If you are single, you’ve likely heard every bad dating advice out there. Everyone has advice for you, whether you ask for it or not and half of them don’t even know what they are talking about. The real life is not a Sex and the City episode and widely-known tips for a “great date” should be avoided by all means. This is our collection of simply the worst dating advice clichés we’ve ever heard – number 9 is our favorite!

– 1 –

Act natural.

(If you have to act, then it ain’t natural!)

– 2 –

Just get out there.

(If you know where “there” is, please let us know)

– 3 –

Only order a salad on the first date.

(Why?)

– 4 –

Wait three days before calling or texting.

(He/she just, but just, might think you’re not interested)

– 5 –

Be open.

(Can you be a little more specific?)

– 6 –

Be a jerk. Ladies love bad boys.

(Ladies love somebody who will respect them, not idiots!)

– 7 –

He won’t buy the cow if he can get the milk for free.

(This is just offensive.)

– 8 –

Guys don’t make passes at girls who wear glasses.

(Didn’t you hear about the sexy librarian look?)

– 9 –

DON`T SHAVE YOUR LEGS ON A FIRST DATE.

(Sure, come as a werewolf!)

Play hard to get.

(While you are playing, he/she could just move on to the next one.)

– 11 –

Never go Dutch.

(Men are not obliged to pay the bill – face it!)

– 12 –

Be sweet and quiet. No one likes a girl who has a comment for everything.

(What century do we live in – Middle Ages?)

– 13 –

Dating is hard work.

(Dating should be fun.)

– 14 –

Don’t talk about God, sex or politics on the first date.

(Check again number 12 for the answer)

Be fashionably late.

(Be on time, it’s disrespectful not to show on time.)
