There was a great article archived over at Online Dating Magazine which gives you the ABC's of dating. The premise of the article is that dating really is something that you have to learn if you're going to do it right. It gives you three simple starting steps for learning, steps which all begin with yourself and your attitude.

First, the author suggests that you "accentuate" what is right with you instead of worrying about your flaws. It's a good point. We all have things we like and things we don't about ourselves. Accentuating those things we like makes us much more attractive to others (and generally just happier people). The next step is to "believe". Instead of wondering if you're going to find a partner, just believe that you are. Then you can stop worrying about it and start finding it. And finally, you need to communicate. Sounds obvious enough but it's such an important part of the dating foundation that it deserves your attention.

There are many different things to be learned about dating. Some of those things will be learned in hard lessons all throughout life. Others can be picked up by following the SAGE advice of someone who has been there before you. Take these tidbits and add them to your arsenal of online dating lessons in order to maximize your chances of dating successfully.
