Dating Mistakes:<\/strong> By Anchor, Actress, Singer, Dancer, Dreamer “Shibani Dandekar<\/strong>“<\/em><\/p>\n

Is dating wrong? Dating seems fairly easy to you, and<\/span> dating advice for men or women<\/b> seems useless? You like someone; he likes you back; you both show up on a date and have a good time. Right? Not quite.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Dating<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a quick throwback on your previous dates. Have you ever pretended to be someone you weren\u2019t, just to impress him? Or were you the one who kept contacting him when he was blowing you off?<\/span><\/p>\n

You aren\u2019t alone. I\u2019ve committed quite a few common first relationship mistakes <\/strong><\/span>somewhere along the way. So if you are trying to make a new relationship work, try not to avoid a <\/span>deja vu <\/span><\/i>of your previous dating mistakes<\/strong>\u2026 or mine!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here, by sharing my dating mistakes to avoid in a new relationship, I intend to give some very useful tips on what not to do when you start dating to all the youngsters out there who think dating is easy and simple!<\/p>\n

1. When I stayed on a date with someone so that I wouldn\u2019t hurt his feelings!<\/h2>\n

When they teach you <\/span>dating etiquette,<\/b> putting emphasis on how cutting your date short is rude when you don\u2019t like them is totally wrong. Of Course, it\u2019s rude but also required. Pleasing people is a dangerous trait, especially if honesty is the most important factor in your relationship. <\/span><\/p>\n

Every relationship contract actually should have a disclaimer clause that states: Your feelings could get hurt. There was the initial spark with this guy, but not long-lasting enough to make me want to see him again.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dating Mistakes: My Takeaway From This<\/em><\/h3>\n

Dragging a relationship long enough would cause more pain than if you break it up when you realize it\u2019s not what you are looking for. Remember, breakups suck but are sometimes necessary.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. When I stalked my date online, only to reveal it all during the date!<\/h2>\n

This one\u2019s gold and one of the most important <\/span>dating tips for women<\/b> and men that I personally want to put emphasis on! I solely blame technology for this. I realized halfway through the date; I revealed stuff about him that I\u2019d stalked his tweets. This sure made him very uncomfortable, and predictably, there was no second date.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dating Mistakes: My Takeaway From This<\/em><\/h3>\n

Sure, googling in the digital age is totally allowed, but only if you charmingly reveal it.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. When I felt he\u2019s too good to be true!<\/h2>\n

This one fits in the list of <\/span>dating advice for women!<\/b><\/p>\n

There\u2019s that wild, inexplicable connection you have from the moment you met. If he talks like you are the most incredible thing to happen to Planet Earth since Kim Kardashian, slow down. Time will tell if he is just another player or the real deal.<\/span><\/p>\n

My takeaway from this: <\/b>Take a step back. If he\u2019s worth the wait, he\u2019ll be more than willing to play the waiting game. You don\u2019t want to be licking your wounds (and salty tears).<\/span><\/p>\n

4. When I avoided the fact that there was no real connection!<\/h2>\n

I could only wish all those <\/span>online relationships advice<\/b><\/a> should have covered this point too. For years, I always thought that the point of a date was to charm and attract him. I would indulge in hilarious work stories or immerse myself in a self-campaigning mode to show my best side. Now that I look back, I realize this technique would in no way get a guy to know the real me. Where\u2019s the connection then?<\/span><\/p>\n

Dating Mistakes: My Takeaway From This<\/em><\/h3>\n

Intuition is a real thing, so trust yours. Walk away instead of staying under an illusion.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. When being busy to date was a valid reason!<\/h2>\n

Sure, we all lead busy lives. By pushing yourself to the brink, it\u2019s never a healthy thing to do, especially if you have an erratic schedule like mine. We all have been a victim of bad timing at least once in our lives. Don\u2019t lose yourself just because you are with someone else.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dating Mistakes: My Takeaway From This<\/em><\/h3>\n

It\u2019s no one\u2019s fault if the timing was not on your side. It\u2019s just the way things worked out\u2026or didn\u2019t. To quote Robin Scherbatsky,<\/span> \u2018\u2019If you have chemistry, you only need one other thing- timing, but timing\u2019s a bitch.\u2019\u2019<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

After all the mistakes in love relationships<\/strong> I\u2019ve made, I think it\u2019s best to laugh it off, shrug, and walk away. Take off those rose coloured glasses and watch out for the red flags! Maybe the next date will be patient enough to give me a second shot. Here\u2019s to moving on!<\/span><\/p>\n

I want you guys to unlearn some unwanted dating tips if you have those in your stock. I know the internet today is flooded with tons of <\/span>relationship tips for men <\/b>and women, but you must know when and how to filter them!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
