10 Dating Mistakes Every Woman Makes in Her 20s
In your 20s, dating is fun and can be exciting, but it's also very stressful. So when you're just starting to date and get comfortable with someone, you want to ensure that things are moving along at the right pace and that everyone's having fun.
But if you're not careful, some mistakes that even experienced women regularly make when dating in their 20s could end up making them look bad or causing them to miss out on something good!
To help prevent this from happening to you (and help keep my brother off my back), here are ten common mistakes made by women in their 20s who are looking for love:
1. Being overly self-critical.
It's easy to be hard on yourself when dating. You don't want to make a mistake, and you don't want the man you like to think less of you. But trying too hard will only make things worse.
There is nothing wrong with being confident in who you are. Of course, it's essential not to be arrogant, but there's also no reason for self-doubt when dating or anything else in life! Being overly critical will only make things worse for yourself because it can lead to anxiety about what others think about your choices or actions — which could cause more mistakes instead of fewer.
