Don’t Hate Dating

Dating can be exciting and fresh, but it can also be frustrating and upsetting. If you are constantly having bad experiences, it is hard to stay optimistic and you may want to take a break from getting out there.

Don't lose hope, many women feel this way. That's why Yahoo Shine published a list called When Dating Sucks: 5 Ways To Keep It Fun.

1) Don't take it so seriously. Dating can be stressful, but try to relax and focus on the moment. When you are relaxed you are more likely to give off a more positive image of yourself.

2) Be honest. Your wants and needs in a relationship are very important. If a guy doesn't have the same dreams as you for the future, he wasn't the right guy anyway. Don't get bummed out about the guys who were wrong for you and stay true to yourself.

3) Embrace the bad. If you're on a date and you can tell it's going nowhere, don't get upset. Take advantage of the opportunity to kick back and have a good time! A bad date can make for a great story. You can also ask the date what they think of you -- this may help you learn a little bit about yourself as a person and as a dater.

4) Keep an open mind. Leave your judgments at the door. Your date may have the style of a skater when you love preppy, but don't let that ruin it. If there's chemistry, relax and don't think so much about if he's your type or not.

5) Focus on you. Stop worrying about finding someone. It sounds cliche, but it's true. Do the things that make you happy, and that happiness will shine through and make you more attractive.
