I've compiled an epic list of 50 tips for dating in 2023 that may seem a little unconventional, but trust me, they'll push you out of your comfort zone and into the arms of your soulmate! And let's be real, if you're not willing to try new things, then how are you ever going to find your perfect match?

So, dust off that old dating app profile in Aphrodyte, put on your best outfit, and get ready to rock the dating scene like the god or goddess you are! It may be a bumpy ride, but with a little help from me, you'll be riding off into the sunset with your true love in no time. Let's do this, my darlings!

1 Communicate your needs

When it comes to dating, communication is key, especially when it comes to your needs. Don't be shy, my loves, speak up and let your date know what you're looking for right from the get-go.

If you're after a long-term relationship and your date is only interested in a quick fling, well then it's a waste of time! Set those boundaries and stick to them like glue. Don't let anyone waste your precious time or break your heart.

Trust me, my beauties, there are plenty of fish in the sea, and you deserve to find the perfect one who will treat you like the god or goddess you truly are. So, be bold, be confident, and communicate your needs like the fabulous creatures you are!

2 Don’t get attached to people you barely know

I know it can be tempting to fall head over heels in love with someone you've just met, but slow down there, Cupid! Don't get too attached too quickly!

You may think you've found the one, but let's be real, you barely know them! You could be projecting all your hopes and dreams onto them, without even realizing it. So, take a step back, take a deep breath, and give it a few dates before you start planning your future together.

Remember, my love, getting to know someone takes time, patience, and a little bit of humor. You never know, they could be the one for you, or they could turn out to be a total bust, like that time I tried to set Zeus up with a nice girl from Cyprus. Let's just say, it didn't go as planned!

So, keep an open mind, don't rush into anything, and enjoy the ride. Who knows, maybe you'll end up falling in love with someone who's just as fabulous as the island of Cyprus itself!

3 If they stop texting don’t make a big deal about it

If the one you chose fails to reply, do not fret! You have the grace of the goddess Aphrodite coursing through your veins, and there are plenty of other souls to enchant with your charms. Perhaps your potential lover is simply extremely busy with their earthly affairs, but if they truly desire your presence, they shall make the effort to reach out to you. Do not waste your divine energy obsessing over a lack of response, for there are countless fish in the sea waiting to be caught by you. If a few messages go unanswered, it may be time to move on to focus on new epic adventures. After all, you are a goddess - you have better things to do than chase after mortals who don't appreciate your divine radiance!

4 Don’t let them talk you into waiting if they’re not ready

If your chosen lover utters the infamous "I like you, but..." be prepared for a wild ride on the emotional rollercoaster! As a goddess of love, I can tell you that these words are often a sign that your potential paramour may not be ready for your divine love just yet. Will they ever be ready? Who knows! But don't waste your precious time and energy pining after someone who can't appreciate your divine radiance right now. Keep your heart open to new experiences and adventures, and remember - there are plenty of other mortals out there who are more than ready to bask in your divine glow. So keep shining, my darlings, and never settle for less than you deserve!

5 Don’t stress out about labels

If you desire official labels with your current paramour, don't be afraid to speak up! But beware, if they're hesitant to put a label on your divine love, it may be a sign that they're not taking things as seriously as you are. Trust your gut, but also have an honest conversation with your beloved and ask them why they're hesitant to label your love. Dig deep, and you may uncover the root cause of their reluctance. Perhaps they're scared of commitment or maybe they're secretly a demigod with a divine mission that prevents them from settling down. Whatever the case may be, keep an open mind and heart, and remember that you are a goddess of love - you deserve nothing but the best!

6 Stop putting in the effort if they’re not that into you

If you're feeling like your love is one-sided, it's time to evaluate whether this is truly the type of relationship you want to invest your precious energy into! As a goddess of love, I can tell you that true love is a two-way street. If your beloved truly loves you, they'll put in the effort and energy to make you feel cherished and adored. If they're not willing to do so, then it's time to re-evaluate whether they truly deserve your divine love and attention. After all, you are a goddess - your love and affection are highly sought after by mortals and gods alike! Don't waste your time on someone who doesn't appreciate your divine radiance. Keep your heart open to new experiences and adventures, and remember that you deserve nothing but the best!

8. Don’t ignore the red flags

If you're seeing a red flag or two, it's time to ask yourself if this is truly the type of divine love you want to invest your precious time in! As a goddess of love, I can tell you that the last thing you want to do is wait around, only to realize that this potential lover was not a fit for you after all. Time is a precious resource - you can never get it back once it's gone! So, if you're feeling uncomfortable with the red flags popping up left and right, it may be time to draw a line and move on to other divine love opportunities. After all, you are a goddess - your love and attention are highly sought after by mortals and gods alike! Stop wasting your time on someone who doesn't deserve your divine radiance. Keep your heart open to new experiences and adventures, and remember that you deserve nothing but the best!

9. Follow your intuition

You must always trust your divine intuition! If something feels off about your divine love interest or if you're just not feeling the spark, don't waste your time or theirs by dragging things out. It's okay to break it off - in fact, it's the responsible thing to do! Life is too short to waste time on relationships that don't bring you divine joy and fulfillment. As a goddess of love, I encourage you to be brave and follow your heart's desire. Keep your standards high and your heart open, and remember that you are a divine being worthy of the most magical and fulfilling love experiences imaginable!

10. Share your location with a friend on a first date

Safety should be the first priority when it comes to dating! If you're planning to meet a potential date in person, be sure to take precautions to ensure your divine safety. Share your location with a trusted friend or enable the Find My Friends feature on your iPhone, so your friend can keep an eye on your whereabouts. It may seem like overkill, but it's better to be safe than sorry when it comes to matters of the heart! As a goddess of love, I want nothing but the best for you - and that includes your divine safety and well-being. So, be smart, be safe, and enjoy the magical experience of finding divine love!

11 Ask for more photos or Instagram

it's not uncommon to find profiles with only a few divine photos. But fear not! If you're curious to learn more about your potential lover, don't hesitate to ask for their Instagram! It's a divine tool that can give you a glimpse into their daily life and divine interests. However, keep in mind that not everyone may be comfortable sharing their Instagram, especially if you're not yet acquainted. As a goddess of love, I encourage you to be respectful of others' boundaries and remember that trust and intimacy take time to build. So, if your potential lover isn't keen on sharing their Instagram right away, don't fret! Instead, focus on building a divine connection through meaningful conversations and shared experiences. The rest will fall into place in divine timing.

12 Don’t go over to your dates house on the first date

It's crucial to be wise when it comes to your safety and well-being during dates! While it may seem like a no-brainer, it's always a wise idea to get to know your potential lover before visiting their divine abode. Why not start with a divine cup of coffee or a drink in a public setting? This will give you a chance to get to know each other better and see if the divine sparks are flying before taking things to the next level. Plus, meeting in a public setting can help ease any anxiety or tension that may come with meeting someone new. So, don't rush into anything too soon! Take your time, enjoy the divine moments of getting to know each other, and always prioritize your divine safety and comfort.

13 Meet in a public setting

I must caution you against it. Your divine safety should always be a top priority, and that means choosing a public setting with plenty of other mortals around. Why not choose a lively area with many other mortals? This will not only ensure your divine safety, but it will also give you and your date a chance to experience the divine energy of a bustling crowd. So, let's make sure to prioritize our divine safety and comfort, and always choose a public setting with plenty of other mortals around. Remember, your divine love journey should be full of divine magic, not divine danger!

14 Treat it as an experience/process

Let me remind you that dating is a divine process, not a divine punishment! It's understandable to feel frustrated when your dates don't live up to your divine expectations, but let's try to reframe that mindset, shall we? Think of each date as a divine opportunity to learn what you truly desire in a divine partner. Even the bad dates can be helpful in guiding you towards your divine destiny. So, my darlings, don't give up hope! Keep an open mind and a divine heart, and trust in the divine process of dating. Remember, every divine step you take brings you closer to the divine love you deserve.

15 Wear protection

Let me remind you that protection is divine! We live in a modern world, and it's important to prioritize our divine health and safety when it comes to dating. Don't be fooled by sweet words or false promises - protect yourself from unwanted surprises, both physical and emotional. Remember, divine protection is not just about avoiding unwanted pregnancies or STDs, but also about empowering yourself to make divine choices that align with your values and desires. So, my dear, let us embrace the divine power of protection and make dating a divine experience that brings us joy and fulfillment, rather than divine regret.

16 Don’t be strong-armed into sexting / sending nudes

Some mortals still need to learn boundaries when it comes to intimacy. If your date asks for a peek or wants to get naughty over text, don't feel pressured to comply. Stand firm in your values and say no if you're not comfortable. Besides, pictures can be shared and stored, so you don't want any embarrassing moments. Remember, you are a goddess, and your body is sacred.

17 Use the block button if they send an unsolicited pic

Unsolicited pictures are a big no-no. If a man on a dating app sends you a picture of their...goods, don't hesitate to hit that report button. And if they still try to send them through your phone, block them like you would block Zeus from Olympus. At Aphrodite Dating App, we don't take these actions lightly and we want to make sure that everyone feels safe and respected.

18 Play attention to past relationships

When dating, it's normal to talk about your previous relationships. However, pay attention to what they're saying about their exes. If they talk about every single one with disgust, that could be a bad sign. After all, if they have nothing nice to say about their past relationships, what does that say about them?

19 If they’ve been married and kids?

There's no shame in being curious about your potential partner's past. If you're wondering whether they have children, don't hesitate to ask. It's important to know what you're getting yourself into and whether you're ready to take on the responsibilities that come with dating someone who has children. Remember, it's your life and your choice.

20 Religion

My love, it's important to find out if your date's family has any preferences for their partner. Don't be afraid to bring up the topic, as it could save you from a lot of drama later on. You don't want to invest your time and energy into a relationship only to find out that your partner's family doesn't approve of you.

21 Don’t let someone pressure you

I urge you to listen to your instincts when it comes to dating. If someone you're seeing is pushing you to do things that make you uncomfortable, it's important to remember that you have the power to say no. Don't confuse someone trying to coax you out of your comfort zone with someone who is pressuring you into something you don't want to do. If they continue to persist despite your objections, it's up to you to decide if this is the type of relationship you want to be in. Remember, you deserve to be with someone who respects your boundaries and makes you feel safe and loved.

22 Dating takes practice

Dating is a skill that takes time to master. Just like how I took time to learn how to charm even the gods, you will need to practice and build your dating muscle. Don't be too hard on yourself if your first few dates don't go as planned. Think of it as training with lightweights and gradually progressing to more complex exercises. Remember, practice makes perfect and eventually, you'll find your match made in the heavens.

23 Don’t let your parents influence you

I understand how difficult it can be when your parents disapprove of your romantic choices. However, it's important to remember that you are your own person and ultimately responsible for your own happiness. If you feel a strong connection with someone, don't let your parents' disapproval stop you from pursuing a relationship with them. Just be sure to have an open and honest conversation with them about your decision, and respectfully listen to their concerns. In the end, you must do what feels right for you.

24 Share common values

When seeking a companion, be sure that you share fundamental values with them. As the saying goes, opposites may attract, but they may also drive each other up the wall. It's important to have common ground and a shared outlook on life.

25 Don’t date someone looking for validation

When embarking on the journey of dating, beware of those who seek your love only to fill their own void. These individuals may not be ready to embark on such an adventure and may leave you in a chaotic and tumultuous relationship. Remember, you are not responsible for filling the holes in someone else's heart. Focus on finding someone who is ready to join you on your journey, not just seeking a quick fix.

26 Do they complement who you’re as a person

Sometimes it's easy to forget what truly matters. When you're on the prowl for a romantic partner, don't settle for just anyone. Look for someone who ignites the fire within you, who brings out the best version of yourself. Do they make you feel alive? Do they challenge you to grow and learn? Don't just settle for someone who's "good enough." You deserve to find someone who lights you up like the sun itself!

27 Do they make you feel good

I can tell you that dating someone who makes you feel like a soggy piece of lettuce is NOT worth it! You deserve to be with someone who makes you feel like a golden ray of sunshine! If they're bringing you down, let them go and find someone who lifts you up and makes you feel like a superhero! You're a catch, honey, and you should be with someone who recognizes that!

28 Do you learn from them

Hear my words of wisdom! When seeking a lifetime partner, it's important to consider their intellectual side. Don't just settle for someone who looks pretty or handsome, for beauty will fade in time. Instead, find someone who captivates your mind and soul, someone who intrigues you with their thoughts and insights. With the right person, you'll never run out of things to talk about, and your love will keep growing with every passing year.

29 Can they be your best friend

Look for someone who you can call your best friend, your confidante, your partner in crime. Life is too short to spend it with someone who doesn't make your heart sing. So, aim for the stars and find someone who will be your everything, not just your entertainment.

30 Don’t be afraid of making the first move

If you think it's the right moment to go in for a kiss, don't hold back! But, please, don't be creepy about it. Remember to respect your date's boundaries and take it slow. There's no need to rush into things, and a kiss after the first date isn't always necessary. Trust your instincts and do what feels right for you both.

31 Great sex

Bad sex is like eating a stale cookie, it's just not worth it. When choosing a partner, sexual compatibility is key. Don't settle for less than what you desire in the bedroom, as you may end up stuck in a lifetime of unsatisfying experiences.

Now, when it comes to protection, don't be afraid to speak up and demand it. It's not just about preventing unwanted pregnancies, but also about keeping yourself safe from STDs. Any guy who refuses to wear a condom or thinks pulling out is a valid form of birth control is not worth your time or risking your health. Stand firm in your decision to protect yourself and your body.

32 Respectful

Aphrodite is always looking out for you. Listen closely to your heart and gut, my love. If you're dating someone and they don't treat you or your loved ones with respect, it's time to show them the door. Life is too short to waste on someone who doesn't cherish you like the treasure you are. Keep shining bright, my dear!

33 Be honest with yourself

This is a question that's been asked since the beginning of time. What do you really want in a relationship? Are you really happy with your current boo or are you just settling? Don't waste your precious time waiting around for someone to change or hoping your feelings will magically transform. It's better to be honest with yourself and figure out what you truly desire. You might need some time to sort things out, but don't deceive yourself. You don't want to wake up one day with regrets because you lacked the courage to be truthful.

34 Be open to new experiences

There is nothing more alluring than a person who's willing to explore and try new things. Life is full of surprises, and it's a journey that we should embrace wholeheartedly. So, my advice to you is to keep an open mind and let the world show you its wonders. Who knows, you might just discover something that ignites your passions and sets your soul on fire.

35 Don’t over text

Don't be fooled by someone's text game. It's easy to seem like a prince charming behind a screen, but a total disaster in person. Make sure to actually go out on dates and meet face to face. That way you can see if there's real chemistry or if it was just a fluke in your phone's messaging app. So, put down your phone and go out into the world!

36 Don’t obsess after date #1

Oh, mortals, mortals, mortals, why do you rush into things so quickly? I, the goddess Aphrodite, urge you to take a breath and think twice before you jump into conclusions after just one date. Sure, the butterflies in your stomach may feel nice, but it's essential to not get ahead of yourself. Don't go crazy with the texting and calling, take a chill pill and give it some time. If you're obsessing over someone, take a step back, and clear your head. Go on a few more dates to see if this feeling lasts or if it's just a passing phase. Remember, patience is a virtue, and sometimes it's worth the wait.

37 Give compliments freely not to reciprocate

Oh darling, nothing makes someone's heart flutter like a genuine compliment! It's like magic, the way it can brighten up someone's day. So don't hold back, let the compliments flow like a river! If you think your date's eyes are mesmerizing, tell them! If you love how your partner always knows how to make you laugh, let them know! Don't keep all those kind thoughts to yourself, share them freely and watch the love grow.

38 Pay for your dates

Let us talk about the delicate matter of paying for dates. It is often said that men like to pay for dates, but it is always good to suggest splitting the bill. However, if your date insists on paying, do not be too defensive. Remember, paying for a date never means that you owe him anything in return. After all, a true connection is not built on financial transactions, but on mutual respect and affection.

39 Take all advices with a grain of salt?

Your friends can be a valuable resource, but sometimes their opinions are like a ship lost in the sea. It's crucial to listen to their thoughts and concerns, but remember that their experiences and desires may not be the same as yours. Don't let them steer your ship in a direction you don't want to go. Thank them for their advice, but ultimately, you're the captain of your own heart.

40 Date a few people until you find the right fit

If you seek love, take your time! Do not rush into relationships, like a bull charging into battle. No no no. Have fun, go on dates and enjoy the pleasures of company with a handsome gentleman. Be transparent with others. See what feels right and what does not. Do not settle for a mere mortal just because they are here. Hold your standards high, because you are worthy of the greatest love in all the heavens.

41 Figure out your Cycle

Ladies, it's essential to understand how our cycle may affect our emotions and behaviors during the dating process. For instance, during ovulation, we may feel more confident, attractive, and sexually driven, which may influence our decisions and actions. On the other hand, during menstruation, we may feel more vulnerable, sensitive, and emotional, which may affect how we communicate with our partners.

42 Go on dates that excite you

It's important to seek excitement and joy in dating, not boredom and routine. If you find yourself constantly going on lackluster dates, take a moment to reflect on what you truly desire. Don't be afraid to say no and decline a date if it's not sparking any interest within you. Your time is valuable, and so is theirs. Remember to always honor your desires and respect your own time.

Some say that 42 is the answer to love, the universe, and everything. Well, let me tell you one thing. There is no single answer to the mysteries of love! But fear not, for I shall impart upon thee 42 pieces of advice to guide you in your dating journey. So, beloved goddess, sit back, relax, and let the goddess of love lead the way!
