The love of your life could be walking right past you
Written by : Valeria Mikkonen Designed by : Jette Winkelman
In the 1970s , dating , as it was known before , changed . Due to the feminist movement and its reach to politics , women became more independent in the relationship and didn ’ t have to depend on their partners to bring the bread to the table . Nowadays , a single swipe determines your whole future . The love of your life could be walking right past you , but if they ’ re not on your Tinder , you will never know . Maybe that is the obstacle on our way of finding true love . So , let ’ s try to learn from the past and kick it back to dating like the ‘ 70s .
Drop the phone
Stop texting and go to your crush ’ s house to take them out . Or don ’ t , they might think you ’ re a stalker . Just text them first .
No more exclusiveness
In the ‘ 70s , you would go on dates with different people a couple of times a week . No need to be exclusive , but make sure your partner knows that too .
Get over your fears
Developed a crush on the hottie who always orders coffee at the same place as you ? Be brave and go talk to them , just make sure you don ’ t look like a creep drooling over them .
Dance your way to their heart
Impress your crush with your moves . Since disco is out of style , learn a new TikTok choreography and perform it for your love interest .
Step up your game
Buy your crush chocolate and flowers and surprise them with a nice romantic evening . Just make sure to send a Tikkie afterwards for the flowers . They are not cheap .
Not so sure if these tips work after all . Dating like we live in the 1970s might be too outdated . Perhaps , it ’ s safest to stick to today ’ s norms in dating and swipe on Tinder to find your one and only .
