Men Are Boring? Dating Advice from Erica & Meryl
Okay, so you've swiped right on a bunch of dudes, and they all seem like...well, kinda boring. Same old "Netflix and chill" routine, right? You're not alone! We've been there too, and honestly, it's enough to make you want to swipe left on the whole dating scene. But before you give up on finding a truly interesting guy, let's talk about how to spice things up, and maybe, just maybe, actually have a good time.
Stop Looking for the "Perfect" Guy
First things first, ditch the expectations. There's no such thing as the perfect guy, and trying to find him will just leave you frustrated. It's like trying to find the unicorn of dating apps. You'll spend hours swiping, and at the end of the day, you'll probably just end up with a headache.
Instead, focus on finding a guy who you can genuinely connect with. Someone who shares your interests, makes you laugh, and you can actually have a good time with, even if he's not your dreamboat. Think about it, you'd be surprised what you can discover about someone when you actually stop focusing on the perfect facade and just chat.
Go Beyond the Surface Level
So how do you find these hidden gems? Well, you gotta go beyond the typical dating app questions. Ask him something unique, something that will truly make him think. Instead of asking what his favorite movie is, maybe ask him about a book he's read recently. Maybe ask him about the most interesting thing he's learned lately. You never know, it might spark a conversation that could lead you to an amazing date.
Make it an Adventure, Not a Checklist
Here's a secret: guys are just as bored with the dating scene as you are. So ditch the tired old date ideas like dinner and a movie. Instead, try something different, something that will actually make you both laugh and forget about the dating app for a few hours.
Go for a hike, check out a local brewery, or take a cooking class. Make it an experience, not just a date. And you know what? You might even learn something new about yourself! Plus, it's a surefire way to break the ice and have a fun, memorable experience together.
Be Authentically You
And the most important tip of all? Be yourself! That's right, don't try to be someone you're not. Let your personality shine through. We're talking the real you, not the filtered Instagram version. You'll attract guys who are genuinely interested in who you are, not who you think they want you to be.
So go out there, be yourself, have fun, and remember, the best dates are often the most unexpected ones. You never know, you might just surprise yourself and find a guy who's just as interesting as you are.
