4 Ways to Add Diversity to Your Dating Experience and Find “The One”
Do you go on first dates every month but haven’t met the right person yet? You are probably meeting the wrong people. You need to change your approach to dating and have a new experience.
The thing is that we don’t always understand who we need in our lives. We keep going on dates with people who we wrongly believe are “our type,” and every time we achieve the same results—we get disappointed and feel lonely. Do you want to change this? Here is a list of date ideas for you.
Date with someone who is not your type
First and foremost, you should shift your focus from dating people of “your type” to dating any people who show interest in you. There are many great people out there, and they don’t have to meet any specific standards (you have set in your head) to be a good match for you.
Did you go on dates only with redheads? Next time, go on a date with a blond girl. Did you go on dates with sporty, in-shape, over-6-foot-tall guys? Now you should go on a date with someone who doesn’t play any sports. It will be a totally new experience for you. Whether this experience will be positive or negative, it will help you better understand what type of person you want to see next to you.
Date with a foreigner
Have you ever been in a relationship with someone who doesn’t belong to your culture? You need this experience in your life. If you miss something in men or women in your culture, you may find that in other nations.
Let’s say you want to be with a family-oriented girl, but most women in your country are focused on their careers. To meet the girl of your dreams, you should look for her in family-oriented countries (Mexico, Philippines, Cambodia, etc.).
Since we live in a digital era, you don’t have to travel far to find this person. You can use an international dating app to meet people with different cultural backgrounds.
Date with an LGBTQ+ person
Are you in the stage of exploring your sexuality? Do you want to expand your sexual horizons? Download a transgender dating app and meet LGBTQ+ people. Whether you are straight or gay, you can go on dates with people whose sexual orientation and gender identity don’t match yours. It’s another great way to test yourself and see what you really value in the relationship.
Date with someone who is significantly older/younger than you
Do you have a rule to never date someone who is X years older or younger than you? We highly encourage you to cross this rule at least once. Some older people can be more fun than people of your age. And some younger folks can be more thoughtful and mindful than you. So be open to new opportunities, and don’t ask your potential dates about their age.
Wrapping up
When it comes to meeting “the one”, rules and logic don’t work. So don’t set any rules or limits. Listen to your heart and let the Universe guide you to your Mr/Mrs Right.
