You\u2019ve almost certainly heard both of them. You\u2019ve probably even tried to act on them. And the results weren\u2019t what you were looking for.<\/p>\n<p>The very worst dating advice is bad precisely because it seems to make sense. But it doesn\u2019t produce the results you\u2019re looking for.<\/p>\n<p>By way of example, here are two common pieces of dating advice you\u2019re better off avoiding.<\/p>\n<p>What not to do.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Bad Dating Tip #1: \u201cJust be yourself.\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>How many times have you heard people tell you to just be yourself? It sounds like really good advice, especially if you\u2019re trying to make a heart-to-heart connection.<\/p>\n<p>At its core, the idea of being yourself is solid. But it makes for bad dating advice because you\u2019re most yourself when you\u2019re not even thinking about \u201cbeing yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Bad Dating Tip #2: \u201cPlay hard to get.\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>A guy worth pursuing has lots of options when it comes to pairing up with a dating partner. And as a rule of thumb, people follow the path of least resistance.<\/p>\n<p>If a guy is a good match for you, then time together will strengthen the romantic feelings he has for you. If his interest was only based on the excitement of \u201cthe chase,\u201d then what\u2019s going to sustain the relationship once you\u2019re a committed couple?<\/p>\n<p>Are you ready to know the three things you should do instead?<\/p>\n<p>Instead of that, do this.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no magic bullet for guaranteed dating success. But there are some solid principles that make it way easier to form a connection.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of the bad advice above, try these simple but effective tips.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Simple Tip #1: Focus on getting to know each other.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Have conversations that matter\u2014and that allow both of you to get to know the other person better.<\/p>\n<p>Share what\u2019s important to you. Ask about what\u2019s important to him. Talk about movies. Ask about hobbies.<\/p>\n<p>Eventually, share your political views and spiritual beliefs. The goal is to know his values and to make sure he knows yours.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Simple Tip #2: Focus on having fun.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Dating isn\u2019t always easy. Sometimes it doesn\u2019t feel entertaining at all. But when it works, it should be fun.<\/p>\n<p>So find ways to have fun with him. Do things you both like doing, and try not to over analyze where the relationship is at any given point in time.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, sometimes a \u201cstate of the relationship\u201d talk is needed, but those times are rare. The rest of the time, you should enjoy each other\u2019s company.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Simple Tip #3: Focus on how you feel.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>I know it\u2019s a little trite to say \u201cfollow your heart.\u201d But I also know that smart, well-adjusted, emotionally mature women usually know deep-down where a relationship is headed.<\/p>\n<p>If there\u2019s a connection with a guy, you\u2019ll feel it. If things are misaligned, you\u2019ll feel that, too. Don\u2019t be afraid to tap into those feelings and follow them.<\/p>\n<p>The worst advice is dangerous because it kind of makes sense. By contrast, the best dating advice is so simple it seems too simple.<\/p>\n<p>Get to know him. Have fun. Stay tuned into how you feel.<\/p>\n<p>Those three things, as simple as they are, really will set you up for the romance you\u2019ve always wanted.<\/p>\n<h2><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.meetysweet.com\/go\/bauer\">Video: The #1 Trait Men Desire In A Woman<\/a> <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Fair warning:<\/strong> once you do this, there&#8217;s no turning back.
