SpeakerHello, Psych2Goers. Welcome back to our channel.
0:20 → 0:27
SpeakerDo you have trouble in the dating world? Do you just wish you could find your perfect someone without all the complications of dating?
0:27 → 0:30
SpeakerWell, good luck with that. Just kidding?
0:30 → 0:39
SpeakerThe dating scene can become frustrating for all of us who have ever had our fair share of bad dates, so maybe you just need a bit of advice to help get the ball rolling again.
0:39 → 0:43
SpeakerTo help you out, here is a list of the only dating advice you'll ever need.
0:44 → 0:48
Speaker1. The most important thing? Respect.
0:48 → 0:52
SpeakerYou need to trust each other's intentions. How can you do so without a little respect?
0:52 → 0:59
SpeakerHealthy couples whose relationships last, their secret is communication and respect for each other.
0:59 → 1:08
SpeakerSo, if you notice your date is a bit disrespectful to you express that this is a problem or recognize that it might not work and remember to respect your date as well.
1:08 → 1:12
Speaker2. allow intimacy to progress naturally.
1:12 → 1:18
SpeakerSo, you like someone a lot. It's only the first date, but you can't wait to tell them.
1:18 → 1:28
SpeakerHold it right there. While honesty is the best policy, revealing how often you think about them may add too much unnecessary pressure on your first date.
1:28 → 1:32
SpeakerYou need to allow some room for the natural progression of intimacy.
1:32 → 1:41
SpeakerTake it slow, take it easy and reveal how you feel, but make sure not to reveal too much all at once, it is just the first date after all.
1:42 → 1:45
Speaker3. Don't limit yourself to one type.
1:45 → 1:54
SpeakerWhile some of us may think our perfect partner will meet all of our criteria, we may be wrong and that idea is very possible, so what could you be missing out on?
1:54 → 2:00
SpeakerJust because your date doesn't like Star Wars as much as you doesn't mean they can't be the perfect match.
2:00 → 2:05
SpeakerJust because you share different interests, doesn't mean you won't connect on a deeper level.
2:05 → 2:10
SpeakerAnd just because they're not tall and handsome, doesn't mean you couldn't be attracted to them in the future.
2:10 → 2:15
SpeakerIf our type is always changing, I guess we don't really have one type, do we?
2:16 → 2:19
Speaker4. communication is key.
2:19 → 2:27
SpeakerMost people say communication is one of the most important keys to a successful relationship. That and respect are a great combo pack
2:27 → 2:32
SpeakerIt's important to be honest with who you're dating. If you're a bit uneasy about something, express it.
2:32 → 2:36
SpeakerIf you enjoyed your afternoon, don't try to play it cool or play hard to get.
2:36 → 2:46
SpeakerInstead, tell them you enjoyed getting to know them. Be honest about who you are and how you feel as long as it's not a bombardment of love confessions on your first date.
2:46 → 2:50
Speaker5. focus on who you are now.
2:50 → 2:56
SpeakerEarly on in dating, it's a good idea to focus on the person you are now rather than discuss your past self.
2:56 → 3:01
SpeakerIt's important for couples to know a bit about each other's past, but the time will come for that later.
3:01 → 3:05
SpeakerThose first couple of dates show them who you've become.
3:05 → 3:11
SpeakerTry not to talk too much about your mistakes or exes. Early on, they're here to get to know who you are now.
3:11 → 3:14
SpeakerWhich brings us to 6. Don't alter who you are.
3:15 → 3:19
SpeakerImportant tip: Don't try to pretend you're someone who you're obviously not.
3:19 → 3:28
SpeakerIf you think your date would love a handsome bad boy or a cool girl, don't show up wearing a leather jacket when your go to is knitted sweaters.
3:28 → 3:34
SpeakerIf we alter our personality or style to fit our date's expectations, they'll be attracted to someone who doesn't really exist.
3:34 → 3:37
SpeakerWe'll only attract people who are compatible with someone else.
3:37 → 3:43
SpeakerSo those aviator glasses you picked out for this date, stick to your prescriptions.
3:43 → 3:46
Speaker7. don't control the conversation.
3:47 → 3:55
SpeakerIt's important for both dates to show interest in each other. This means you shouldn't spend the whole two hours just talking about your dreams and goals.
3:55 → 4:02
SpeakerAsk your date how they feel and give them time to ask you some questions too. Remember it's about how both of you feel and if you're compatible.
4:02 → 4:08
SpeakerYou'll never get to know if they're too compatible with you, if all you do is talk about yourself.
4:08 → 4:11
SpeakerAnd 8. be with someone for the right reasons.
4:12 → 4:17
SpeakerThis should seem like easy advice to take, but many individuals get lost in other reasons for being in a relationship.
4:17 → 4:24
SpeakerMaybe your friends and colleagues pressured you into a certain kind of relationship. Maybe your family expected you to be with this kind of partner.
4:25 → 4:29
SpeakerWhatever the reason, it's important to evaluate why you're with your partner.
4:29 → 4:33
SpeakerIs it because you're truly happy around them? That already sounds like a great start.
4:34 → 4:39
SpeakerWhich advice will you take? Are you lost in the dating world or have you already found your special someone?
