Be yourself first and foremost, otherwise you’ll be with people who sees a version of you that’s not you and it will just miserable - let them filter themselves out if they’re not into the you that you’re comfortable with

If you’re looking for love you can’t come with any preconceived notions, or a checklist of what they need to be. That being said, do know what you value. Let your heart and your values guide you.

dating without the “romantic wrapper”, without seeing it as test to understand if the other person could become your partner, and instead just treating the date as a way to get to know a possible new friend; this helped me being more authentic, unfiltered, and true to myself

It’s a cliche, but you’ll have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find your prince.

Don’t be desperate. It’s never sexy

There is no perfect person it’s about making an effort constantly to accept the other person fully.

@shivam I agree, but within limits, of course. There may not be “the one,” but there are plenty of wrong ones!

Don’t make every interaction into a mental list of checkboxes and discount people who don’t meet them all. Give people a chance.

@bernatt But also don’t give multiple chances to people who show you they aren’t worthy of them. You can’t change him.

Know who your looking for in physical preferences as well as their characteristics and intentions with dating. And don’t move so fast if your looking for long-term, some in this community. Move faster then they lead on, which could mean some might persuade you if your not forward enough on boundaries or what your searching for. Some might even try to change your view point on your dating life in a negative way, so look for signs like that as well. Ways to tell, they’ll do small things like nod maybe their face looks a little annoyed, because you know what you want. And those people might have different intent based on that, a lot I know, but the more you go forward. The more these things are noticeable.

Take everything with a grain of salt, the mantra that matters is “I don’t chase I attract”. But that’s NOT saying don’t put in effort! I just mean match vibes, be attentive to how people perceive you and what they would like with you. Dont overextend and most importantly, make connections and have fun!
