Toxic Dating Habits You Should Leave In 2020

If you haven’t seen a lot of action in your dating life, you shouldn’t blame it all on bad luck. The most likely reason for your unsuccessful dating streak is a slew of toxic dating habits that you keep on repeating.

Toxic Dating Habits You Need To Stop ASAP

Over and over you keep on doing the same mistake. This turned into a habit and then the habit turned into a dating rut that you’re currently stuck in. Don’t worry because there are always ways out of a rut. Here are our suggestions:

1. Don’t empower your preference list too much.

We all have a list that we refer to from time to time. This list contains all of the traits and characteristics we want our future partner to possess. Although there’s nothing wrong with the list because it serves as a reminder of our standards. But, we sometimes refuse to be flexible with the people we meet. Who cares if your date has black hair instead of blonde?

2. Investing too much, too soon.

Whenever we like someone, we usually make sure that they know it right away. We show it through our words or through our actions. Well, in 2021, you need let go of this habit and really take your time to get to know a person before you invest too much of yourself. Take things slower before you actually decide to give the majority your emotions, time and effort.

3. Not taking rejection very well.

Some connections work, some connections won’t. That’s just the way it is when you date online and offline. Not all of the people you meet will be ideal for you or will be willing to enter into a relationship with you. It’s a harsh reality that you need to accept as soon as possible.

4. Being unwilling to step out of your dating comfort zone.

So we already talked about preferences on the first item on this list. Now, you have to be open to stepping out of your comfort zone. This means that you need to be open to trying new things and not just meeting new types of people. For example, if you’re more comfortable with meeting at restaurants, change it up and meet at local cafes or even at parks and museums. The point is for you to try something new, dating-wise.

5. Spend more time developing your profile.

We’ve been through this last year. You need to improve your online dating profile so you can turn more heads. Start with your photos. Take professionals ones and then take down the old ones that show you in a bad light.

These are just some of the toxic dating habits that you need to let go of before the year ends. Be honest with yourself, you know you’re guilty doing some of the habits on the list above. However, you can always do something about it. Make it your new year’s resolution. For more dating tips, check out more on our blog.

Dating Rules We All Need To Break This Year

It’s 2021. Some of us really need to update the dating rules they know and follow. It’s true that there are rules that will remain classic, but others have really changed. If you can’t get with the times, this might be why you don’t have much luck in your dating pursuits lately.

Update Your Knowledge By Dropping These Outdated Dating Rules

For you to level up your game, you have to stay updated. Start with your dating rules. Below, we’ve listed down some rules that you should definitely drop ASAP:

1. No Kissing On The First Date

Whoever made this dating rule? When you spend an evening with someone wonderful, it’s only natural for you to want to act on the electricity you feel. The person you’re with might just feel the same too. Give into it.

2. Three Is A Crowd

If you’re comfortable taking other people on your first date, go ahead. Just make sure that the other person knows about it and that he or she is OK with it. Remember that your first date is for testing chemistry. If you hit it off, always remember you can get to know each other on the second date.

3. Dress To Impress

You don’t have to wear your best suit to go on a date. This isn’t to say that you can wear your gym clothes. Nope. All you have to do is dress appropriately and look like you put a bit of effort into your look. Contrary to what you may be thinking, a simple outfit is acceptable.

4. 3-Day Rule

Whoever said that you need to wait three days before you text someone after a first date is old-fashioned. If you truly like someone, it’s important that you support it with your actions. It’s going to be a bit weird for your date, wondering if you’re going to text or not when you’ve had a great night. Don’t wait, if you want to, text right after you say goodbye to each other, why not?

These four dating rules are basic, but they will help you get a second date, and hopefully, change your perspective about what dating is like today. For more updates on modern dating, read more posts on our blog.

I am reading Tolstoy right now and I am loving every word. What’s the best book that you’ve read so far?

Something Random

Life Motto Or Philosophy

Is there a quote from a book that you live by? Include it in your account. For example:

Not all who wander are lost.

I travel the world because I am searching for myself. Each place I visit, I discover something different about me.

Favorites

Meeting new people, going trail running, fishing, riding a bike, looking at sunsets – these are what I like to do the most. I hope to share them with someone special soon.

Online Dating Resolutions You Need To Make In 2021

Have you made your dating resolutions already? It’s not the end of the year yet, but you might as well get an early start. Here’s your chance to take a look at your dating accomplishments (or the lack thereof) and see exactly what you can improve.

2021 Online Dating Resolutions To Start The Year Right

Let’s look back at your online dating timeline this 2020. Be honest, do you think that you dated well this year? If your love life is flourishing, the answer may be yes. Even if you’re not with anyone, you could still say yes to this question when exciting things are happening. Otherwise, you need to consider the dating resolutions below:

1. Work On Your Conversation Skills

How many times have you asked the question “How was your weekend?” It’s not a bad question to ask but there are plenty of other topics that you can talk about. Practice with your friends. Seriously, your friends (female ones) can tell you exactly what every girl wants to talk about.

2. Work On Your Profile Pictures

Haven’t you read? You need decent profile pictures to snag a potential online date‘s attention. This means no pictures inside the bathroom, no pictures with your friends (only you), no pictures with your family, and no cropped pictures of poor quality. You know who you can ask to help you pick photos for your dating profile? Your female friends, again.

3. Make A Habit Of Setting A Specific Date & Time For Dates

Instead of messaging back and forth, try to make a habit out of proposing a set date and time to meet. For example, if both you and your online date agreed that it’s time to meet, tell her that you’re going to meet at this restaurant, on Friday at this time. A man who knows what he wants and is ready to take charge has always been sexy in a lot of females’ eyes.

These dating resolutions that you need to work on are very basic and are easy to do. We made it this way so you’re more likely to follow through before the new year even starts.
