Dating is awesome.  I know a lot of people aren’t really into it, or it gives them anxiety (been there), or they jsut don’t understand the “new” way of dating.  **NEWS FLASH**  YOU know what YOU like.  Whether you are 20 or 40, waht you want in a significant other shouldn’t change the way you date.  Just because most people use apps or text, if you are a “phone call” type person, go the phone route.  If you enjoy outdoor dates, let them know.  If you are boujee and want more diva-like dates, find the person who can do that for you.  Dating is supposed to be enjoyable. It’s supposed to be like “shopping” and shopping is FUN!  For me, I went on a lot of dates… a lot a lot.  I’ve been married once and I want to get it right next time.  Also, I wasn’t sure what I actually wanted in a man.  Like, ALL the things.  I wasn’t looking for a few good things in one person, I want it all. Make a bucket list of dates you’d love to go on.  Hiking, dinner, shopping, road trips, everything you know you would enjoy.  When you find a partner who respects you, makes you happy, and wants to check off all the things on that list with and for you…. you know you’ve found your one.  You do YOU, boo! And everything else will fall into place.
