Dating is a topic that's hard to avoid, especially for teens and young adults.
Many of us are venturing into the world of dating for the first time, and our culture seems hyper-obsessed with all things love and romance. Because of this, most of us witness a barrage of advice that can be misguided at best and downright bad at worst. So, forget what you've heard and listen up to this dating advice that we wish we'd personally known a bit sooner.
1. Date Like a CEO, Not Like an Interviewee
When it comes to dating, a lot of us have a tendency to date in a way that leans towards doing or saying whatever you think you need to in order to make the other person like you. In a way, this would be like the way you act during an interview for a job—marketing yourself in a way that shows that you check all of their boxes, rather than focusing on whether or not it's even a good match for you in the first place. Instead, go into a date in the mindset of a CEO. That way, you're thinking more about what the other person brings to the table—if they're someone you are attracted to and could see yourself being with rather than the other way around.
2. Exes Often Come Back, But Not How You Would Like
There's a saying in dating that "they always come back," referring to exes or past flings who reach out to you several weeks or months after things end or fizzle between you. This can be particularly exhilarating if you weren't the one who wanted things to end—it feels like they finally see your worth and want to make things work this time around.
3. The First Person You Date Probably Won't Be 'The One'
So, you met someone and they've totally knocked your socks off with how much you feel for them—something you didn't think would be possible with your first real boyfriend/girlfriend/partner. However, the painful yet secretly wonderful thing about dating when you're young and new is that you still have so much learning to do, and there's a good chance that this first love will be just that—only the first.
4. 'Butterflies' Actually Might Not Be a Good Thing
You know that fluttery, somewhat nervous feeling you get when you think about the person you really, really like—the feeling commonly referred to as "the butterflies?" Yeah, we hate to break it to you, but that feeling is sometimes not a great thing.
5. Dating Shouldn't Be Your Priority
The bad advice version of this would be "it will happen when you least expect it," which is a pretty awful piece of advice given that no one is ever fully not looking to date or hoping to meet someone they like. However, the core sentiment has value, and that would be that you should just live your life how you like, and meeting the right person to date might just happen when it's supposed to.
4 Dating Tips for Teens With Anxiety
Dating, especially as a teen, is hard enough as it is, but doing it with the additional weight of an anxiety disorder? Now that can feel nearly impossible.
However, dating with anxiety doesn't have to be that difficult when you keep a few key things in mind. With that said, look below for a few of our dating tips for teens with anxiety.
4. Find Some Healthy/Happy Ways to Distract Yourself
When you're an anxious dater, it can be all too easy to fall into a trap of worrying about the person you're dating's every move. Why aren't they answering your text? Why haven't they complimented you yet today? Why haven't they tried to be exclusive yet? These questions are limiting you and causing you to spiral into a sea of self-doubt, but it needs to stop. Instead of allowing yourself to fall further down the rabbit hole that anxiety wants to push you down, find some healthy distractions.
