Being Stood Up is the WORST!

To really do dating the right way, you have to be open-minded, courteous, honest and have a positive attitude.  Going into the chaotic world of dating with a judgmental and negative attitude will get you nowhere. You may as well just save yourself the time, effort and money and stay at home.

Snap judgments are the absolute worst. Don’t accept a date with someone, if you know there is a deal-beaker. Accepting a date and then being a no show is extremely rude and disrespectful to the other person. Who cares if they aren’t your perfect match. He or she is a human being and they deserve the same respect that you do.

Maybe you have personally been stood up before, or done it to someone else, but there is no excuse for it. Everyone’s time is valuable so do the courteous thing and let him or her know that you can’t make the date.  It’s that easy.

Making up your mind about a person before you ever go on a date is a huge mistake as well. You may close doors on a great person because of a judgment that you made on their outfit or be overly excited about a person you have nothing in common with because you think they are attractive. Yes, looks matter but finding love goes so much deeper than that.

Finally, never lie to your date. You never know where the relationship will go or who you two have in common. Like the saying goes, honesty is the best policy.
