Does the word “Dating” make you sweat?

It is an essential evil to finding anyone out there who might be compatible with you and possibly be the one that you’re going to spend the rest of your life with. There are a many people out there who seem to make dating look easy, but for most of us it is a complete nightmare to work up the nerve to go over and start talking to a member of the opposite sex that doesn’t know you from the next stranger.

So how do you go about getting a date? Here are a few pointers below.

1. Just be yourself. I know…I know, you’ve heard this one so many times you are ready to pull the tongue out of the next person who says it to you. This is actually the number one best thing you can do. Just relax and be yourself.

By not pretending to be the coolest guy since George Clooney, you take a massive amount of pressure off yourself and can focus on just being pleasant and noticing the fine qualities of the person next to you.


2. Prepare yourself for rejection. It is a fact of life. Not everyone you meet is going to think your better than sliced bread. Get over it. The better you deal with rejection the more confident you will become. The more confident you become the better you will get at dating. See how everything is going hand in hand here. (Just all part of my plan.)


3. Don’t be afraid to make a fool of yourself. You only live once, according to some people, and by giving yourself permission to make a fool of yourself, you can alleviate some of the stress of worrying about it. If you do happen to do something stupid, be the first one to laugh at yourself. Often this is a great way to get back those cool points that you just dropped on the floor.

Dating doesn’t have to be a scary proposition. Just take these few pointers here and get started. The more you start asking people out and going out on dates the better you will get at it. Good luck.
