HOW TO actually hold up your boundary on first date #dating #dates #boundaries #girl #girltalk

how to ACTUALLY not get smashed on a first date:

• Keep the pre-game dress-up routine down to 50%, at most. if you try and look your best, you'll believe all the compliments that you look great, and want to affirm them by putting out.

• Keep physical contact to a minimum. No shoulder leaning or arm laying, no back rubs, no hair playing, definitely no movies in loveseat recliners. The less physical touching before the question, the bigger a step the question will seem.

• Pay for your half. Avoids feelings of obligation and also temptation of securing a boy who was raised right

• Only date dusty butt neighbors you wouldn't want to smash anyway. Pick your dates based on who's kind and emotionally available and other things the marshmallow muffin doesn't care about

• Most importantly, accept that reason and accountability are beyond your reach and that you must babyproof your dating life to avoid the temptations of ho-ery before the date, not during.
