Currently watching a cringe dating video and I need to yeet a few off my chest:

Guys: For the love of God, ASK HER QUESTIONS. Awkward silence? Ask her about her family. She is asking about you? Ask about her passions. Her last hobbies. Everyone loves talking about themselves. If you like a girl, make her talk and she will like you.

For anybody: See someone cute at school? At the gym? Strike up convo about literally anything - "Oh damn nice shoes, where did you buy them?" - Feed this and later ask for their Insta. Instagram is public enough people will give it out, but private enough you can follow up in DMs later

While dating: Do things to make him/her happy. Don't expect anything back. Do their chores. Buy them a gift. Take them on a surprise date. Be happy when they're happy.
