Dating is exciting and fun, but it’s also risky. Besides basic issues regarding your personal safety, you’re also putting your heart and emotions out there. Who you date and why are you’re dating them is entirely up to you. You’re a grown-up; you don’t need your friends or your family’s permission to date someone, although sometimes their input and insight (not to mention their connections) can be a benefit. That said, here are a few simple rules of dating dos and donts designed to keep you safe and help you have more fun!
Although it can be tempting age-wise to date someone much younger, DO date someone more or less your age, at least within a decade. Why? Because you’ll automatically have more in common and more shared cultural references. Also, a person approximately your own age often has more shared types of life experiences, such as grown children, aging parents, previous marriage/committed relationship experience. Dating someone, for example, who has very young children when yours are grown creates its own set of conflicts.
DON’T date anyone once related to you, like your ex sister-in-law’s ex-husband. While you may have always gotten along at family gatherings, think how the rest of your relatives will think once the news gets out.
