Dating etiquette has evolved rapidly, but some truths remain the same. Here, two of our reporters give their views on four major dating topics:
It’s best to tell someone that you aren’t interested as soon as you know. Let’s face it, sometimes you know from the very first meeting. There is no point in stringing someone along.
The longer you let someone think you are interested, the more their feelings will be hurt when you eventually part ways. Ask yourself: can you see yourself introducing this person to your closest friends and family? If the answer is no, move on.Breakups hurt, whether they’re lovers or friends. The question should be: how do we minimize the pain? Ghosting isn’t nice, but neither is blatant honesty. Think kindness.
There are too many other fish in the sea. Who wants to be compared to their friends? And don’t think that you won’t get that comparison; whether it’s done consciously or not, we all do it. Do you measure up to them? Do you kiss like them? How are you in bed? Romantically? Etc. If you’ve had fewer than four dates, without sexual intimacy, a simple breakup text spares you both the awkwardness. After all, what is there to discuss? Be kind. Be done.If you’re engaged in a mutually exclusive relationship, text is dismissive. A conversation may be warranted to give you both closure.
