Lifestyle News Desk,Dating strangers and hoping that the next person you meet will be your soulmate is no easy task. If you are entering the cafe with hope in your heart only to return disappointed and without a second date, read on. We delve into woke dating to uncover some unspoken rules that can help you make a good impression. So, take a look at some key behaviours that you should avoid while dating in the 21st century.
being superficial or shallow
Gone are the days when you judge someone based on their looks. Dressing up for a date is your own choice, you should also be ready to accept and love the flawed person under the flawless makeup. Above all, don’t think that you can shame your date for not having the desired dimensions in your lover. Remember that it doesn’t cost anything to make someone respect you.
Homophobia or homophobic remarks
This is a big one. There was a time ages ago when mainstream media or movies didn’t shy away from cracking homophobic jokes in the name of situational comedy. However, that is no longer the case. Therefore, you must control yourself and educate yourself so that you don’t end up cracking offensive jokes at the expense of our LGBT community when you go on a date.
Gender-based stereotypes
You should also remember to stay away from gender-based stereotypes. For example, don’t imply that a woman’s role is only in the kitchen or suggest that your date give up her career after marriage. And when it comes to men, don’t make fun of them for wearing makeup or choosing a pink shirt. Remember that it is perfectly acceptable for men to be crossdressers or for women to work while their husbands are housewives, among other things.
