Rules of Dating in Baltimore

If you are single in Baltimore and looking to meet a partner, consider these suggestions for successful dating.

  • Since Baltimore is often referred to as Smalltimore, refrain from asking friends about the your prospective date before you have met them first. Other people’s opinions may sabotage your ability to be objective about your date. If you receive negative feedback, most likely you will no longer be excited about meeting him/her as well as taking the risk of it getting back to them.

  • If you are serious about wanting a relationship, then be realistic about your expectations. Distinguish between what you need and what you want. If you are over 40 in Baltimore the number of singles diminishes immensely. Therefore, the possibility that a person is going to fulfill all your wants is unrealistic and keep in mind you may not be everything they are looking for either. Try to look at the whole person and ask yourself if they have qualities that will enhance your life instead of evaluating each personal attribute.

  • Realize that dating and finding a partner is a process. New people are always coming on the singles scene in Baltimore even though every one in Baltimore thinks they already know everyone.
    Also, consider meeting people outside the zip code where you were born and raised. You will increase your opportunities of meeting a potential partner when you widen your scope and open your mind.

  • Just because you knew someone 30 years ago in high school doesn’t mean they are necessarily the same person today. Remember we are always evolving and allow both of you the chance to get reacquainted. You may be pleasantly surprised on your date.

  • Please stop judging someone based on where they went to high school. If you eliminate a potential suitor for this reason, I strongly suggest you take the course Open Mindedness 101.

    Thanks for listening and I hope this advice helps as you navigate the dating world.

    Happy Dating,
