Been out of the dating scene for a while? Starting all over again can be tough. In this article, Beauty and Tips takes a look at how to get back into the dating game after taking a break. Dating is both fun absolutely exhausting. Of course, you know this because it\u2019s already driven you to a break. The same old dating sites are full of the same old faces, including Robert who you\u2019ve already swiped left to a\u00a0million<\/i>different times. Then there are the dates themselves. There are the near-misses that could have ended in total disaster if you\u2019d have reciprocated his kiss, and the \u201cwhy on earth did I meet this guy?!\u201d dates. There are the total losers, the clingy guys who never give up and who make you worry THIS is your destiny. And then there are the guys you really liked but, for whatever sad reason, the feeling wasn\u2019t mutual. If you\u2019re really unlucky, there are the liars who were already married but wanted some fun. Eventually, you start to question your judgement and decide that it\u2019s time for a break. Sure, it\u2019s exhausting and we can\u2019t blame you for taking that time-out. But if you\u2019re now ready to return and want to make a success of things this time around, here is how to get back into the dating game after taking a break.<\/p>\n
Try New Sites<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
One of the problems with dating sites is that they can get filled with a handful of people who\u00a0never\u00a0<\/i>seem to leave. Each day, it\u2019s the same guys that are online. Maybe you\u2019ve already messaged or dated half of them, and decide to take a break from them all. Upon your return, they\u2019re STILL THERE. This can be\u00a0really<\/i>annoying, especially when it\u2019s clear these guys are serial daters or just not your type. As such, what better way to make a fresh start than by joining new sites?<\/p>\n
Try A Paid Site<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
Some people are ashamed to even tell people they\u2019re using\u00a0free\u00a0<\/i>online dating sites, let alone\u00a0paid\u00a0<\/i>ones. The thought of having to pay money to find love just doesn\u2019t sit right with them. However, this might be a stigma you need to shake off if you\u2019re to get back into the dating game the right way. Free sites are useful. But if one of the reasons you took a break in the first place was because you didn\u2019t meet serious guys who wanted more than a hook-up or a pen-pal, you might want to sign up to a paid site. At least with a paid site, you know the guys have serious intentions and want to meet someone they\u2019ll click with. There is less risk you\u2019ll be messed around this time. Moreover, if you\u2019ve never used a paid site before, you\u2019ll come across guys you\u2019ve definitely not already dated or turned down.<\/p>\n
Know What You Want<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
One of the reasons some of us aren\u2019t successful when it comes to dating is that we don\u2019t know what we want, not just from a man but also from a relationship. As a consequence, we not only date the wrong people for the wrong reasons, but the guys we might have been interested in don\u2019t come near us. Unless you know what you want, it\u2019s always going to be hard to make a success of the dating game. You\u2019ll constantly lurch from bad date to bad date. It\u2019s a waste of time. Before you get back onto the dating scene this time around, write down a list of the things you want, both from a man and from a relationship. Otherwise, you may end up in a relationship with a commitment-phobe when really you wanted something serious.<\/p>\n
Take Your Time<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
What\u2019s the rush? If things didn\u2019t work out last time because you rushed into things, it\u2019s a good idea to have some patience time around. Don\u2019t be pressured into going on a date until the timing feels right. Don\u2019t hurry things along out of fear that you\u2019ll be left the shelf. This time around, carefully weigh up your options and take your time.<\/p>\n
Ask A Friend To Set You Up<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
A friend of yours will know someone who\u2019s single and who could be a good match for you. Ask around. Ask your friends to set you up with someone. Being set up by a friend who knows you improves the chances of your date being a success. Rather than taking a gamble on someone you met online, you\u2019re meeting someone your friend \u2013 whose judgement you trust \u2013 recommends.<\/p>\n
Practice Flirting<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
The key to successful dating is being a good flirt. If you can flirt like a pro, there is every chance that you\u2019ll get what you want. However, if you\u2019ve been out of the dating scene for a while, your flirting skills might be a bit rusty. If so, practice flirting at every opportunity. Where? Everywhere! Practice on friends on social media. Practice on friends in real life. Practice on work colleagues who you\u2019ve always had good banter with. Practice with the hot assistant at the store. Sharpen your skills as much as possible and ease your way back into the game. It will help to build your confidence up.<\/p>\n
Go Out With Friends<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
Now that you\u2019re ready to get back into the dating game, it\u2019s time to go to all the right places with your friends again. Gather together your single ladies (and even ones who aren\u2019t single but are ready to be your wingmen) and hit the right bars and clubs. Wear your sexiest clothes, make yourself look irresistible and see what\u2019s in store. Even if you don\u2019t meet your soulmate (and it\u2019s unlikely that you will meet him in a club), going out and attracting the attention of guys is a great way to feel your way back into the dating game. Maybe you\u2019ll get a few numbers, too. It will definitely help to restore your confidence.<\/p>\n
