8 Dating Myths that Should Totally Be Ditched
5. Never reveal your full past
Everyone is playing the dating game and there is no shame in being honest with your partner about your past. If a man expects his partner to be a virgin until marriage then it’s his problem, thanks to his medieval age thinking, not yours.
6. Dumb down yourself
It’s a myth that intelligent women intimidate men. In today’s modern world where one needs an intelligent partner to work and help in finances, men would readily accept a woman who is more intellectual than them. Don’t dumb yourself down thinking you will appear cute or more accommodating under any circumstances.
7. Settle for someone fast
Yes women have that biological clock ticking away but this doesn’t mean that you settle for someone who only fulfills half of the criteria that you set for your Mr. Right. It’s better to have babies by other methods than have it with someone whom you know is not going to last long. Don’t compromise on your priorities just because society says so.
8. Wait for that spark
This is a thing that pop culture and media have been obsessing over since decades. In reality, you don’t feel the ‘spark’, the ‘sixth sense’ or the love at first sight that couples in movies do. In fact, studies have shown that if you get really attracted to someone at first glance, it mostly doesn’t work out in the long run. Don’t ditch a sweet guy just because everything is in place except that so called media created fireworks.
