Dating may have its ups and downs, but it’s important to remember why you’re out there in the first place. If it’s love you’re after, you should spend time with someone who will give you want you want.  Remember: You deserve only the best. So what’s the most important thing to remember while you’re out meeting new people on your quest for love? Stay true to yourself!

What Do You Want?
The first step in being a successful dater is identifying what you want. If you want to date your dream mate, go for it. Don’t let people tell you otherwise. Trust your insticts because you know yourself and what type of person you’re attracted to.

No Settling
Don’t put any effort into a situation if you know it won’t make you happy. When you’re dating, you have to be aware of what you want. Be true to yourself and who you want to date. If you want a boyfriend or a agirlfriend but you’re hanging out with someone who can’t commit, don’t go out with them again. It’s a waste of your time and theirs.

Don’t Accept A Challenge
Guess what? It’s not only men who love a good challenge. Women do, too! If you meet someone who says they don’t want to be in a relationship right now, listen to them. Don’t turn them into your pet project. They aren’t going to change. Instead, get involved with someone who wants to be with you.

Love Yourself
When you realize how fabulous you are, other people will, too. In order for other people to love you, first you have to love yourself. Dating is only fun if you realize how great you are. Don’t forget that you’re a catch and you should be with someone who realizes how special you are.

Be Yourself
When some people meet someone they like, they forget to be themselves. Instead, they try to turn into what they think is someone else’s ideal match. This isn’t healthy. Instead of turning into an actor or actress, be yourself.  Regardless of how good your acting skills are, your true self will come out eventually. So remember that honesty is the best policy and you deserve to be with anyone you want.
