It's no lie that dating in today's society is rough. From ghosting to fear of commitment, you're never 100% sure what's going on and when. So here is a list compiled by my friends and I of dating habits that need to make a comeback ASAP.

1. Ask to go on a date, don't just ask to "hang out".

I'm so sick of this "hanging out" and "just talking". I'm sick of having "things" with people. Be straight up and if it's a date, say it's a date.

2. Cliché is okay.

Don't be afraid to try the clichés on dates. They're clear indicators that you're interested.

3. Skip the "Netflix and chill" and go on an actual date.

When is the last time your first date was actually going out somewhere? Having someone come over to watch movies is not a date.

4. Be spontaneous.

Be adventurous. Try new things. Don't be afraid to make a fool of yourself.

5. Picking them up at the door/walking them to the door after the date.

Skip the "I'm outside" text. Just knock on the door. Also, walk your date to the door after the date – PERFECT MOMENT TO GO IN FOR A GOODNIGHT KISS.

6. Dress up for a date.

Okay, you don't need to wear a ballgown but dress it up a little. Wear a dress, skirt, or any sort of attire that makes it look like you tried to look nice. Guys – wear a nice shirt and jeans/khakis. This small effort goes a long way.

7. Skip the text and call.

Call when you get home after the date – talk for hours. It's much more romantic than a text.

8. Be on time.

Being late is not attractive. End of story.

9. If it's cold out, offer your jacket.

Even if she declines, just do it. Plus, if she "forgets" to give it back, you now have an excuse to see her again.

10. Being clear on your intentions. No more of this ghosting BS.

This is the biggest issue of today's dating. Nobody is honest about how they feel and where they want things to go. If you're not feeling it anymore, let the person know. Don't just suddenly stop communicating.
