These retro dating habits (that are slowly becoming extinct) will prove why we all need to stop playing it cool and just be honest about how we feel. Besides, I’d take going steady over being “Facebook official” any day.

1. Pick up the Phone and Call

Emojis can only get you so far. But you can never fully decipher what a person means through text messages. Have an actual conversation and get to know each other.

2. Take it Slow

There’s a reason why the adage “slow and steady wins the race” is so popular. Instead of rushing into a relationship, give yourself time to fall in love naturally.

3. Be Honest

Instead of stalking him on Facebook, trying to decipher statuses, how about you simply ask him when you want to know something? If you’re not sure about something, the best way to find out is to go to the source.

4. Be On Time

There is nothing sexy about sitting at a table for one….that’s supposed to be for two. If you say you’re going to be somewhere at a certain time, be there!

5. Bring Chivalry Back to Life

Let’s face it: chivalry may not be dead, but it’s certainly dying. Small gestures like opening the door or pulling out a chair, can take you a long way in a relationship.
