Dating can be a nerve-wracking experience at the best of times, let alone when it’s been years since you last had to put yourself out there.
can be particularly difficult – not only does being single feel like unfamiliar territory, but the end of a relationship you thought would work out can really mess with your confidence.
“If you’ve just got out of a long-term relationship and you’d prefer to keep your options open before jumping into anything new, that’s completely fine. However, if you’re ready to get back out there and find your new flame straight away, that’s also totally OK,” says Laura Wilkinson-Rea, UK senior director of communications at Tinder.
“Think about what you’ve learned from the relationship. What were the best parts of your relationship, the ones you hope to replicate in the next one? What are the things you want to leave in the past, and will do differently next time? Self-reflection is one of the best ways to break bad dating habits and find your person.”The type of connection you have is the best way to tell whether a date is going well.
“So, if you’re able to find joy in those moments in conversation, whether subtly flirting or discussing your favourite TV show, that’s a sign to continue – slowly but surely. And when you want to take this face to face, begin with shorter dates, like going for a walk or getting a coffee.”Modern dating can be incredibly overwhelming. Not only are there so many apps to choose from, but the number of people available to swipe left or right on can make finding someone feel like a massive task.
