dating tips that “kind” of work? meep.

  1.  Don’t be picky. Have standards, but you aren’t going to meet Prince Charming. You’re not even going to meet people you’re really, really attracted to most of the time. So base your judgments on how desperate you are, and whether or not he’ll actually take you to dinner.
  2. But don’t always expect dinner. You can bitch all you want about how guys aren’t gentlemen, but honestly, they’re probably just as anxious as you are- who wouldn’t want to get slightly bombed and keep it casual the first time you “go out”? This way, you have an easy out, hopefully you get free drinks, and if not, you get to rant to your friends about what an asshole he was the next day.
  3. Laugh it off. You’re going to have bad dates. People aren’t going to be as attractive as you remembered. He might actually be a huge loser. IT’S NOT YOU, it’s him, so try to not get so sore about it. Wouldn’t you feel slightly easy (and lame) (and desperate) if you were obsessed with everyone you dated, anyways?
  4. Just because you’ve been on two dates doesn’t mean it’s going anywhere. Most likely, it never will. Actually, he’s probably dating three other people, so get on that.
  5. Don’t be obsessed with finding a boyfriend. Because you probably won’t, and you’re probably annoying the shit out of your friends. We’re all in the same boat, so stop complaining. And if being in a relationship is your sole purpose of dating, you need to reevaluate, um, everything.
  6. Enjoy yourself. Getting to know people is fun, even with all the hijinks that are certain to ensue. Take every opportunity to grow, absorb, and share your own pleasures and thoughts. And take advantage of any free meal you can.
  7. Know that you deserve everything, but expect nothing. You’ll never be disappointed, but you will be pleasantly surprised.
