#devyn on dating

The only people that look good being vengeful are God, Samuel L. Jackson, and the Avengers. Resist the urge to leave that long voicemail or to post that nasty tweet.  Why would you want to waste energy on someone who doesn't appreciate your value anyway? That makes about as much sense as Kris Jenner having a talk show (you were thinking it..I just said it). If you really want to look like a winner, back away from the keyboard and call a friend, sing a song, take a mini-vacation..anything that will help you move forward. Being spiteful will only make you look like a macadamia #nut. You're better than that. Besides, your future happiness will be so rewarding you'll forget all about that nonsense (and you'll still have your dignity). 

Don't end up on an episode of Snapped (google it) just because your ego wanted to date everyone on Tinder. Give your date at least two chances as long as they don't display any major red flags. Countless love stories have started with two people who weren't so hot for each other in the beginning. It's easy for a first date to go bad (especially if one of you is nervous). Remember no one is perfect (not even you) but you and your "mediocre" first date might actually be perfect for each other.

Do call her with a purpose. Set up an actual date with a day and time. Make a plan of where you'd like to take her or what you guys should do. DON'T keep texting her pointless text messages like "What'd you do last weekend" or "Hey, what's up". You know what's not "up" when you do that? Your game! Just because she has unlimited texting doesn't mean she wants to use it on you. Put forth a solid amount of effort ( not stalker level) or your half ass text messages will eventually be ignored.

Consider #DevynOnDating to be the mini-snickers bar of relationship advice. Whether you're single and not looking or happily married, these dating tips are little nuggets of wisdom created to make you smile and think (how do they fit all that goodness in just one bite?!).  The most successful professionals in any field are always looking for new ways to improve their craft. Do you think Steve Jobs would say, "I created the Iphone 4. I don't need to research anything else"? Hell No! Steve would tell you that there are two constants for any living thing. You are either growing or you're dying. Growing is what happens when you keep your mind open and embrace the lessons presented to you. Dying is when you close your mind and say, "I don't need this. I don't have to learn. I already know the answers." Be like Steve and grow my friends. Besides, if you're dead no one is going to date you.
