It's time to admit that new ways of dating, which were not in the days of our mothers and grandmothers, cause distrust among many. For some, dating apps seem simply unconvincing, and someone would like to meet their love by the will of fate, and not by choosing among unfamiliar candi
Someone claims that there are more divorces in couples who met online than in ordinary ones. In any case, you may be interested in a few old-fashioned tips that still work and may come in handy for those who are in search of love.
Try to spend time in the company
Spend more time with friends and acquaintances. This will take the pressure off your dates because your life will be filled with memorable events anyway. Practice socializing, discover your strengths, develop interests, and pursue new hobbies. Don't focus only on love affairs, allow yourself to see life in its entirety.
Don't look for a date
It may seem to you that the ideal first date should take place in a cafe or at the cinema, but your mothers and grandmothers can tell you about a wonderful meeting at the institute, at work, and even in the yard, which eventually turned into a wedding and a happy marriage. Take a closer look at those around you, and who you can learn more about from mutual acquaintances, before diving into the world of blind dating with strangers.
Don't get hung up on external requirements
In the age of social media, looks can be more deceiving than usual. Don't get hung up on ideas about what you think the perfect gentleman looks like. Instead of external requirements, it is better to focus on the character and interests of a man. They can greatly increase its attractiveness in your eyes.
Don't overemphasize words
Supporters of old-fashioned ways of dating assure us that paying attention to words at the very beginning of dating can be unwise. At the first meeting, strangers can experience and say something completely different from what they think. In addition, you should not be discouraged by the fact that the man you like may not know either your favorite director or yesterday's news. Those who believe in romance believe that it is acquired. It is more important to pay attention to actions.
Allow yourself intimacy when you feel like it (signs your wife just slept with someone else).
Psychologists recommend not to fill your head with "working" schemes that are full of websites and blogs about relationships. You don't have to wait a certain number of dates to decide on intimacy if that's what you want. And in the same way, you should not force yourself to get close to a person if you are not ready for this. Listen to your feelings and discard the scripts churned out by self-proclaimed relationship experts. Behind them, you risk not taking into account the real feeling.
Don't rush to leave.
Many couples are in a hurry to combine life, but it is better to postpone this step until you are sure of your choice. Allow yourself more romance, expectations, and joy in meetings. After all, you are unlikely to wait until the moment when you wash the dishes together or take out the trash.
If you're not in love, go away.
After a certain amount of time, you will have to make a serious decision. You can be crazy about your partner's talents, admire his intelligence or social position, or be crazy about his courtship, but honestly answer the question if you are in love with this person. Sooner or later you will meet a person who will make you feel like he is the one, the only one. So isn't it better to stop wasting time on a man who doesn't evoke strong feelings in you, deceiving both him and yourself?
