62 FREE Dating Tips That will Transform Your Love Life

Tip 50

Don’t ask questions you don’t want to
answer

According to Amy Andersen, founder and CEO of
Linx Dating, you should avoid questions that you
don’t really want turned back on you. "It feels
very off-putting if you ask someone a question,
they punt back and ask you the same one, and you
refuse to answer it. It’s comes off as very one-
sided and unfair.”

So if you don’t want to talk about your childhood,
job history, religion, or political views, simply
don’t ask your date about these topics—although
Andersen is quick to point out that talking about
these things early on is often to your benefit.
Better to know than not know, right?

Tip 51

Learn from your past

“Think about your previous relationships – about
what worked and what didn’t. This will help you
be precise with what you want from your next
partner.

In your profile description on dating apps (and
when you fill in any personality tests or related
questions), say exactly what you do and don’t
want. You may not attract everybody that way,
but those who do say hello are more likely to be
right for you!” - EliteSingles psychologist, Salama
Marine

Tip 52

Don’t be afraid to fail

"Expect to fail to succeed. Think of some of the
current greatest innovators (Bill Gates, Steve
Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg) and realise that they had
to fail to succeed as well.

Going on bad dates means you are THAT much
closer to finding someone. If you don't try, you
can't find love!" — Stefanie Safran, matchmaker

Tip 53

Be alert

"Put down the smartphone — your person could
be standing right in front of you, but your phone is
shielding your eyes from him or her.

We are all guilty of living in our phones, but that
screen in front of our faces might be preventing
the eligible [men or women of] the City from
garnering the courage to talk to you and see
where it goes." — Brooke Wise of Wise
Matchmaking

Tip 54

It’s ok to talk about your exes

"Contrary to common dating advice — talking
about exes on a first date is actually a great way
to learn about the other person and quickly see if
there are any red flags that they are not
relationship material.

Bonus points if they have managed to stay
friends, or at least that it ended on good terms.
This shows real maturity, which is what you want
in a partner. You'll also get a sense if there are
still unresolved issues that might effect you if you
get involved with this person." — Charlee
Brotherton

Tip 55

Move past your past

"We have a tendency to compare people we meet
to the ex files, and in order to find someone great,
you need to quit this self sabotaging
behavior. You placed this person who did you
wrong, or never gave you a chance on a pedestal
and they don’t deserve to be there. You based
'your list' on these people that didn’t work out, so
toss your list!

Everyone is hung up on someone, whether it’s real
or in their head. You need to move past your ex
boyfriend or that woman you went out with that
never called you back."— Susan Trombetti,
Matchmaker

Tip 56

Date multiple people at once

My #1 best piece of advice for singles is to date
like you are The Bachelor or The Bachelorette!
When you are in the early stages of dating, it's
really helpful to date a few different potential
future partners at a time (before you define the
relationship with one of them, of course!). 

You will be able to more clearly pinpoint the
positive and negative qualities about your suitors,
and allow your heart and mind guide who you
think can give you what you desire in a more
serious relationship." — Alessandra Conti,
Matchmaker and Dating Expert

Tip 57

Stop thinking about your soulmate

"I've found the concept of 'soulmates' to be self-
sabotaging for singles. Just get out there and
meet new people! See where those interactions
and feelings take you. Keep in mind what you find
or don't find attractive in each date. Finding your
counterpart is an iterative process. 

Many times, I see folks end up in happier
relationships the more they learn about
themselves and who they are compatible with by
staying open, especially in comparison to people
who cling to a fictional ideal of someone crafted in
their minds." —Kenneth Shaw, Tawkify

Tip 58

If you want a second date, no beating
around the bush

"If you're out of practice with dating, you might
have a tendency to make conditional statements
about future dates like 'I'd like to do this again if
you would…" Don't do that. Just be clear about it
and say 'I'd love to see you again. This has been a
lot of fun.'

The confidence will be incredibly attractive and
will make it easy for your date to ask you out
again." —Amy Andersen, Linx Dating LLC

Tip 59

Don’t be a doomed single

"Love will come to you in an unexpected package
—it always does. Become psychotically optimistic
that love WILL come to you—it's a WHEN not an
IF. Butterflies are usually a bad sign early in the
relationship. It's your gut telling you that
something is off (fear/anxiety) and that you
should bolt. 

Give guys that don't have red flags several dates
before you toss them back to the pond—we often
see the magic happen after date six! To find love,
you've got to have a dating plan which is
fun/doable, and then take daily steps in that
direction." —Bela Gandhi, Smart Dating Academy

Tip 60

Be approachable

Most singles who want to meet someone forget to
turn their “green light” on, to encourage people to
approach them, said Andrea Morara, the other co-
founder of Stellar Hitch. “Since body language is
our loudest voice, be aware of how you carry
yourself in the world,” he said. “Is your posture
confident? Is your face serene? Do you make eye
contact with others or are you buried in your
phone? Is your energy friendly?”

If you’re not keen on making intense, meaningful
eye contact with that cute guy at the gym, start
small, Morara said.

Tip 61

Switch social circles

“If you’re always hanging out with the same social
circle, you miss your chance of meeting new
potential dates,” said matchmaker, Amanda Rose.
“Also, a new friend might know someone that
would be perfect for you."

If you’re not keen on making intense, meaningful
eye contact with that cute guy at the gym, start
small, Morara said.

Tip 62

Always be ready

“Looking your best adds to your sense of
confidence and self-esteem and that resonates
with everyone around you and draws the
[potential partners] in like a magnet!

You never know who you are going to run into:
whether its at a work or dentist appointment, the
car wash on Sunday or running errands, if you're
single you never know. So always take a minute to
put some effort into looking your best.”— Amber
Kelleher-Andrews, Relationship Expert

“Love looks
not with the
eyes, but with
the mind,And
therefore is
winged Cupid
painted blind.”
