What is the best dating advice you was ever given?

[ey****]

I guess a spin-off. Like, actually a lot of meeting people and arranging dates is hard.   However, kinda then blaming others for not obtaining your goal is often a little weak and sniffs of entitlement.  Like, yes, dating sites have folk who are attempting to run a scam, but it's not just men who can be targetted for scams.  Fakes are not the issue made out.

It is difficult I guess in the sense that especially with kink there are a lot of people with different backgrounds and different experiences and some are excited to try - and then when it becomes real, the nerves set in. Again, there's no rules on which gender is most likely to flake when nerves set in.

It is always worth, if you're actively looking, to look in more than one place.  Folk overlook the community a lot, but you know people are real cos they're, well, there.... and experiences from the community can translate into experiences you can take to online - that someone is no longer a rando hoping someone will do a kink for them, but someone being proactive in learning about what they want to do.

Fucking don’t. Just like be single don’t involve yourself with anyone. Male or female. Gay or straight, left or right. If you just don’t interact or entertain anyone and you only focus on yourself and your career. Make yourself nice home, save enough to go on vacations here and there. Have a good relationship with your family maybe one friend or two. No drama no stress. No expectations to have to deal with. No nagging, no emotional energy or physical energy drain situations. You can do whatever you want or need to do without having to explain yourself or every single decision you make. You don’t have two mouths to feed. You don’t have to entertain someone 24 hours a day. You don’t have to have a huge house or super nice car or anything you can just like you know work come home and relax. Like damn. Honestly if I could go back and never date anyone I probably would be a professional athlete. Really goes for friends too. Honestly thought about going off grid and just living in the wild by myself forever so I don’t have to deal with anyone anymore. I don’t have to pay just to be able to wake up in the morning.

As I've never run my own business, I'm a bit at a loss here, but I'm curious! So how would you treat the relationship then?
