Some of our routines work so well for us that we never even think of changing them. Our morning shower and shave, the route we take to work and the way we prepare our famous barbeque sauce and slow cook a pork shoulder just can’t be improved.
But other routines can grow stale and get us stuck in a thankless and ineffectual rut. Our dating habits are one of those things that need constant updating.
Not only do...

They are unspoken dating rules: Display only the most attractive parts of yourself on dates. Disclose only private feelings that are socially safe, taking care not to appear damaged and too forthright.

Lauren is just about 24 now and thinks that age has brought a little clarity. She is in the dating scene but not to the point where sometimes she knows better. It's an interesting phase. Of her three best friends: one is married, one in a relationship and one is trolloping around Europe. That all seems normal to Lauren, who said she is less judgmental than she used to be. At a certain point, you realize most people are just on different paths to the same end.
