How to approach dating at 17?
Heads up: No, I dont respond to dms. No, I dont want to be told "youre too young to date, go back to math class!"
Please only give detailed and thoughtful answers.
I am 17, female. I think its time for me to start dating seriously. What are some things you'd recommend, do's and don't If you will, to dating? When looking for a serious relationship, what are some things that need to be said up front? What are some red flags that you should always pay attention to? How can you tell when someone is about to waste your time? How to approach meeting people? I'm personally the type that prefers to stay at home (introverted) so how do I approach the possibility of having to talk to multiple people at once, though id prefer to not talk to anyone at all?
Question to the married: Where did you meet your partner? What was some of your deal breakers? How did you refine your standards?
Suggestions are accepted. Please be thoughtful and kind in your responses.
tldr: what are dos and donts of finding a good relationship that one must always follow?
