Let’s face it: Dating these days can be daunting. Sure, potential partners abound online. But it cuts both ways. Constantly comparing yourself with other men on dating apps can be demoralizing. “There’s a different level of inadequacy that comes with dating online,” says therapist Frank Anderson. And then there’s the challenge of taking your budding relationship from digital to physical. Follow these basic rules to make yourself the best match possible.

1. Meet In Person As Soon As Possible

You might be suave online, but as Hemingway put it, “Never mistake motion for action.” Dating is about risk – the unknown. The sooner you meet in person, the sooner all of your senses are engaged.

2. Don’t Assume You Should Know What Your Date Is Thinking

If they say they want to be affectionate, it’s on you to ask how they define affection, which could mean something different to you.

3. Be Open

Being clear about what you’re looking for and what makes you comfortable isn’t a sign of weakness but strength. Also, women find humility, vulnerability, and curiosity sexy.

4. Ghosting Is For Chumps

You don’t have to go into a whole song and dance, but learning how to reject someone and take rejection while seeing that nobody crumbles is still a tenet of being a stand-up guy.
