How Assumptions Ruin the Date

Assumptions are safe to make from time to time but when it comes to dating, there are many assumptions that people make which can just destroy their dating life. These kinds of assumptions can prevent people from meeting the guy or girl of their dreams. Here are a few examples.

1. Looks are most important
Of course you should be attracted physically to the person you are dating but looks doesn’t make or break a potential relationship. If you have low self esteem about your looks, just concentrate more on your inner beauty and that will definitely make your outside beauty shine and trust me, people will notice those who have a beautiful inside.

2. Initiating contact
Men don’t always have to initiate contact and women don’t always have to wait for a guy to talk to her. If you like a guy, go up to him and talk to her. If you are a guy, don’t worry about the pressure of having to go up to a girl, just relax and flirt a bit and see where that goes. If she likes you, she will let you know.

3. Disagreeing is forbidden
Articles tend to say to avoid controversial topics over the first dinner date but you know what, why not try a heated discussion at first? This will not only let you know more about your date’s opinions but also how you two can handle future arguments. It is okay to disagree with your date.

4. Judging too early
The typical sentence “Oh yeah I know this type of guy” is a false assumption. Get to know the person before you make a proper analysis about who he is and what kind of person he is.

5. I have to put out
Some girls feel like if they don’t want to lose interest in the guy that she should sleep with him immediately. Actually, this does the exact opposite. If the guy is truly interested in you, sex will be the last thing on his mind, so don’t feel any pressure to give him it.

Do you find yourself often making assumptions? How does it affect your dating life? What can you tell yourself to prevent assumptions?
