Though I do know people who love to date, many people dread the dating game. It's like playing the love lottery, except if you lose, you've just sacrificed hours of your life for a bad meal and worse company. And while a great date can lead to a wonderful romance, a terrible date can end with a lot of self-pity and general disappointment. So check out my tips for dealing with the fall out from a bad date when you read more.
- Try not to apply every terrible thing about your date to all men everywhere. After a few bad male encounters, it's easy to convince yourself that you'll never meet a guy that's right for you, but we all know that there are great men out there.
- Do not consider it as some failure on your part. Bad dates happen, even between two perfectly interesting people. You can't fake a spark, so if you couldn't create one, don't feel like it's your fault.
- Definitely talk it out with your friends. This one is obvious, but seriously, there's satisfaction in venting! I don't think anything makes the memories of a bad date fade faster than a few laughs with friends.
- Though I think it's OK to take some time before your next date, don't write off the dating world all together. Sure, you may end up on another bad date, but you could also end up on a great one. Plus, if the best memories aren't the ones from a bad night, I don't know what are!
One of the best parts about being single is all of the opportunity that awaits, so even if dating gets you down, keep your chin up!

Talk it out and get over it. Not all guys are like the one you went out with. There is someone worthy out there somewhere.
1Talking it out with your friends is the best thing to do. They'll help you find humor in the situation so that you're laughing at the wack-a-doo you just wasted an evening on, rather than wondering what's wrong with you!
2i used to be the QUEEN of first dates and it got to be really frustrating but the thing to consider is that if you didn't know what you wanted in a guy and a relationship before, you certainly have a better idea now. you know what you won't settle for and you learn the things to pick up on at the get go to know when you should just walk away and not think too hard about things.
3Good tips. I think you always learn something from every date. Every time you narrow down exactly what you want and don't want. And it's always fun to just meet new people. And I agree, the stories are the best, lol, good stories to share with friends. lol!
4Everything is a new learning experience.
5That's how I look at things that don't go right.
If I learned something then it wasn't a complete waste.
