Dating is an important social skill to learn, and it’s one that doesn’t come naturally to everyone. But don’t worry—you can learn dating skills and become better at dating with the right advice. The following five tips will help you master the dating game, whether you’re single or in a relationship!
1) Have a clear goal of what type of partner/relationship you are looking for
If you want to avoid unfulfilling relationships, it’s important that you decide ahead of time what sort of partner/relationship you are looking for. It’s important not just for keeping yourself from getting entangled with someone who isn’t a good fit, but also for setting yourself up for finding a partner who is. If your relationship goal is casual or if you aren’t too concerned about whom you end up with, then it will be easy for any kind of person (or no one at all) to get involved with. However, if your relationship goal is long-term and serious, it will be easier to attract someone who wants those things as well.
2) Know yourself
Too often, we let our insecurities get in the way of having honest and open conversations with people we’re interested in. And it makes sense—dating, even if it doesn’t lead anywhere, can be scary. But part of being a good dater is knowing yourself: Your interests, your preferences, and your values are things you should consider. While dating websites or apps make it easy to connect with people online, they won’t give you much insight into whether there’s actually any chemistry between you two. If you have a face-to-face conversation about what you’re looking for (and what your deal breakers are), you'll avoid disappointment.
3) Approach new people with confidence
With dating, it’s easy to be a little shy at first. The trick is that confidence goes a long way. So don’t hold back: Approach someone you’re interested in with a smile and say hello. If you’re not sure how he or she will respond, make sure your body language says you are happy, self-assured, and comfortable in your own skin (i.e., stand up straight). These are qualities most people look for when meeting new people. If you can keep your own awkwardness in check, chances are you'll get along just fine—and if all else fails at least you'll have fun giving it a shot!
4) Look your best
First impressions count, so make sure you’re always looking your best. Visit a salon for some professional pampering, or if you are really feeling adventurous then do it yourself with a home facial mask and a hot tub! Looking and feeling your best will not only help you attract more potential suitors but also aid in boosting your self-confidence. Self-confidence is key in dating – when you know you look good and feel great, you’ll be able to focus on having fun instead of worrying about what others think of you. Everyone loves an attractive date that they don’t have to put any effort into impressing!
5) Follow up
If your date seems interested, follow up. More often than not, you'll have something in common that you can talk about or a mutual friend or acquaintance. When you introduce yourself by saying I'm Jane, for example, don't be surprised if he says: You know my friend Sally. Can I give her your number? Find an excuse to find out what his interests are; keep him talking about himself. It's a great way of showing interest and it demonstrates that you care enough to listen and engage. He'll appreciate that. If he doesn't ask for your number (or e-mail address), make sure he has it before leaving – but only as much information as he needs!
