Lets Get Dating! Dating Tips By Violet Stocker

I don’t understand. I never did. The world of dating. Very complicated. Maybe its just the guys. Yeah I told myself. Its the guys fault. I have dated over 45 guys, and I’m only 26. And every single one of them were weird ass guys who I met in normal situations. I didn’t understand the hype of dating. Because every single time, I manged to pick up a weird guys, who were either sweet but not my type. Or they were my type, but they had weird ass quality’s. I’ve ranked every guy I’ve ever dated. 3 of them made the top on the weird factor (or the bitch factor).

Number 1. Jake was probably one of the weirdest guys I’ve dated. We met back in freshman year of high school, and I could swear, you could smell the bird poop from a mile away. He owned over 25 birds. Twenty five!

When I first walked into his house, I heard all of them chipping and said “No thank you.” Turned on my heels and walked out the door.

Number 2. Charles. He was actually really hot. He had blond hair that swept across his face. He had chiseled cheekbones and he had abs too. We met on the subway on the way from work. I remembered the sent of his cologne, pine trees.

I continued to sniff him the whole ride home, and then he asked me out. He was a real gentleman. He took my hand in his, and kissed my knuckles. “You look beautiful tonight.” He had said with his deep, angelic voice. Hearing his voice had made my stomach fly. But when we started to eat our food, he ate like a frigging hamster.

He looked at me with dreamy eyes, and said, “One sec, " and he started to nibble fastly on his food. I left.

Number 3. Jack. He was obsessed with stuffed animals and dolls. After our first date, he invited me to his house. I was existed to see his home because he was so normal! But when I walked in, thousands upon thousands of stuffed animals and creepy old dolls ere lined up, all facing us. I remembered how he started to introduce every single one to me. There was a Pinky, Bear Claw, Sassy Pants, Cotten Candy, Fully Munchins, etc, etc.

I never understood why I couldn’t get a normal guy. I don’t understand how dating could be so easy, but so hard at the same time. This was only 3 out of 45 guys, in which each had their own weird quality. Like one sang, a lot. Almost every sentence that came out of his mouth were song. If anyone has any dating tips, I need them. Because I’m tired of being lonely.Honsetly, everyone dates a messed up guy right?! I’m not the only one. Anad mabey there are even weirder guys.

But all I know is that dating isn’t easy, and it never will be. If dating is easy for somone, you know your doing wrong. If it doesn’t hurt at the end then you did it wrong. Another wise tip, dating isn’t easy for everyone. Especialy me.

So when you feel lonley, you can picture your perfect guy (or girl), and put to mind that you’ll find them someday (you can do that, or you can makeout with your pillow, either works).

Dating tip… (We’re in dating tips now?!) You don’t have to meet teh perfect guy every time. In fact, its good to have one night stands, or just date someone to date someone. It strenghtens your confidence (and gives you experience). So, you can be dating, even though you don’t see a future (just make sure they know that. Otherwise its gonna be a nasty break up).

Another one! Always always always be yourself. No matter how hot the guy/girl is, always be you. Because if they don’t like you for you then leave him/her. Or, vise versa. Don’t try to change a guy unless you two really really really want eachother to improve. Because if you try to change a guy, most times its a waste (trust me I know).

Also, make sure that you can be open with your realationship. If you can’t be open, you either really love the person, or ya’ll don’t love eachother enough. Because you should be proud that you are dating eachother if you really feel it. No matter what! You should be able to tell secrets with your lover, and be able to communicate freely. NO HIDEN FEELINGS!

Always be looking out for red flaggs. Red flags are things like selfishness, abusse, having over a thousand stuffed animals, or eating like a hampster. Things like that. These quality could make them creepy, and you do NOT want to date a creepy guy (Trust me I know what I’m talking about)

Nother thing to do is date yourself from time to time. Buy yourself dinner, or do what you want for a day. Make sure you take care of yourself because dating is a very rockey road (no, sadly not like the ice cream) and you WILL get hurt. So just know that, just cause you get hurt, doesnt mean your bad at dating. In fact, it means that your doing it right.

Heartbreak its importent. If you say that you've never expreienced heartbreak, your lying. Because even if your seven, and happy as a clam, theres always somthing deep down. So don't be scared of it. Because its gonna happen. Always.

Also always be patient. A lot of people (like you and me) are terribal at dating. And every person is different. They could be energtic, or sleepy, or dumb, or smart. But no matter what always be patient. Patience gets you pretty far in the dating world.

Hopefully, once your done reading this, you'll have a pretty good idea on what to do while dating. Oh did I forget the basics? Right. Eye contact, lisening, not intrupting, thats it! So just know that your not alone. There is YOUR someone out there, even if they aren't yours yet. But always be yourself, and know that your not bad at it, your just new (I'm just bad at dating, and as you can see I'm not new. But don't worry, your not me) to the dating world. So keep exploring, and do what your heart, gut, and brain tell you to do. Get out there, go to a bar, meet a guy, and have fun. Because you only live once right?
