One of the only ways to truly enjoy dating as a young man or woman is to remove all expectations. I think too often we go into every date with the expectation that this person might be our boyfriends or husbands, girlfriends or wife when in reality, they're just strangers!
A date doesn't always mean a lasting romantic connection, and if you go into each dating hoping for that, you'll often be left feeling disappointed and discouraged.
I for one go into every date thinking the only thing I will get out of it is meeting someone new. This at the long run could be someone I hate or could be someone I grow to love, but at the end of the day I will always have met someone new so I'll never be disappointed considering that was my only expectation in the first place. If things work out and we dare for a while or even forever, that's great but if we aren't a good fit, that's fine too
To be honest in my 20s I enjoyed dating different kinds of ladies and allowing myself to have different experiences whii because I take every dating opportunity as a chance to learn more about myself.
By so doing the above, I get to learn more about what I want, what I like and don't like, who I want to be and how I want to treat the people around me. These have been some of the most formative lessons for me in my adult life so far, so even if I end on bad terms with a lady let's say we burn bridges , Im always grateful to have known them because it meant that I grew to know myself a little le more too.
For real guys I feel we should think of dating as an experience, not a means to an end. What do you think folks?
