7 Outdated Dating Tips You Should No Longer Listen Too

1.You should wait 3 days to reach out to someone. Never wait if you like someone, tell them. The games have got to stop. Be real, honest, and upfront. If you like someone, then ask them out again right then and there. Tell someone that you think they are attractive, and that you want to see them again. Don’t wait for them to come to you. Sometimes things will pay off if you get out of your comfort zone and make choices that could either hurt or pay off. But you don’t know unless you try

2.Don’t text back right away and don’t be too available- If you’re not available enough, then they will think you’re not interested. You have to make time and give focus and energy to someone you like. If you don’t give them the attention they want, then they may move on.

3.Play hard to get. The chase is for when you were young and not so serious. When you want to find the right person, there is no time for the games and the chase. If you’re too hard to catch you won’t be caught.

4.Opposites attract. This is far from the truth. The couples with longevity, in my opinion, have similar interests. They like to do the same things and have similar personalities. Two people that are opposites won’t like to do the same things and in the long run you won’t have the foundation and communality that will take you the long haul.
