Here’s a Little Bit of Advice… the Tips on Dating you should Definitely Ignore

There’s so much dating advice out there but you shouldn’t follow it all to the absolute letter. In fact, there’s some very bad advice around, too. Whether you’re trying to meet someone on a dating site like www.mysinglefriend.com or simply thinking about getting into the dating game, here are some rules you can happily ignore.

He doesn’t have to be Mr Right

Don’t settle for a guy simply because you don’t think you’ll ever find Mr Right. If you like someone but they’re not instantly perfect for you, give them a chance to see how things develop. However, don’t stay with someone if you can’t see a future with them. It’s okay to wait for the perfect man.

Don’t let him see you eat too much

It’s not true that men want thin women who don’t show passion about food. Actually, men are a little suspicious of women who don’t want to eat in front of them. So, the next time you’re out for dinner with someone, make sure to order exactly what you want. If you love food then it’s something you and your date can bond over. Don’t order a salad just because you think that’s the right thing to do.

Don’t call for at least two days

If you want to call someone, do it. Playing the game just makes things complicated.

Wait until the third date until you get intimate

If you and you date really hit it off and you both want to get a little closer physically on the first date, go for it. If it doesn’t happen until the sixth date, that’s fine too. You shouldn’t let arbitrary ‘rules’ like this one dictate how you live you life.

Get out there even if you’re not ready

If you’ve just come out of a long-term relationship, your friends might be quite eager to get you into the dating game. Don’t let them force you; if you’re not ready to meet someone new just yet then don’t put yourself out there. Of course, go out, have fun with your friends and if you bump into someone you click with, that’s brilliant! But don’t force yourself to go on dates when you really don’t want to.

Always wait for him to make the first move

If you’ve met someone you like and want to make a move, do it. A lot of the time a man will make the first move but that’s not to say he won’t appreciate you taking the initiative.

Maintain an air of mystery at all times

You don’t have to have an air of mystery about you and hide all your feelings from your date. Be open and honest (but don’t go over the top with this) and you’ll probably get much further than if you played hard to get.

Acting mysterious can just lead to mixed signals and confusion. There’s also the chance that your date will decide you are hard work and won’t want to see you again. Just be yourself, don’t play any games, and don’t mess anyone around. Good luck!
