all of us who have ever had our fair share of bad days so maybe you just need a bit of advice to help get the ball rolling again to help you out here is a list of the only dating advice you'll ever need number one the most important thing respect you need to trust each other's intentions how can you do so without a little respect healthy couples whose relationships last their secret is communication and respect for each other so if you notice your date is a bit disrespectful to you express that this is a problem
or recognize that it might not work and remember to respect your date as well number two allow intimacy to progress naturally so you like someone a lot it's only the first date but you can't wait to tell them hold it right there while honesty is the best policy revealing how often you think about them may add too much unnecessary pressure on your first date you need to allow some room for the natural progression of intimacy take it slow take it easy and reveal how you feel but make sure not to reveal too much all at
once it is just the first date after all number three don't limit yourself to one type while some of us may think our perfect partner will meet all of our criteria we may be wrong and that idea is very possible so what could you be missing out on just because your date doesn't like star wars as much as you doesn't mean they can't be the perfect match just because you share different interests doesn't mean you won't connect on a deeper level and just because they're not tall and handsome doesn't mean you couldn't be attracted to
them in the future if our type is always changing i guess we don't really have one type do we number four communication is key most people say communication is one of the most important keys to a successful relationship that and respect are a great combo pack it's important to be honest with who you're dating if you're a bit uneasy about something express it if you enjoyed your afternoon don't try to play it cool or play hard to get instead tell them you enjoyed getting to know them be honest about who you are and how you
feel as long as it's not a bombardment of love confessions on your first date number five focus on who you are now early on in dating it's a good idea to focus on the person you are now rather than discuss your past self it's important for couples to know a bit about each other's past but the time will come for that later those first couple of dates show them who you've become try not to talk too much about your mistakes or exes early on they're here to get to know who you are now which brings
us to number six don't alter who you are important tip don't try to pretend you're someone who you're obviously not if you think your date would love a handsome bad boy or a cool girl don't show up wearing a leather jacket when your go-to is knitted sweaters if we alter our personality or style to fit our date's expectations they'll be attracted to someone who doesn't really exist will only attract people who are compatible with someone else so those aviator glasses you picked out for this date stick to your prescriptions number seven don't control the conversation
it's important for both dates to show interest in each other this means you shouldn't spend the whole two hours just talking about your dreams and goals ask your date how they feel and give them time to ask you some questions too remember it's about how both of you feel and if you're compatible you'll never get to know if they're too compatible with you if all you do is talk about yourself number eight be with someone for the right reasons this should seem like easy advice to take but many individuals get lost in other reasons for
being in a relationship maybe your friends and colleagues pressured you into a certain kind of relationship maybe your family expected you to be with this kind of partner whatever the reason it's important to evaluate why you're with your partner is it because you're truly happy around them that already sounds like a great start which advice will you take are you lost in the dating world or have you already found your special someone what was it about them that made you fall head over heels share with us in the comments down below if you found this
