Ladies, do these ten things if you want online dating to be easier
Knowledge is power
1. Never, ever chase after a man
I don’t mean don’t ever text first; that’s nonsense. But never, ever triple text, never slide into his DMs three weeks after he last ignored you, never beg him to call you, or plead with him to attend something with you or come over.
You don’t want a relationship with someone who didn’t choose you: ever. Even if they are amazing. If he’s bored and looking to use you for sex, you’ve made it extremely obvious you don’t have boundaries or self respect. Don’t get hurt, sis. If he hasn’t reached out for three days, or asked to see you again, delete him and move on.
2. ‘Busy’ just means too busy for you
Sure: he might have been too busy to text you back after your date. For a day. Maybe two. But not three and definitely not a week. If your stomach is telling you he isn’t replying or making plans enough to sustain a connection, listen to it. He’s just not that into you. Stop trying, say thank you for his time, delete and move on. Don’t ever get upset about this: he doesn’t know you. It doesn’t matter. Passing ships.
