Hey, dating world. It’s me again. I don’t think I have to tell you again how dating is pretty difficult. Especially for teens! You guys are still learning what you like and don’t like about other people, which makes dating feel very up in the air at times. You can never be fully sure if your date will enjoy doing the same things as you do, even though they may claim that they do. You may also try dating someone who does not meet your expectations for them, but that isn’t always a bad thing either! It might take some trial and error before you find out what dating style works best for you. One of my biggest pet peeves with dating the dating world is the fact that online dating isn’t taken seriously enough. I know, I know! In this day and age, it seems like a lot of people are dating over their phone or over social media apps. But the thing is, there are so many creeps out there who use dating apps as a way to meet other strangers and fulfill fantasies that aren’t okay for you to experience in real life! It can be very hard to figure out who has good intentions with dating someone from your phone – which makes actually going on a date pretty scary sometimes. That being said, here are some steps you can take for a successful first date: - Ask questions about what they do/are interested in. - If you are dating someone online, try to schedule the date for a place that you can meet up in real life and identify them. - Do not give away too much personal information! This includes your address and phone number. I would advise against dating someone who is pressuring you into meeting them without knowing what they look like or where you’re going. That’s just asking for trouble. Don’t be afraid to break things off with someone if they aren’t making dating easy for you – dating is supposed to bring joy, not stress! Good luck out there, dating world! Hopefully this helps some of you find your happy places when it comes to dating. Also, dating is not restricted to humans dating other humans! You could be dating a friend or pet (if your pet is up for it!)... you get the idea. JK, dating humans only. But I’m sure if you ask your dog out on a date they would say yes! -The dating world [end article] Hey, dating world. It's me again.
