5 Universal Truths about Dating

Whether you are looking for love online, at dating events, or through activities there are five universal truths that apply to everyone.

Online dating is here to stay

Online dating becomes more and more popular each year as more and more people find out about online dating success stories.

Online dating is touted as the ideal way of meeting people if you are time-poor with long working hours and lots of external responsibilities. It’s also a great prospect if you live in a remote area and wish to meet people who live nearby.

It pays to be proactive

You may hear people say that ‘it’s only easy for gorgeous people’ and they are usually referring to women in particular. However, the key to meeting someone is getting yourself out there (physically or virtually) and communicating with lots of people.

Being proactive online means uploading a positive and unique dating profile and a good selection of photos. It’s also important to send out messages, rather than waiting for others to get in contact with you.

You can’t make someone like you

Hollywood films would have you believe that you can win someone’s affections with perseverance after they have already dismissed you. However, in real life you will only annoy them and you are highly unlikely to change a person’s mind after they have made their decision.

It’s also true that a lot of people ignore messages rather than choosing to send a negative response to someone. So if you haven’t heard from someone after a couple of weeks, it means that they are not interested in you, but don’t want to send a ‘thanks, but no thanks’ style response.

You are the most important person

Your well-being is the most important thing so it is necessary to protect your own interests.

If you do not feel comfortable with someone, you should not feel obliged to talk to them even if they seem perfect on paper.

It’s all worth it in the end

Searching for your perfect match can seem tiresome if you don’t meet someone as quickly as you would like to, but it is all worth it when you meet someone with whom you wish to spend the rest of your life with.
