or woman you can’t be sure of what it is you want. So, get out on as many dates as possible and learn how to define whom it is that really get your juices flowing.

Dating In Your 20’s Tip 3:

Dating is also about you. When you’re going on dates you’re finding out what kind of dater you are and how you would be in a relationship. You’re going to be able to draw upon your experiences and place yourself in a relationship based on that context. Beginning to learn new things about you, evolving and maturing into a responsible dater.

Dating In Your 20’s Tip 4:

Having butterflies is natural. If you don’t get nervous there is probably something wrong with you. Dates are awkward and that is completely normal. When you hear a story about the first dates they usually contain an awkward factor. Don’t go into your about expecting everything to flowing naturally. Expect awkward silences and moments, its normal, you’re normal, so stop worrying.

Like I’ve said before, dating in your 20’s can be difficult. However, if you follow these simple rules then you’ll make your dating life a whole lot easier. You’re still young and you have a lot left to experience. Seize the moment, live and learn, once you’re older you’ll look back and have a good laugh.

Dating In Your 20’s Tip 5:

Despite popular belief, consuming too much alcohol on a date isn’t particularly flattering. Getting drunk and sloppy on a date isn’t going to bode well for a second date. Don’t get me wrong, its ok to have one or two drinks, but keep that to the maximum. When you’re drunk, besides being messy you will most likely say things you wouldn’t normally like the other person to know this soon into meeting. When you’re going on a date, you’ll need to make a rule for how many drinks you’re allowed to have, I would suggest two!

Dating In Your 20’s Tip 6:

Do you like yourself? If the answer is no, then you should start, now. Like attracts like and you want the best for you. Everyone will have imperfections; no one is perfect after all. Dig deep, find your confidence and use that on your dates. When people see you’re confident they will like you a lot more. Being successful at dating starts with how you view yourself, so make the view good and you’ll have the success.

Dating In Your 20’s Tip 7:

You’ve planned the entire date down to a tee. You think it’s going to be the most perfect date ever. However, something goes wrong, but you still end up having the best time. This isn’t uncommon. People often put so much energy into dates that it just sets it up for failure. The best dates usually happen when something goes wrong. Try not to be too planned, let things flow. You’ll have a better time and you’ll get to see how the other person reacts. This is a good way to figure out if he or she is relationship material.
