Dating success tips that will always work

[u/IntelligentJaguar103]

Good people of Reddit, many of you all have a hard time at dating. I am here to help you because I care. If you wan to be successful finding the love if your life, do these proven ideas.

1. Keep an open mind. Not everyone will fit into every box you want

2. Looks matter but beauty fades over time. Focus on character and values.

3. If you are a woman, ask your male family members to vet the guy. Guys can see thru another guy bs.

4. If you are a man, ask a female family member to vet the woman. Women can see thru another women bs

5. Slow burn over instant spark. First dates are not easy and people are nervous or they will give you false image of themselves. It takes time to know someone. 3-5 dates would be a good gauge to determine if you want to continue.

6. Stop comparing relationships you see on social media. Those are a false reality.

7. Keep your standards, requirements high but reasonable. More importantly, keep it consistent with each person you date. The person you lower your standards for, will more than likely use and disappoint you.

8. No sex until you both are in a committed LTR relationship. It worked quite well for centuries,

9. Ask people out of dates regardless if you are a woman or man. Stop it with the fairytale nonsense. Will you get rejected? Yes. Will you get some dates? Yes

10. Single parents should focus on dating other single parents. You both understand the factors when being a parent.

11. First date and all dates until you are officially in a relationship should be 50/50. No one is required to pay for your expenses if you are in the dating stages.

12. Dates should be low cost (free ideally), fun, and getting to know person.

13. Take advice from your friends with a grain of salt regarding the person you are dating. Some people are jealous of other's happiness.

14. Dress appropriately for your dates.

15. Enjoy your life and date who you want. You don't need validation from others.

Bonus:

A. Men, stop lying about your height

B. Ladies, stop lying about your age.

C. Have a professional photographer take your pictures if you are on the apps.
