7 Dating Advices From a Woman Who Went On 100 Dates In a Year

Dating in the 21st surgery is no child’s play — it demands grit, patience and the unending desire to get a move on and take mind games seriously while making sure you do not overdo it. What is more difficult than dating in general is dating once you have turned and crossed 30 but when there is a will, there is a way, and that is exactly what Holly Martyn is here to tell us. She went out on 100, yes, you read that right, 100 dates through a year to find the man of her dreams and quite understandably, she has some wisdom bombs to drop on us. Get some popcorn and get ready to date!

1. You have to get out

While there is absolutely nothing with being a homebody and enjoying staying in, jamming out to good music in your jammies, it poses a fundamental difficulty to dating- something that needs people to meet people. Do things that you enjoy doing and socialize, you never know when you meet Mr. Right and what’s better- they have similar hobbies and likes.

2. Heartbreak is okay

While not desirable and often times truly soul crushing, it is not the end of the world. It is only testimony that you are falling in love and putting yourself out there- living life and not just existing.

3. Sit alone

Whenever you are feeling adventurous, all you have to do is go out, get a reservation at a restaurant or go to the bookstore and hang out by yourself, keep yourself well-disposed and you will be approached by someone or the other.

4. It is all about numbers

If the title was not enough, we are here to make a separate point out of this. Nothing is more important than numbers. It is plain statistics, if you meet 20 people, at least 2 will be remarkable, do the math and check out your chances when you meet as much as 100 people.

5. Online dating can be fun

There is a general scepticism that online dating suffers from, but that really is not necessary. You just need to keep an open mind and not dismiss it just because. Love is wonderful thing so give yourself every opportunity to look for it.

6. Let people know that you are available

If they do not know, they would not approach, it is as simple as that. Also, make sure that your friends and family know, so that they try their good old setting-up moves. While they set you up, you should to help them find love, too. You get what you give, you reap what you sow.

7. Patience is a virtue

Well, the dates will not always be great and things might overwhelm you, but that is the joy of it, too. Do not give up, things will certainly look up. For every good date, there will three that are terrible, but that is just how things work and that is okay, really.
