We all have a dating story we’d love to forget. Maybe your date showed up extremely late or they lacked basic table manners. Such behaviour during the dating stage can put off your potential significant other. This is the time to make a good impression which means you have to play by a few rules. While everyone has their own preferences and pet peeves, there are some standard things you should do to develop a healthy relationship. Here are some dating rules you should try to follow.

  1. Keep An Aura Of Mystery

As much as you’d want to be an open book during a date, it helps to keep some things to yourself. Avoid oversharing until you get to know your significant other a little better. Mystery makes things exciting and makes your date want to find out more about you. Additionally, giving out too much information during the first stages of dating could scare off the other person.

  1. Respect Each Other’s Privacy

In the age of social media, you may be tempted to snoop through your partner’s phone to see if they’re up to something. This is a big no and it could potentially ruin your relationship whether you find something wrong or not. Going through someone’s phone invades their privacy and breaks the trust in the relationship. You can instead encourage your partner to reveal their personal stuff.

  1. Avoid Playing Games

Contrary to popular belief, it doesn’t matter who calls who first nor is it cute to play hard to get. It’s time to put those childish games aside if you want a serious relationship. Be straightforward with what you’re looking for as this will save you and your date a lot of time trying to figure things out on your own. Similarly, let them know if you don’t see a future with them. Tips To Help You Get Out Of A Dating Rut

  1. Call More

Speaking of calling, try to do it more than you text. Calls tend to be more personal and you can tell a person’s emotions through their voice. As such, phone calls are a more intimate way to communicate with your potential bae. You can even video call them from time to time. However, make sure that the other person is okay with video calling as some people are not comfortable with it. Here are Tips To Help You Master Online Dating

  1. Keep Your Friends

Being around the same person every day can be annoying and, not to mention, boring. Keep your friends close for when you need a break from your partner. This helps you maintain your identity while avoiding monotony which can jeopardize your dating life. Additionally, your friends could offer good dating advice when you need it.

Why Couples Shouldn”t Spend All Their Time Together

  1. Do Something They Want

When choosing activities to do as a couple, try to consider the other person’s interests. In many cases, the guy is often the one making compromises to accommodate the girl’s interest. If that’s the case, switch things up and do something he likes. This also shows that you’re paying attention to them thus making a good impact.

  1. Dress Up

Just because you’re dating steadily doesn’t mean that you can let yourself go. Remember that you’re in the early stages of your relationship and it’s still important to make a good impression. One simple way to leave your date speechless every time you meet is to dress up. However, make sure you don’t overdo it. Wear clothes that reflect your personality.
