Sometimes a small change is all you need!

How Should You Improve Your Love Life?

You are a great person, but tend to be a bit shy. At parties and social events, you tend to only stand by your friends, even though you wouldn't mind talking to someone new. Set a goal for yourself that the next time you're out and see someone cute, you'll come up to them and just say hi. What's the worst that could happen?

Talk to one new person

Yes, dating apps can have a negative reputation, but if you never really tried one, how can you judge? Download Tinder or OkCupid or any of the apps out there and try to talk to at least one new person. There's nothing to lose.

Finally try a dating app

You can be hard on yourself, especially for being single, and you really shouldn't be. The right people will be attracted to you when you're feeling your very best, and what better way to get that glow in yourself than just cutting yourself some slack and doing things that you like and that make you happy?

Practice some self-love

You have no problem meeting new people, but keeping up long conversations and texting on time is a known problem for you because you forget to or can be pretty inconsistent. If you like someone (even just a good friend), consider practicing keeping up a conversation for longer than usual and see what happens!

Keep up a conversation with someone new

Important note: this isn't about pleasing anyone but yourself or changing your look to fit an ideal. But everyone goes through periods where they want a change, and sometimes that change can be as simple as getting a new tattoo or haircut or pair of shoes you've always wanted. It's whatever makes YOU feel amazing that will draw others to you.

Buy new clothes that make you feel great

You've perhaps been single for some time and feel an immense pressure to partner up but you know what? If it's not happening, it just isn't, and you should never force anything. If you feel an emptiness, try to find a non-dating related goal and just stick to it for a while. Learn a new instrument, take a trip you've always wanted to take, finish a discarded essay -- all will absolutely make you happy.

Take a real break and focus on you

Your own love life may have taken some kicks to the groin, and it's easy to get cynical. You know what's a surefire way to believe in love again? A fantastically-written book on the subject. Something like "Love in the Time of Cholera" or "Anna Karenina" or "Jane Eyre". Even if they have sad endings, the beauty of the language will 100% revive you.

Read a romantic book

You know who I'm talking about. Unless they have a significant other or some other big reason you can't ask them out, you need to do this. If they're the person you think they are, even if they say no, they will be kind and still respect you and want to be your friend. You can't live your life in fear!

Finally ask out your crush
