10 Dating Tips you need to Follow While still Single

1. Finding a romantic partner is only one of many

goals you can have at once. There's a difference
between making something a priority and having an
obsession. No one wants to be the Captain Ahab of
the dating world.
2. When you like a guy, and your mutual friends
have multiple anecdotes about him projectile

vomiting after excessive drinking, you need to
rethink the infatuation.

You didn't like it when your
godson hurled on you, and he was a toddler.
3. It's not about getting someone to think you're
good enough for them. It’s about finding someone
you can stand to spend a ridiculous amount of time
with. It's about finding the puzzle piece you fit
with and the Ernie to your Bert.

4. Work on your gaydar. It'll make your life much
easier.
5. Sometimes boyfriends have little annoying
habits. And sometimes they have small behaviors
that indicate a complete lack of respect. If you
wouldn't let your friend's sweetie talk to her that
way , don't put up with it yourself.
6. If you're bored out of your mind at the local bar
on Saturday night, you're probably not going to
meet anyone there who's going to liven up your
evening. Instead of downing an extra cocktail to
numb the ennui, think of somewhere else to go next
weekend that you might actually enjoy. If your
friends don't want to join you, go anyway.
7. Stop worrying about potential paramours
rejecting you for being too fat, too short, too
whatever. It's entirely possible that you would've
had to reject them for never having seen Star Wars
(your essential piece of pop culture may vary)
anyway. People who simply are "not the right fit"
exist. The sooner you weed them out of your life,
the happier you'll be.
8. Go to movies by yourself. The same goes for
museums, parks and concerts. When you're part of a
couple, you miss being free to follow your every
whim. Being unattached means not having to
compromise on your plans.
9. A first date is not an audition for marriage. It's
just a tryout for a second date. No one ever fell in
love while analyzing every detail of their momentous
first meeting.
10. If a man says that he's too damaged for you
(or too neurotic, or too anything), just take his
word for it. Even if it is his low self-esteem talking,
you're not going to be able to fix him. And it's
probably just a euphemism for "I'm just not feeling
it."
