What Dating Advice Would You Give Your Younger Self?

I'll go first.

1. Dating won't fix your life. Do the inner work first.

I know we grew up with this idea that at one point in our lives we all will meet “the One”. Apparently, the love of another will heal us into a happy ever after. Though, that's just not the case.

Relationships do not fill voids.
Love doesn’t solve all your problems.

The most important relationship is the one you have with yourself. That's where everything begins. Remember that you are a priority. When you love yourself, when you know your worth and value, when you know for a fact that you are enough, then you make wiser decisions in dating.

As a result, you develop boundaries and standards, you know what you want and what you won't tolerate.

2. Stay away from anyone who creates confusion.

You deserve to know where you stand. You are worth more than games and uncertainty.

Stop trying to understand and decode all the mixed signals; guys playing hot and cold, disappearing for days or weeks, or even months. Or the men telling you they miss you and that they do want to see you, yet they never make an attempt to set up a date.

Men reveal themselves in their actions and if they are not contacting you, looking to see you, or trying to spend time with you, relatively quickly, then they are not going to.

Yes, they may like you. They like you enough to spend time with you and sleep with you, but a relationship? That's where they draw the line.

It's true that we teach people how to treat us, so if a casual arrangement is not what you are looking for, you may have to walk away. Remember he can always try to chase you down and ask you for a second chance. If he doesn't you didn't lose anything, you actually saved time.

3. Don't expect a man to change or try to change them.

This one is a hard one to learn and accept. Because we, with our kind hearts, think we can help him be the best version of himself. Believing that if we are just patient, understanding, and supportive enough, then he would change for us because why wouldn't he, right?

We can’t have a relationship dependent upon someone changing for us. What you have is what you get. Accept the true colors that people show you. Nothing less, nothing more.

If you need them to change, they are not your person.

To finalize: don’t be so hard on yourself.

I always tell my friends, be kind and gentle with others, but even more kind and gentle to yourself.

Be good to yourself. I can’t stress this enough. If you can’t treat yourself well and love yourself, why would you expect a guy to? — Natalie Lue.

Dating is a process, it is not a race. And it's really not about finding “the One”, it's about finding someone who wants what you want, who wants to be on the same page.

Yes, people find love when they are not looking for it and also when they are looking for it. Both statements are true. So you simply might as well just live your best life and who knows maybe while doing so you meet the right match.
