It’s time we kept technology aside and adopted the old and simple technique called ‘face to face conversation’ already! Also, you can never judge the other person’s tone over text messages which might lead to major misunderstandings.

You only seem to be a wannabe to others by doing so. Frankly, no one else is really interested in knowing who you hooked up with.
Putting up status updates like, 'just broke up' or 'is now single' is nothing but attracting the wrong attention. Also, some people get a sadistic pleasure by seeing you in pain while others don’t really care whom you broke up with or why.

Don’t we always talk of men and women being equal in all spheres of life? Then why expect the guy to pay always? Dutching is the right way.

Just being your actual self will make you meet the right person; someone who likes the real you, not the decked up first date version of you. Using your money in more constructive things is far better than splurging it on shopping.

It is nice to upload your pictures on social networking sites as long as they are few in number. Posting a 100 pictures together every other day will not only make people delete you from their friend list, but will also leave you without any backup if that site ever shuts down for good. So always have hard copies too.
Your date is not a mind reader. If you feel something or want something, just say it out loud there and then and that’s about it. Keeping unreal expectations will only make you disappointed.

We know you are dating someone and that’s enough information. Making combined Facebook or Twitter accounts and posting details of your love life on it is something only you feel is cool or romantic, not the others. So spare them the torture and keep your love life to yourself.
If things didn’t work out between you and your date, just consider it a bad experience and move on. Having open war games on social media will only go on to show a sense of immaturity and also the effect this episode is having on you. Why give something that didn’t work out that much importance?
So, we hope these points gave you a rundown of things you will (and should) never do when you are dating. Here's to letting go of these fatal dating trends and making way for fresher and newer ones.
