“It’s Complicated” and other things to stop saying if you want to date better

Dating’s never been easy, but the influx of new lingo’s made it all the more complicated. Imagine explaining catfishing to your nan? Or lovebombing? No. Don’t. This will only end badly. Promise. 

In this new wired world, you could theoretically get a date quicker than ordering a takeout. That’s weird. Because navigating the world of dating’s so damn tricky, dating app Inner Circle is here to champion all things honest and vulnerable. 

Cheers to open dating. 

Let’s make a pact. They want us all to agree to stop saying say stuff like:

“It’s complicated.”

It’s easy to feel like you’re the only one in an endlessly tricky situation. To avoid this, it’s best to think about what you want out of a new relationship at the start. But, but, but you must also consider what you’re willing to bring to it. Then convince yourself to be very brave. Maybe even find a non-weird way to communicate this to potential dates when you first meet. 

“We need to talk…”

We’re all adults here. It’s time to just spill the beans and say it like it is. In the spirit of open relationships, this is mission critical. If you are going to date better, you need to be honest with yourself and with each other. What helps this is having a ton of like-minded, career-driven members to choose from in Inner Circle’s highly curated community.

“You look different to your profile picture”

Ask yourself if you’d be friends with this person if you weren’t physically attracted to them. It’s the age-old saying that the best kind of relationships are friendships. This is central to the ethos of dating better, and is reflected in Inner Circle’s requirement that all members have full profiles. Of course photos are important, but so are all the other parts which really show your personality.

“I’m not good enough”

Confidence is key. It’s also rather sexy. The reason you’ve got a match is because someone liked the look of your profile. It’s time for you to believe that or just fake it til you make it real at one of Inner Circle’s real-life events. These happen regularly in the coolest places in London and their members rave about them. Seriously.
