7 Deadly Sins of Dating

Yvonne Fulbright

In the dating world, especially college dating, there are certain things you just don't do. Okay, to be fair (ladies), we all do them- but we wish there had been someone there to tell us not to. After reading the book "Sex with your EX" by Yvonne Fulbright, I came across the 7 biggest dating sins for all the world to see and avoid.

The 7 deadly dating sins represent 7 mistakes that women commonly make when in the start of a new relationship. Some of the problems seem like bigger problems now than they may have been before. I believe that the act of courting and dating has not fully gone away- we've just lost in touch of what it is.

1. Getting intimate too soon. The act of dating and courting leads up to getting intimate and this is why I believe getting intimate too soon is much more of a problem now than before. The emotional aspect may have been there before, but it didn't include all of the emotions that come with having sex so early in dating. The act of dating has become more sexual than before, where before dating was about finding a soul mate.

2. Letting people in too fast. Don't rush into telling someone how you feel, it may end up kicking you in the butt.

3. Information overload. This is the hardest issue most women face. Don't constantly bother the guy you're interested in. This is going to make them run for the hills. Be subtle.

4. Spying. Trust someone until they give you a reason not to. Don't go through their e-mails, cell phone, text messages, etc. You'll lose them before you have them.

5. Faking interest or passion. Be real, be yourself.

6. Expecting them to be who you want them to be. You need to learn to accept people for who they are, love them for who they are. If you want them to change for YOU, you don't really want to be with them (and they won't want to be with you, either!)

7. Forgetting who you are. Don't ever strain away from your individuality. Stay true to yourself and your own personal needs. If you forget this important quality, the relationship will never work in the long-run.
