Dating Rules I Live By
I’m going to be honest - I’m a big believer that the dating rules are bullshit. There is so much noise and opinions out there from friends, family and social media about what you should and shouldn’t do when it comes to dating. It can be very overwhelming and confusing. Especially because you might have a friend telling you one thing and then you look on social media and see someone else saying you should do the complete opposite. But at the end of the day, you need to do what feels right for you. Being true to yourself is key in life and especially when it comes to dating. If a dating rule or advice doesn't align with you, then you shouldn’t follow it. Because the best way to meet the right person is to just be yourself.
While I think the dating rules are bullshit, I do understand that each person has their own personal rules that dictate how they date. These have been developed over time through personal experiences and shared stories which allow us to navigate dating. So I want to share with you the 8 dating rules I live by.
If they like you, you’ll know. And you won’t have to question that.
Think about if this is how you want to be treated for the rest of your life.
If you believe all men are trash, then all men will be trash.
Being alone is better than being with the wrong person.
You can’t say the wrong thing to the right person.
Your person isn’t the guy that’s making you feel confused and not texting you back.
Think about what you deserve and then ask yourself if that’s what you’re getting.
What’s meant for you will never pass you by, and what passes you by was never meant for you.
The difference between these rules and the rules you hear about on social media is that they are more about you and how you feel with that person. It’s focused on what you deserve and making sure you don’t allow for anything less. It’s not about whether you should text thank you after a first date. It’s about doing what you want and being authentic to who you are. Because the right person won’t care about the thank you text. And most importantly, it’s about checking in with yourself and making sure how you’re being treated and how you’re feeling aligns with what you want in a relationship.
