Looking for proof that you’re attractive vs. I divide these two opposite groups of people into those who like dating (the likers) and those who hate it (the haters). If it’s awful for you, it means that it’s high time for a mental shift. While it’s normal to have some minor insecurities and anxieties, dating shouldn’t be an awful experience. True, dating ushers in all sorts of unknowns: Will he be funny? Is she attractive in person? Will he be an awful jerk? Will she like my weird little quirks? But dating shouldn’t unleash rabid insecurities if it does, it’s a sign that you haven’t done your part in dealing with your issues so that you can put them to bed for good. The truth, however, is that disliking or even hating dating is a sign that you have some sort of mental block that is getting in the way of you having a good experience dating.
