Dating Tips with Payla:
Now, I don’t like to call these dating tips, because as you’ll find out quickly if you read on, I’m kind of against them. So, technically I’m giving you advice in small snibbets, which would make them tips, on the subject of dating.
1: Don’t operate within your love life according to dating tips
2. Have a mind of your own when it comes to handling situations in your relationship. I understand why your first instinct is to go to your girlfriends for advice, but if you can make it a last resort, do. If you can’t come up with a solution on your own or with your boyfriend, then seek advice. And even then, take it with a grain of salt; the majority of people are going to give you advice riddled with personal bias. It’s unfortunate but true.
3. Try to forget any ideas you have in your head about guys. Try not to make blanket statements about the opposite sex or do things like sigh and say “Men” when you’re stressed about something your guy did. If you say you hate men, well, he’s a man, so it’s like saying you hate that part of him.
4. Try not to be a petty arguer or fighter. Try, try, try. I know it can be hard, but once you’ve been making the conscious effort for a while it becomes more and more automatic. I could go on and on about this particular one, but I don’t want to get into it. If you have any questions, hit up my ask box.
5. Just know the person you’re dating and operate within that knowledge, not all the noise you’ve heard all your life about guys and girls and relationships and rules.
The only dating tip I can give anyone is: There are no dating tips that are completely all encompassing. It’s on a person by person basis. Accept that and know that going into your next relationship and it might be your longest one yet.
Recommended sunbathing supplies :) The Caudalie spray is amazing because it has peppermint oil, so even after the spritz has dried, the next time there’s a breeze you get cooled off again.
