9 Dating Tips Men and Women Should Live By:

Having trouble navigating though those rocky relationship waters?  You’re not alone, many single men and women are having a tough time of dating and finding relationships.  I developed a list of dating tips that can help anyone find their way though the dating game into a successful, loving relationship. 

Finding the right match for you may take many dates.  However, nothing that is worth it comes easy.  You should be prepared to leave your comfort zone but don’t fret you won’t have to compromise your ethics or morals in the process.

You should always be yourself and the counterpart fall for the real you.

Without further adieu these are the top 10 dating tips that are suitable for any man or woman.

Dating Tip 1:

Trust your instincts.  If you’re finding there isn’t any instant chemistry, move on.  There are plenty fish in sea, therefore you shouldn’t waste your time on someone who isn’t a match.  You need to put yourself out there and no one is going to notice you when you’re on a date someone that you’ll most likely never see again. 

Dating Tip 2:

You’re allowed to take presents without feeling guilty or feeling like you needs to return the action.  Unless they’re giving you an engagement ring, there is not good reason why you need to feel guilty about someone showing you a token of their affection, love or just something to say they like you.

Dating Tip 3:

Being single had it benefits so don’t get hung up on not being part of a couple.  Take advantage of the alone time to reflect, read, watching TV, or whatever is you like to do as a pass time.  Once you get into a relationship you’ll lose a lot of the “me” time you have now, so enjoy while you can.

Dating Tip 4:

Be as cool, as a cucumber!  You don’t want to scare off a potential love match, lifetime partner or soul mate by coming on too strong.  It’s ok to show the other person that you like them, if fact I would recommend you do.  However, just don’t be too eager to confess your love or express plans for the distant future.  If this is the right person, there will be lots of time to love letters and plan making.

Dating Tip 5:

Put down that drink!  I mean it, don’t drink on your first date.  If you drink, you’ll impair your judgment of the person.  You’ll need to keep a clear head on the date.  On the other hand, you don’t want to become a messy drunk and have your date judge you or not want to see you again.

Dating Tip 6:

When you’re ready to take it to the next step, then do it.  Not on the first, I’m talking about sex people!   If you feel things are heading in the right direction, then make the move.  Let your guard down and go for it, it’s a good way to judge if the relationship is actually going to thrive, if you have no sexual chemistry, it will be a good time to get out of there.  You don’t want the other person to think you’re not interested in them, if they’re not taking the lead then you need to step in and do it yourself, you’re in control of your own destiny.

Dating Tip 7:

Never forget that no one is perfect, however there are a lot of people better than others.  Early on it’s ok to over look the little things that may come off to you as imperfections.  If you like them a lot, but they snore- give them a chance.   If they annoy you a little and they snore, well… they’re out!  Time to go back to the drawing board and make some more dates.

Dating Tip 8:

Be honest with yourself and them!  If you feel things are going wrong and not everything is flowing, as it should, its ok to part.  Be mature and have a conversation, end it right.  You would want the same thing if it were you and just a general rule that I find; if you’re feeling a particular way they’re probably feeling a similar way, too.

Dating Tip 9:

If you’re success in finding someone to date and it develops into a relationship the next step is marriage.  It’s a huge step but a great one.  However, don’t move forward with anything so big unless you’re completely sure this is the absolute right person for you.  You don’t want to make the mistake of rushing into something too quickly and upsetting two lives in the process.

Well, there you have it, 9 dating tips that will guide you though the rocky waters of dating.  But, fear not… once you find that one true love, you will be happier than you ever thought you could be.  Be true to yourself, be honest and be fair and you’ll have no trouble finding the relationship and person you always imagined you’d have.
