If you could give only one dating advice what would it be?

[Anonymous]

Mine is: get to know yourself fully and love yourself as you are with your strengths and weaknesses before you start dating. It will save you from a lot of pain. Otherwise more experienced people or predatory ones will take advantage of it and walk all over you.

Don’t date sex workers, or “models” on social media. Also, avoid first dates where you have to go pay for something. Take her to do something free where she will show you who she is, and forces her.. both of you to have to communicate with each other. It will also weed out the ones that just want something from you. Which is almost half of all dates you go on with women. It will lower the amount of women that will give you a second date, but that’s what you want. The ones that will will be like pure gold

Be honest and up front with any potential partners from the beginning. If you have incompatible morals, pasts, log term life goals, etc. it won't work out in the long run, so why waste either person's time.

Guard your heart, meaning don’t allow yourself to fall in love blindly. Pay attention to the things your partner says and does because sometimes red flags start off small. Don’t be afraid to listen to the advice of people who are older and wiser.

Be honest.

I think people bond the best when they are honest and when they get accepted while being so raw and honest to another person.

[AviatorTom]

Simple... always be yourself, no false pretenses or trying to impress.

[Little_Bumblebee]

Yours is good and I 100% would also say that.

So my second one is, don't pretend you're someone you're not. You won't find the right person for you if you are not yourself. And eventual your mask will slip and crack in the fake relationship will form and heart break would be inevitable.

Treat her as a lady should be treated with respect courtesy, and show her a wonderful pleasant evening and be yourself always, a gentleman and have fun

[NathanDavis]

be honest with yourself... first and foremost

this is the only way in which you can be the most genuine to others...

[lightbulb27]

100% right. that is not necessarily easy done without dating. You need contrast and discovery to look further inside yourself. So my advice would be... keep pen and paper handy to write down the emotions, thoughts as you discover.

[Asker]

Oh yeah very true also, unfortunately sometimes you need the pain to open your eyes

[Nikki1989]

Date often and never settle till you find the right person.

[RebelinSteel]

Be realistic. Some people expect the other person to be perfect without flaws, to match the social media high level. I could also say, be realistic of each other, as it applies to both sides. Everyone has some negative, physical or mental.

[CarolineW]

Avoid internet dating apps - that's a dangerous place to be. People can hide behind whatever identity they like.

[IslaTheWitch]

take your time

getting to know people needs time and different situations...

[Altheavas]

Don’t settle, don’t take no shit from insecure idiots, and play the game with no regrets.
As long as you got nothing to loose, if you do, just be smarter about it.

[love_conquers_lust]

Don't go to a movie on a first date unless you plan on talking with each other afterwards. Movies are for teenagers who want to make out, which I've done, not for adults who need to get to know one another.

[Static_In_The_Attic]

As for me I always say if you never try you will never know & that applies to dating as well.

[elaphe]

Don't let anyone talk you into anything you are not comfortable with.

[Jmmmfi4]

IM THE LAST PERSON WHO SHOULD BE GIVING ANYONE RELATIONSHIP ADVICE

[Jennz6]

You are absolutely correct 💯

[Alex-Snow]

I would say just to be honest

[OddBeMe]

Stop focusing on sex, it’s incidental.

[SunnyRS]

Be vigilant.

[MaxUsefull]

Be yourself

[SotiCoto]

Don't.
