how to date (pt. 2)

How’s your love life going?

Sorry for asking the personal questions, but it’s kind of my job.

Being single these days is a weird experience. Dating has changed so much over the years (go back and listen to my podcast about Aziz Ansari’s dating advice for more on this) and these days, it’s hard to know how to get to know people.

Lucky for you, I’ve been out in the field doing some research (cough, I’ve been dating a lot) and I have all kinds of advice for you. Some highlights:

• You are going to want to make a decision at some point that you don’t need another person to complete you, and that you would be totally fine dying ~alone~. (Ah, morbid I know, but keeps the pressure off of you & everyone else.)
• To get better at dating, practice dating. Go on tons of dates and fail often. Learn how to not take it personally.
• Relationships are assignments. The person sitting across from you is here to help you grow and learn more about yourself. Don’t freak out when your insecurities come up… breathe and lean into that. You are growing.
• Write down everything that you learn. Literally come home from dates and write. down. what. you. learned.  It’s kitschy, it’s campy, but it works.

As per usual, forward this to someone who needs to hear it. And then share on social media. And then tell everyone you know. ~Become a walking advertisement for my dating advice.~
