Remember the days when you used to have to actually ask someone on a date, not knowing whether they were going to say yes or no?
Relationships on Female First
Once upon a time it used to be that you’d meet a person, get talking to them and then have to decipher whether they were on the same wavelength or not.
Do you wait for them to ask you out? Or are they doing the exact same thing hoping you’ll be the one to make the first move?
It was tricky, you didn’t want to overstep the mark and get rejected but you really wanted to see more of them, hoping it wasn’t just going to remain platonic.
There were even times when you didn’t have phones and internet to get to know someone better first (shock, horror!), it literally all hung on the first date.
We’re not saying it has become any less important, but the first date has certainly become a lot easier!
The introduction of internet dating made it a lot easier to find a potential date, especially with us all become much busier.
We began working longer, more unusual hours and it had become harder to actually have free time to go out and find a date.
There are hundreds of thousands of dating sites, something to suit everyone’s tastes and the best thing about them is everyone knows where they stand.
No one is under any false impressions, everyone who is registered is there because they want to find a date.
If you’re conversing with someone then you know that a date is on both of your minds, that is after all why you signed up!
You can discover whether you’re compatible and see if you have the same interests before engaging in the all-important first date, making it a little less nerve-wrecking.
Even if you’re not on internet dating sites, there are other ways you can get relationship and dating advice.
Sites such as hetexted.com have changed the way we date. HeTexted basically allows you to submit texts from someone you’re dating, or who you hope to date, and have the general public give you the honest truth about what the text means.
There are also a team of ‘Bros’ who you can ask privately and they will endeavour to answer your question as best they can privately and confidentially.
It’s crazy to think how far dating has come and how much easier it is to get in the game, but what is more exciting is thinking of where it will go in the future!
