First thing I would say is be careful. Dating can be fun but in todays world its no joke. Everybody has their own morale and value system so I can just tell you what I am doing.
First thing first....take time to get to know yourself, your likes and dislikes, your needs your wants....etc.etc.etc. If you dont know you how can you expect someone else to get to know "the real" you. Love those things about yourself because the only one who can love you LIKE you IS YOU!!!
Second, I am prayerful about those things which I seek in a guy. I dont want to think Im getting one thing because of the way its packaged and then end up with something totally different. Know what you must have and what you can deal with. I personally can not date anyone who is not marriage potential...its a waste of time and energy.
Third, when you spend time being you. That is achieving your goals, being successful in your own life, working on things you can bring to the table then everything else will fall into place. My mama taught me never to go looking for a guy if he wants you then he will seek you ought. Some folk may disagree and call that old school but honey if you want me you gotta work for me.
Im not sure if that helped but when you are at your best others will start to take notice of you and then you go from there. Be mindful that if you are getting trash it make sure that is not what you are putting out there. Again be careful and have fun sister
