The Rules Of Gay Dating

-

Profession­al matchmaker, David Cruz, drops some handy hints on meeting Mr Right. “These are my three Golden Rules Of Gay Dating. They may sound simple, but they are easier said than done. Can they really help you find love? Yes!” #1: Get Happy You must decide how happy you are in your life as an individual. Your personal happiness shouldn’t be dependent on being with another guy, but enhanced by one. Make sure you are the very best version of yourself before you look for a mate. #2: Abandon Hookups And Headless Torsos This may be a hard for some gay men but get off Grindr, Scruff, Hornet and everything else that gives you instant gratificat­ion. Gay men are guilty of confusing sex with love and vice versa. In order to fully appreciate a real relationsh­ip, you need to go on dates and dates never start with sex. Never. #3: Commit To The Time You must commit to the time and effort it takes to be a dater. The process of dating, when done with intention and effort, takes time. Don’t get frustrated by how long it takes, or how many bad dates you have. Remember, every great invention was created after many failed attempts.

David hosts Finding Cupid, a blog and radio show about gay relationsh­ips. He is also a cast member on the hit TV show, The Millionair­e Matchmaker. Askfinding­cupid@gmail.com
