What’s the best dating advice you ever got?

[Summeroflove]

[Effably]

Best? Probably to stop waiting. Hard to listen to that one even if it is likely the best advice any of us will ever get. Not just in dating.

Most useful to me? Try to practice flirting! Once I got used to the little intricacies, the game of it, the smirks and winks and all else and took control over it? Learned how to create those special moments at will? That was empowering. Few things hit as well as being able to make the pretty girl blush on command, or hey if that fails, her boyfriend. Not where I fall myself, but certainly fun.

if you can't show a girl who you truly are then that girl can never truly understand just how much you mean to her, the longer you tolerate abuse the lower your standards become, and finally dont lower you standards and expectations instead make them raise theirs to meet yours

[DishLady]

There’s conflicting advice I’ve gotten over the years, sometimes about the same fellow to, which is funny.


But… I think the best one (partly bc I wish it was in me to do it and partially bc it would LOOK hilarious) is to “get out there and claim your man… grab him by the collar and just tell him. Bc he seems pretty stupid.”


Obvi the guy’s not stupid… a smart guy and all that. But when it comes to women something in his brain stops working and all systems shut down.

[xcheerleader_jessx]

Tbh, it wasn't advice. It was something I learned myself. Focus on yourself and eventually someone will come. I had just broken up with someone and I was hurt deeply. So I "gave up" in finding someone. That made me just focus on myself and get over the pain. Within a couple of months I met the longest relationship I ever had. Something happens when you are not looking for someone. I think it's like cats. When a human doesn't care to pet them, they come to you😂

[Zack-Bann]

Don’t keep your roofie stash in the glove compartment


Oh wait no that was another kind of advice


Although the real advice wasn’t far off
My little brother told me once
“By simply keeping a gun in your pocket you are asking to get into a gun fight”


It’s a metaphor that basically means keep my house clean, keep myself clean, stay stocked on contraceptives etc…
Because unless I do that I will never end up on a date or in any kind of romantic situation

"Just because a man is nice, it doesn't mean he likes you."

I didn't believe it at first, in fact I thought they were attracted to me. I've learned the hard way that they had gfs. Plus they were younger. Now I'm just thankful if anyone is nice to me and don't think anything else.

[LiamJHayden]

"Don't get one-itis." In other words, don't develop a mindset where you believe that only one person is a fit for you. People waste months, years, decades trapped by that. eight billion people on the planet. There are likely thousands of nearly ideal partners for each of us.

[FoxyFatale]

The best advice I got is to never settle for someone who doesn’t value or respect you!

[Summeroflove]

Agreed.

[Hellraiser1984]

Never date someone from the upper class unless you are upper class. I know from experience that's what my paternal grandparents did and I pay for to this day at 41 years old. I'm disowned and so is my father, mother and sister. We are "not good enough for them". I don't exist.

[unknowngurll1212]

a relationship at your age isn't as serious as you think it is. Take a relationship slow to make sure feelings are real from both sides. Don't mistake lust and infatuation for love ( well.. im just 18 )

[Unap0logetic_]

Never to assume that just because someone is talking to you they’re interested in you.

[Pohjolan]

That's like common sense.

[Summeroflove]

That’s true but many people take anything as a sign. But it’s odd that when someone clearly does like them it has the opposite effect of going over their head

[Summeroflove]

@Pohjolan it sounds like it but many people are being nice and may genuinely like someone just fine as a human being. But isn’t interested romantically.

Also if someone’s working they have to be professional it’s their job. Some people will sit there talking to girls either in service or retail who are just being nice. Same with coworkers if you’re rude to someone you could get written up for toxic work environment.

[Summeroflove]

It happens to men too though. With women it tends to happen early on and with men. It tends to happens with females who been friends for a while start getting the wrong idea

[Anonymous]

I was told only put forth the effort with her that she's willing to put forth with you. If she really wants to know you, to possibly date you. She WILL put forth effort. If not you're just a toy to her. This simple bit of advice has served me well for years.

[lightbulb27]

Do not ever put a stick into a hornets nest or you'll find out.

That applies to other things as well...

Now regarding fixing that lawn mower...

[exitseven]

I had a friend who used to ask out every girl he thought was interesting. He got turned down a lot but he dated a lot of girls. I was very shy around girls and was afraid to ask somebody on a date. He told me that the worst thing that can happen is that they say no.

[MySunflowerSophia]

Love is like a race. You just keep on running in your lane and he has to be the one to catch up. Never slow down.

[lorenzomichael]

I don’t know about dating advice, but when I was 14, my brother told me when I kiss a girl I should her hand on my penis. But he was a little too late because of the year before the chick down the street she was 17. She took me down. All summer long. I thought it was because I was able to play guitar. I didn’t know I was a cute little boy. It was a good summer.

[Nikki1989]

It is very rare to hear any dating advice that makes any sense.

[Justneedtokno]

Be patient be kind to yourself be The best person in version of yourself and someone will find you in the process of you finding someone else

[NicholasRedone]

@Summeroflove public place populated with lots of people 👀👀👀👀👀👁️👁️👁️

[NicholasRedone]

@Summeroflove "date ladies with short hair" - not like a man's ; for a banging good time for a lifetime 🫦👄👀 hair pulling is overrated

[Pohjolan]

Not going to tell you. Thing is that other men would abuse it if it was public knowledge and it would become less effective too.

[SuperZonicGUY1992]

Date a racist blonde hair blue eye Karen just like you !

To bad latina woman aren't interested in you!

[Jay-_-]

I used common sense, I was and still am the one giving solid dating advice.

[Eempriyanka]

Just ask the guy out before someone else does 😄

[NicholasRedone]

@Eempriyanka before all the good ones are gone - this can apply to a lot of single people whether they're looking for a man, a woman, whatever, a life partner or a weekend banger lol 😆😆

[NicholasRedone]

@Eempriyanka well said 😋😋🍻

[MrJMM]

All advice I was given in my life are: Be yourself and don't cheat. The best? Be myself.

[Anonymous]

I never had a good dating advice, and I actually never had a date.

[MrShaun]

My wife hit me when I told her I was going out on a date. I guess that was pretty good advice.

[Markella2]

Only give 99% trust cause could get to comfortable. Take each other for granted.

[Yoursweetgirl]

To be financially independent

[Summeroflove]

Absolutely true. And women who don’t want to be financially independent are the ones looking for a free ride in life.

There are women who sure. Everyone can comfortably live on a single salary. They can work if they need but theh work equally as hard around the house and even outside the house and raising the kids.

[Summeroflove]

But many people both men and women. Fall into a fantasy with someone who wants to take advantage of them. Women too who end up homeless and without any money. Starting from scratch when they’re 30 plus years old

People need to be careful

[CruelParadise]

never pretend to be someone you’re not

[Summeroflove]

You will spend the remainder of that relationship keeping uo a act. It will be miserable

[CruelParadise]

Not me! Someone who pretended, yes..

[Summeroflove]

That’s what happens it also hurts another person too when theh think you’re someone they're not.

You don’t want someone to fall in love with a image of you. Because you may forever try to keep that image especially if someone’s a narcissist. As where if you find someone who genuinely loves you. You’ll just be you but also be pushed to be the best version of yourself

[Samuel75]

Always be prepared for break-up.

[12eass]

I was not to do it

[sawets]

Don't overthink it. Just move on. Crush and run.

[Marina99_]

What not to do from super geniuses.

[Anonymous]

Stay single, keep your money, take the cannolis 😎

[beefcakebradybatson]

Stay away from fat broads !!!

[Manuelwe]

Do not trust women
