Top 10 Dating Tips

Dating Tips and Advice for Singles

Whether you are new to the dating scene, are reentering the dating scene, or are a serial dater, you can use dating tips and advice. No one is a dating expert – even the most beautiful and wealthy people all struggle with matters of the heart. Everyone can learn something about how to date more, how to attract the types of people we want to attract, and how to make sure initial chemistry blooms into an enduring relationship.

The truth is, there are no magic formulas, no fail-proof tricks, no cunning ways of trapping Mr. or Miss Right. There are however some essential facts that you should always bear in mind along the way. Dating tips are just that -- tips, not one-size-fits-all guarantees. Different tacks will work for different people. It depends on the situation, who we are, where we are in our lives, etc. However, there are some threads of advice that are fairly universal and can benefit anyone who practices them:

Top 10 Dating Tips

1. Get prepared for dating. If you really want to succeed in the dating game, be ready to commit to dating. Half-heartedness won't work. In fact, it won’t even get you half-way. If you really want to date, put some effort into it. Do some research and think about what you want out of dating. Prepare yourself for the inevitable rejection we all face at some point in dating and commit not to give up.
   
2. Get your act together. Begin a regime of looking your best. Join a gym, read health magazines, get fit and start a diet. Get your hair cut or styled and begin a new regime of good grooming or beauty treatment. Though it will not find you a date in itself, you will feel a million times more confident about yourself, and others can sense that.
   
3. Go shopping and treat yourself to new clothes and even a whole new look. Get your image right, one that you can manage and live with, but one that flatters you. Don't try to be someone you’re not, but amplify and accentuate your positives. Throw out those tired jeans, old sweaters or cardigans and spruce yourself up. Your date will appreciate that you demonstrated some effort.
   
4. Think about what you want to gain from dating and what timeframes you expect. Do you see yourself married within 2 years? If you do, then approach dating accordingly. If you are more laid back and don't take dating too seriously then ask yourself some honest questions about why you are dating and what you hope to achieve. If it is purely sex then ask yourself if you are about to be honest with those you hope to date.
   
5. Surround yourself with people who will support your dating aims. By following the first four tips you will feel better and be more focused. Don’t sabotage this by sitting around with friends who are negative about love and relationships (often the married ones). Start attending social functions frequented by singles. Sitting alongside couples at dinner parties in suburbia is not necessarily where you need to be right now.
   
6. Choose those you have a good chance of dating. Be realistic. In other words, your dating is based on the whole package you present as well as just your personality. If you are looking for a glamour girl or boy and want to date someone trendy and gorgeous, great! Just know that others will expect you to be the same.
   
7. Join clubs, societies, sports events, drama groups -- anything that might help you meet like-minded potential partners. You will not meet people by staying indoors and playing video games – many have tried and failed at this approach.
   
8. Take time off from dating occasionally if it’s not going well or causing dating fatigue. Recharging your batteries and keeping confidence and optimism levels high is an absolute must. We all hit rough patches, but don’t let your search for love become a death march. Date in phases if necessary.
   
9. Enjoy dating for what it is, dating. It is meeting people and socializing and spending time in the company of stimulating individuals who may or may not play a bigger part in your life down the road. The fact is, most people have something interesting to offer. While you may not be out on the dating scene looking for new friends, you may well find one or two fabulous people along the way.
   
10. Never make yourself too available. People like mystery and enigma and the thrill of the chase when dating. As part of keeping up the mystery, do not sleep with your dates early on. The longer a person is made to chase and fall for you within reason, the more likely that love may blossom. (And yes, this goes for both men AND women!) If the chemistry peaks too early, your emotions may never have time to catch up and the relationship will eventually wither away.

MEESHIE'S TOP 10 DATING TIPS!

1. Before you leave the house, make sure you do a BOOGER CHECK.

2. Plan an escape route just in case the date goes bad. **Useful if it is a blind date** Believe me I've had my share of horrid set ups 0_0 Get a friend to call you and tell you that you HAVE to go because there are plenty of socks that need to be ironed IMMEDIATELY. They'll understand

3. Pop a mint just before you meet up. Nobody likes stanky janky breaf.

4. Chivalry is always nice. Make sure you can afford the date. If she's the type that offers to pay, still insist on picking up the tab, but let her have her way.

5. Don't brag about how you saved 11.2 orphans from a small town during a killer volcanic eruption all the while solving world hunger. Nobody likes a brag.

6. Laugh at all her jokes. Even if they're corny as hell. Although most corny jokes are still funny...and smile at her..

7. Don't check out other chicks while you're on your date. If there's a noticeably hotter chick, ex. the waitress, minimal eye contact with the hotness. Pay attention to your date so that she sees that you're not easily distracted.

8. Oh, before the date, find out what type of places she's into. Pick a place that she'd be interested in. Make sure it's not too "outdoorsy" or "activity filled"- unless it's that kind of date. We like to get dressed up, and don't exactly want to go rock climbing in heels.

9. Back to chivalry. Open and close car doors for her. Don't pull none of that reaching over the seat and unlocking the door crap. And when you go to pick her up for your date, give her the semi-open-mouth-wow-face and tell her she looks gorgeous. If the date went 'okay' but you're not really feelin her, and possibly want a 2nd date to see if things get better, particularly because the 2 of you were nervous, end the date with a kiss on the cheek. If the date goes really well and you both know that you're into each other and are looking forward to seeing each other again, take her face lightly by the chin and give her a sweet, semi passionate kiss. Leave her wanting a bit more, so that she'll still be in a dream like state as she walks through her door. If the date went REALLY REALLY WELL, and you both wanna get laid, well by all means, get to it skippy! the hell you waiting for??

10. Lastly, BE YOURSELF-but if you're a dooshbag, DON'T BE YOURSELF, or else you ain't gettin laid that night.

LOL

**DISCLAIMER** All ideas are solely based on experiences and are suggestions. Not held liable for failed dates and/or pregnancies that may occur during the term. Don't forget your jimmy cap.

lmao @ meesh, that was some list there..
especially this:

5. Don't brag about how you saved 11.2 orphans from a small town during a killer volcanic eruption all the while solving world hunger. Nobody likes a brag.

Lol thats some corny ass line if a guy actually says that in real life.. desperation at its best! LOL @ ur disclaimer as well; "not responsible for any pregnancy"

"8. Oh, before the date, find out what type of places she's into. Pick a place that she'd be interested in. Make sure it's not too "outdoorsy" or "activity filled"- unless it's that kind of date. We like to get dressed up, and don't exactly want to go rock climbing in heels. "



Omg... I would prefer a guy any day who would like to go hiking or having a picnic. I'm sick of the same routines : Eating out, movies/mall, and then dessert for ice cream or something. A guy who actually can have fun without spending so much money in the beginning of the relationship is amazing. That means he can be fun no matter where the next outing would be. I don't know maybe I am probably old school, but kind of makes me feel like he is paying me to be with him. So why not guys go feed the duckies with girls it honestly isn't a crime to a relationship

i want a guy that cute and does sweet things for me all the time without been asked too

Yeah I agree with this, it's better to show a girl how to have fun rather then flashing money in her face with gifts or expensive events. Those are actions of a desperate man, I say, give it some time, let her deserve it so then nobody can bitch about how they spent so much money on this one chick who wasn't worth it.

That would be nice May! But, sometimes when a guy does too much good things for you they expect something out of you. Which, I have experienced as fail relationships.

Yup, a guy who can spend the time to actually understand the girl and find out for what she is worth in the long run is better. I hate being expected to do something special, just because the guy is paying for me. I have my own money its' not like I am poor or something.

I like old fashioned dates..ie dinner..movies..once in awhile but I prefer something unique and fun as well. Something different. Shows how much of a good time 2 people can have together interacting-actively! and then perhaps interacting actively afterward as well!

Lol meesh you literally make me blush!!

Tip #11

Don't date on Playstation Home. Just because she looks like Chun Li on Home doesn't mean she really LOOKS like Chun Li irl. jk I kid I kid...

Anyways, joking aside. I need to find a girl who will buy me a new Playstation 3 because mines broke. I prefer a new 250 GB slim and possibly Gran Turismo 5 also hint hint, wink wink. And w/o having to do any sexual favors in exchange.

^This shows how bored I am w/o a PS3 :l

THAT guy can be found right here!
<<<<<<<<<<

lol ben

lmao a guy though who doesn't brag is a sweety!! I know from experience i hated hearing stories of a guy's amazingness.. Its like they do what they do for the praise and want the praise now from you as well =/

Lol, it's ok for people to share some of their accomplishments..KEYWORD: SOME, haha, but hearing someone ramble on and on about themselves isn't so attractive. And one-up'ing is just as bad. It's definitely okay to share a little something, and then in turn, asking the other person a bit about themselves to continue ongoing conversation. Just as long as both parties are involved and it's not one person doing all the talking

True true.., but there are certain stuff you just do not need to know. Like what the previous ex-girlfriend like.. Well honestly that previous gf is not like me.. so in hellz no will I praise the certain stuff she loved about him Q.Q

Well yea of course! There are definitely some things that you shouldn't mention- rambling about your ex isn't a great conversation piece. I wouldn't consider that an accomplishment..or else..they wouldn't sitting there with you talking about it if it were. LOL
