#datingin30s

No one ever said online dating was easy. You swipe and you swipe until you find a guy that you really like.  Maybe he’s really cute and checks off all of the wants on your list (I find these lists tend to get shorter with time). 

You message him with something witty and let our your flirty side, while still trying to play somewhat “hard to get.”  It’s almost like a dance; you both go back and forth in this dance, and you just want him to ask you for your number so you can go out!

You laugh at all of his jokes, tell him he has a nice smile, and show that your super patient (even though your cussing at your phone for him to hurry up and make a move lol).  You’re a smooth operator....or give the illusion of one ;) 

After talking to many girlfriends about online dating, it was one of my dearest one’s who said something very profound and true:

When you really want a guy, remember to just back off and let them do their thing.  Let them know what we want and that we are interested, and see what they do about it. If they’re right, they’ll try to do what we ask and will make an effort to move things along.  If not, NEXT!
