5 Dating Etiquette That Are Outdated

Dating Rules: Out With The Old, In With The New Today's dating scene can be tough to navigate. When should you make the first move? Who should make the first move? What makes a good date, anyway? To answer those questions before you plan that next date, here are 5 outdated rules you should forget about.

1. One Person Plans The Date

Most people think that date planning is up to one person and what they end up suggesting is set in stone. Instead, date ideas should come from both parties so that it's enjoyable for everyone. Better yet, don't stick to a plan at all.

2. Waiting Three Days Before Replying

There's almost an unspoken rule in the dating world that you should wait to respond after a date. After all, you don't want to come off too eager, right? But this waiting period isn't doing anyone favors. Instead, it makes it seem like you've moved on, or that you couldn't care less.

3. Women Shouldn't Initiate

It's often thought that women don't need to initiate because suitors will flock to her, but that's an outdated mindset. Regardless of your gender, if you like someone, make the first move.

4. No Deep Discussions

You want to discuss the theory of relativity but don't want your date to think you're weird? Or is the Internet telling you to only make small talk? That's baloney advice. You should feel comfortable enough to talk about anything if it's with the right person.

5. Playing Hard To Get

Sure, teasing and flirting are all part of the fun in the initial stages. When it drags on for too long, though, frustration can build. You want to strike a good balance between playing coy and being direct.
