Singles have bad news: Pew Research found that dating rules and behaviors have altered in a way that makes dating harder. Despite the unexplored playing field, some dating rules still apply.
One dating "do" that persists is that males should initiate. However, many women offer to pay on dates. Guys, hear that? If you invite us to supper, we may pay. We see a win-win.

To determine chemistry with your date. Male and female daters believe that 25 minutes is enough to decide. Worried your next date will leave if he's not interested? Don't—Match.com reported only 12% of singles left before the night ended.

6
All singles have social media issues. Wait until the relationship is exclusive or request a buddy after 2-3 dates. Although "People who wait to friend their dates for about a month have the highest rate of relationship success," this may help you control your add-friend finger early on.

Listening and understanding others helps improve relationships. If you disagree with someone or offer good advice, it's easy to interrupt. However, actively listening to someone as they speak can improve relationship communication and reduce disputes.
