Well, Reddit totally dropped some real truths about dating, being alone, and coupledom. We're got the cutest bits that'll give you the warm fuzzies, make you chuckle, and maybe renew your hope in the dating game.
Mixed signals are a myth
Most of the time "mixed signals" means "no." Or, I don't know what I want and I am a mixed up person, in a mixed up part of my life, or a flake. All of the above indicate that it's often best to move on.
First date are rough
You're both going to be nervous and you're both going to say stupid things on the first date.
Humor those things and don't let them control the date.

Be alone until it's right
Don't worry about dating until you're content alone. If you're looking to date just to be with someone, you probably shouldn't be looking to date. You should want to be with that person, not just be with a person. Goes doubly if you're recently out of a relationship.
Don't ride or die by type
Have a type but use it as guideline and not a rule.
Baseball anaolgy on point
Don't be discouraged if you strike out over and over because you only need to hit a home run once.
Can't get any more single
You're already not with them. How much more not with them are you going to get?
Don't force it
You don't have to like anyone just because they're going on a date with you.

Know your limits
You can't control your partner.
Your partner will do things you don't want them to, you just have to decide what's a deal breaker.
Don't look up
If you put someone on a pedestal, you force them to look down on you.
First date jitters
For all that you're nervous and panicking and wanting your hair just right, know that she probably is too. Enjoy sharing the feeling together, but don't let it stop you from having a good time.
