Dating Advice

Be yourself. You'll get a lot of rejection, and this will likely steer you towards hiding parts of yourself in favor of getting a match, but that match will only lead to a more strung out rejection. Be yourself first and foremost.

But also, all the bad history you got? SAVE IT FOR LATER. First make the connection, then you can trickle in the trauma when you're both up to sharing.

Be the person that your ideal partner is looking for. Get into hobbies that you enjoy, and actually do them. Is your ideal partner into fitness? then they're going to prefer someone who's fit as well. Is your ideal partner someone with a well rounded life? Then they're going to be looking for the same.

Don't date to find your sole source of happiness. Find happiness in your own life, through creative outlets and hobbies and trips and friends. Leading this kind of life will attract a partner.

Don't date someone who is a work in progress, because that work will conveniently stop as soon as they start dating you. Date a complete person. And if you followed the above advice, you'll be a more complete person too.
