Sharing dating advice and even dating requires one to always stay open to new things and to keep focused on our goals, and I try to do that. Why? Well people are definitely not the same – everything we may like or not like and anything in between. However, people want pretty much identical things no matter what their background, sex, race, age, religious beliefs or sexual orientation might be. What is that? Well, everyone wants security, love and companionship.

Dating is a road everyone takes in their lives, and it certainly isn’t something that’s easy. That’s why you’ll find a lot of dating advice in every type of media: the Internet, television, radio, magazines, books and even newspapers.

And, where does that lead us? Well, back to the ultimate question: for your dating advice, where do you look to get good information? Do you trust one of the experts on the radio or television, or do you consult your best friend or your sister or even the ex-boyfriend you had a lot of fun with?

Dating advice can be quite important to a lot of people, especially when you feel like it might be the right time to ask the big questions like “are we exclusive” or “where is this going?” Those are the questions we hate to ask because we worry that the person isn’t ready to hear it. Often, we keep it bottled up, hoping the other person gets up the gumption to ask instead. So, where do you go to get the answers to these kinds of questions?

When I’ve needed dating advice, I’ve always gone to the people closest to me: my mom. Now, I don’t always tell her all the details about the sex or any drinking I might have done – I mean, whose mom really wants to know all of that? Any of the big details – like the size of his penis – goes only to the girls on a night out. Mom’s dating advice is always good, and most importantly, honest. Because of her advice, I’ve been able to keep true to my heart regardless of the outcome. That’s why, when people ask me for advice, I can say that it's important to be truthful to yourself – that means everything including what you want. Try to be easy-going with dating. Oh, and always practice good hygiene, since a lot of people are turned off by bad teeth or dirty underwear. Most importantly, be sure to enjoy yourself and laugh. A lot.
