Fresh Perspective on Dating

Re-evaluating dating is hard. If you have been having a difficult time or are getting frustrated, here are some ideas to give you a fresh outlook.
Reflect upon past relationships. What qualities did you admire the most about your ex? Write down a list of those qualities, such as being a generous person, their nice arms, or their outgoing and relaxed personality.

Rethink the type of person you date. If you keep dating similar people, maybe it’s just a personality clash. Try dating someone who is totally different.

Start with a fresh and new dating profile. I would suggest canceling your account and start a new one with a new username. Post pictures of yourself having fun doing things you enjoy, such as walking in the park, playing a sport, or painting. Ask a single friend to do a photo-shoot with you, exchanging the camera so you have photos featuring just yourself relaxed and smiling.

Make new memories of places or things with friends. One of my friends said she always thought about the last time she went somewhere how it was with her ex. I told her well lets go there and now you can think how last time was with me. It’s about creating new memories, and you are putting yourself out there to meet new people as well.

Take care of yourself! Learn how to be happy all on your own; you shouldn't need someone to be happy. Take yourself out on a date and have fun, such as walking around an aquarium or going to dinner solo. 

If you are still having problems dating, seek help from friends. Ask a friend who is happily married or in a serious and steady relationship to set you up with someone. If they can't, or decline, ask them to set you up with someone online. They could create a free profile on your behalf, and initiate conversations for you, maybe setting you up on a blind date. Be cautious however and meet in a public place. Also make sure a friend or family member knows where you will be going. If you are unsure of plans, tell your date you need to let your mom know when to expect you over for dinner or something. They might appreciate how you are staying safe
