Old Fashioned Dating Tips That You Should Stop Following This Very Moment (5 of 5)

Guard your territory

Being too possessive or territorial is a bit unattractive no doubt. One way to get out of this is by talking and sharing how you feel about the actions of your partner. But making them feel restricted isn’t what you both signed for. Clarity: A bit of jealousy is totally normal and acceptable but you don’t stop them from interacting with the other people and feel insecure all the time.

Marrying at an early age is good

The millennials focus on many more aspects of life rather than marriage. They have their concerns regarding their career and whatnot. Jumping into things fast isn’t bad but maybe too risky which will cost you your relationship. So think before making major decisions in a relationship.

The Man is supposed to pick you up

Being a gentleman and picking up the lady for the date is all good. But thinking it’s your responsibility being a man is a total no-no! I think it’s much more attractive for you to pick up your partner if you are a girl and even meeting directly at the venue is totally fine.

Constantly play hard to get

In the olden times, women used to play hard to get in order to seem more attractive and more in control. They were taught to hide their affection for long and give the partner all the time to persuade them. Do you honestly think this is any more helpful? In a world where people have fast lives and prefer honesty? Today, you don’t want to act as a win to be chased by your partner but be in a relationship where feelings of both are known. And being shy or playing hard to get sends mixed signals and is risky. Men will prefer not to go with this because they know now that “no means no”. So go out there, say what you feel when you are sure and that’s how you do it!

Losers use dating apps, Men approach in the real world

What taboo! A place where more than half of the adults use dating apps, you are telling me dating apps aren’t worth it. It has become so much easier for people to meet partners from different places which isn’t usual in daily life. Also, it is so helpful for older people or millennials who don’t prefer to pick their dates from a bar or club.

There’s absolutely no harm in meeting people online…

Let the male partner make the first move

If you are a guy, sorry for so much pressure on you! Now is not the time when you should avoid making the first move girl! In the age of online dating, sliding into DMs to express your interest is much better than wait for the other to take the initiative. Some men out there even prefer forward women more. You don’t come out as too desperate, so chill. What is the worst thing that could happen to you? Just that the person you admire would say ‘no’ but knowing that you put yourself in the dating world, it isn’t always merry. And if they can’t handle your forwardness, please let them go and be thankful that you aren’t with them.

And the most important of all, good manners never go out of fashion. So, always give respect, be kind, considerate towards other’s feelings and do what you wish to do. Don’t pay much heed to society’s expectations and rules. What matters is you and your happiness as I mentioned before. Happy Dating!
