I remember a time when life seemed simpler. Dating didn't seem as complicated and interpersonal relationships didn't seem as strained as they are these days. Namaste and welcome.
Now I'm no expert, but I'm a student of life and I do happen to notice things from time to time. For example I don't really think that people should be allowed to get married if they are under 25. This is the age of maturity for most "adult" males. For some it takes longer. Also, I don't think it's a horrible idea for those seeking a relationship to try online dating. It is often easier to weed out potential psychos, mama's boys, crazy bitches, and all around fruit-cakes... unless that's what you are looking for... they are online too, let's agree.
To be certain, however, the old standby of meeting a male or female in a bar or club is outdated and will often lead to not-so-nice eventualities like roofies, date rape, and waking up next to an ugly person like "UGH!" or "WTF DID I DO LAST NIGHT?"
To avoid any unpleasantness as such listed above, there are a few simple things to keep in mind.
1) Don't YOU be the psycho that everyone is warned about.
2) Keep an open mind. Hope for the best, but plan for the worst. Being single is the time to work on SELF. When you become the best person possible, the opposite gender will gravitate toward you and you will have no trouble finding the right person.
3) If in doubt, double date... there is ALWAYS safety in numbers.
4) It doesn't hurt to have a back up plan while dating, however, once you are IN the relationship, you must let the other potential partner GO.
5)If you want your relationship to work, avoid social media websites like Face Book and Twitter. They are relationship killers. You don't want your personal life to become fodder for the rumor mill drama.
6) It is NEVER a good idea to date people at school or work. If or when the relationship fails it creates an awkward scenario that is no good for either person having to socialize, learn, or work around the EX.
7) If you aren't willing to take that person to meet mom and dad, he/she is NOT the one... keep looking. Most people would rather be let down at the beginning after one or two dates than to be in a relationship and then find out the ugly truth. There is no shame in admitting you made a mistake and the person you are with is NOT "the one". There is a thing called TACT, however, that allows you to let others down without coming off like a tool, bitch, psycho, or an asshole.
I could probably think of more good advice, but I'll save that for another day. I sincerely hope all who read this are able to find love and happiness from this life to the next. Peace be with you. This is the one and only Quiet Mouse.
