What advice would you give to someone who has never dated in their whole life?

To try it out and to just be yourself. Your first date might not be your best date that you will go on but on the other hand your first date might be the most awesome date you will go on. Have you tried any of the dating apps or have you met anyone you fancy through mutual friends? I would also say to try to keep the conversation going and ask a lot of questions. The more things you have in common the better the date will probably be. Try to get your date to laugh and show a sense of humor, this can be done through jokes, different videos, anything you find funny. The more nervous you are the more nervous your date most likely will feel so keep that in mind. Try to not be so touchy because some people don't like that, however do feel it out if they would like to be touchy. Some people will initiate contact and some won't, that doesn't mean that if someone doesn't they don't like you. Try to do something fun for the first date. Maybe the thing you have in common make that an outing. An arcade or a hike or mini golf are good ones. Something that requires time but is also not super long. I hope that helps!

You just described my ideal date! Thank you ☺️ I am not into dating apps personally, I’d rather meet someone randomly!

I would tell them to not worry. There's still so much time left to date that not having prior experience doesn't make them less desirable inherently. I would also tell them not to compromise on what's important to them, to think about what's important to them, and not feel pressured to do things, sacrifice things, or talk about things that they don't want to do or that make them uncomfortable. I find many people feel obligated to do or say things even if they don't want to because saying no might lead to rejection, being undesirable, or loneliness.

Amazing advice as usual. I feel like we feel so pressure to date and be desirable in our 20s. Your second phrase hits different...

I'm happy it helped you ^__^

Do they want to date? Then they need to make themselves available, either by finding activities that will put them in contact with people they might want to date, or by searching online.

Yes they’d like that. They are known for being friendly and very sociable. Their aura makes others feel loved and appreciated. They have the most selfless aura. But by doing so, they never put themselves in the spotlight and rarely/never attract anyone romantically. They are a pursuer instead of a puller.
