AUTHENTIC DATING
RECOMMENDED DO’S AND DON’TS
HONOR YOUR DESIRE
How can you find what you want, if you don’t know
what you want? Know who you are and what you need
ASK INTERESTED QUESTIONS
Do you enjoy attention and genuine
curiosity? Then return the favor
SHOW UP AS YOU ARE
When you are being you, you will attract
people who want exactly who you are
BE CONFIDENT
Confidence is attractive. Know that
you are unique and lovable
GO WHERE THE FISH ARE
Do activities that you enjoy where
people like you are hanging out.
DO WHAT LIGHTS YOU UP
When you are enjoying yourself and being of service,
you are attractive. Have fun with your dates, regardless
of whether they have a “future”
SETTLE FOR SECOND-BEST
If you don’t drink, don’t hang-out in bars.
If you don’t like smoking, don’t date smokers.
TALK NON-STOP
The more you try to impress, the less you will succeed. Be interested in your date — you may actually learn something.
PRETEND TO BE SOMEONE ELSE
Trying to be what other people are looking for,
means they fall for someone you made up
BLAME YOUR EXES
Talking about how bad your past was makes
you look like a loser. Ugh!
BEAT-UP ON YOURSELF
It’s a jungle out there. If you don’t immediately
succeed, don’t take it as proof of your inadequacy.
FORCE YOURSELF
If internet dating is a drag, try something else.
And don’t accept people that you don’t really like, just
because they like you
