Many women sabotage their own dating lives through bad habits without realizing it. This article covers:
- Canceling plans for last-minute dates
- Accepting insulting “jokes” from partners
- Changing personalities based on a date’s mood
These behaviors seem harmless but can seriously damage relationships. So, what habits should you avoid?
Habit 1: Ditching Friends for Dates
Don’t Cancel Plans for Last-Minute Dates
- It’s rude to ditch friends when your date makes last-minute plans
- This teaches your friends their plans don’t matter to you
- It also shows your date that he can disrespect your schedule
You wouldn’t want a date who is always blowing you off. Don’t do that to your friends either!
Habit 2: Accepting Insults as “Jokes”

Don’t Let Dates Insult You, Even As A “Joke”
- Some people excuse hurtful teasing by calling it “banter” or “flirting.”
- But insulting comments damage your self-esteem over time
- You deserve respect from partners – speak up if a “joke” insults you
Enforcing boundaries shows your partner how to treat you right. It may feel awkward at first, but it builds real intimacy.
Habit 3: Changing Your Personality
Be Yourself – Don’t Change to Match Your Date’s Mood
- You may hide your true personality if your date seems grumpy or unhappy
- But altering yourself for others erodes your self-worth
- A good partner will appreciate the real you, loud laughs and all!
Muting your big personality might work in the moment, but it slowly chips away at your happiness and identity over time.
