Top Tips On Learning How To Date Like An Adult by hyman9ja(m): 7:16pm On Feb 08, 2017
Many schools of thought have different ways and ideas about relationships and how it should be even books, movies and authors have written so many things about the subject and that is because love is a strong force that can bring not just two people together but even nations. Love has the tonic and ability to quench conflicts and harmonizes families and love once, once in motion it unites to partner and a new world is born. Below are 10 Tips on learning how to date like and adult.


# Don’t stay in the past.

The first thing people need to learn when it comes to dating as an adult is that this will be an entirely new experience so don’t compare the person you’re dating to past relationships. You don’t want to compete with the ghosts of your significant other’s past so don’t put them through the same comparison process. Also don’t compare yourself to how you were in past relationships, either. Learn from the past, but move on from it.

# Don’t be pressured

If you’re just starting out, it’s good to go out on group dates where there’s less pressure or meet the person at events where there will be lots of people. You don’t have to start out with the whole flowers and dinner kind of date. Go bowling or play laser tag or volunteer together. If it doesn’t end up working out with them, at least you had a good time.

# Don’t let your relationship define you.

Love as adults aren't obsessing over the other person the way you would over your favorite TV show or sports team. Adult love means that we come into the relationship as ourselves and the best kind of love is one where we maintain our authenticity and integrity. You shouldn’t bend over backward to try and please the person you’re with. Real love is the kind where the one we love stands beside us instead of making our choices for us or trying to take the parts of us that they like and putting the rest of us in a box. If the person you’re dating seems to be a control freak, get out of that relationship ASAP!

# Just because you want a relationship doesn't make you entitled to have one
Let’s say that you have a crush on somebody and you’ve had feelings for them for a long time. Then you ask them out only for them to turn you down. As someone who’s been “friendzoned,” here’s some advice. When the person you want rejects you, you have to accept it and move on. Don’t beg or lash out at them or take your anger out on someone you see as “competition.” Your heart is going to break, but you can’t hate a person for not wanting you.

# It’s okay to avoid your ex(s).
If you had a particularly awkward rejection or particularly sucky breakup, you do not have to talk to your ex if you run into them somewhere. On a related note, don’t stalk them on social media either. Defriend and unfollow ASAP from every social media you have connected with them. Delete their number. You can’t heal from the hurt if you keep thinking about the person who caused it...Read More Here >>> http://lovefac3..com.ng/2017/02/top-tips-on-learning-how-to-date-like.html
