Dating Failure Stories

Why is it that more people have failed dating stories than success stories? Are we that bad at dating nowadays? Here are a few tips and reasons why many people fail at dating.

First thing that is noticeable is that many people buy into stereotypes. Too many people have either high expectations about someone or just stereotypes about the dating world itself. Television and movies paint an image of dating that we expect to happen in real life.

Not taking any risks also can cause failure in dating. Women are afraid to approach men because it is too risky while men are afraid to ask women out on a date having a fear of being rejected. Failure happens all the time in life and in anything we do, so it doesn’t hurt to just take a risk or a chance without having the fear of rejection or failure.

Using the books and rules can also destroy a potential date. By being strict to the rules, such as not calling until 3 days after the first date and so on, you decrease the chances on getting to know your date. You are instead focusing on making the actual date according to a book or unspoken rules instead of relaxing, being yourself, and learning about your date.

Finally, live outside your comfort zone. Date people of different races, backgrounds, age groups, social statuses, and so on. Try something new. If it doesn’t work out, don’t go back to your old dating habits and be scared to try something new again. Take a risk, as described above, and continue looking for the person of your dreams. Open your mind and just be yourself. You cannot predict how the date will progress, and sometimes you will find yourself in uncomfortable situations, but that is just life. Life is unpredictable, so make the best out of each and every unique situation.
