Top 3 Dating Tips for Women

Last time, we discussed our top three dating tips for men. Now, it’s time for the ladies. And please note, we recognize that dating in the year 2026 can be really challenging, especially with the gamification of online dating. With that in mind, we created these recommendations based on both the hardships, as well as the incredible successes of our female clients navigating the dating world.

1) Do not reward behaviour that contradicts your standards.  If you want to be taken on a date, we would strongly encourage that you not hook up with the guy who won’t even plan one. Be honest about what you’re looking for and unapologetic for walking away from that which doesn’t align with you.

2) Learn what healthy love looks like. For instance, you should know how he feels about you. Not in a constant state of worry of whether he will respond, is he dating other people, is he going to ghost you? That’s not it. After a couple of dates of getting to know each other, you want to have some sense of the intention behind the relationship. Moreover, you want to feel safe, steady, and secure. One quick other note - healthy love looks like pursuing a man with a solid character. Chemistry is cute, but it doesn’t sustain a relationship, especially during hardship. Pursue men with good characters.

3) Stay rooted in joy and purpose outside of dating. Make sure you’re spending time doing the things with the people that make you feel full. Because when your life is rooted in health and goodness, it’s harder to be deceived and mislead. Moreover, it is way easier to walk away from the guy who is feeding you scraps.

And lastly, especially given all we’ve explored when it comes to the ‘lost boys era’, give guys grace.  Not by lowering your standards, but by recognizing that everyone’s trying to navigate a really messy dating culture. Stay firm in what you want — but soft in how you see others.
