Whether you swipe left or right, you're swiping, somehow, with the hopes of matching with the guy that caught your eye. Everyone has these pre-conceived ideas as to what dating is supposed to look and feel like.

The reality is there is no right or wrong way to date.

For me, I've chosen to multi-date and date often. Since doing this, I've learned many lessons.

When dating often you are opening yourself up to meeting many different kinds of people who have a variety of personalities. You may have previously only dated someone who was super serious all the time, but find that now you are attracted to someone who is more outgoing, social and a little humorous.

Dating often has taught me that there are going to be really good dates, and there are going to be really bad dates.

Either way, you are learning something from each date that you can apply to the next. It's all about experience and being open to trying new things, preferences included.

While looks are appealing, it's definitely more about the person's character. You can meet the sexiest person of your life, but if they have a dull personality or they're a complete jerk, all of a sudden those beautiful looks go out the window.

The important thing to remember is that the person you date doesn't have to be attractive to your friends, as long as you are attracted to them, that's all that matters.

Dating often doesn't mean you have to go on a date every night of the week, it just means going on dates as much as your schedule allows.

As we grow, so do our needs and desires. What we may have needed three or four years ago is not what we need today. Dating often allows you to figure this out, meet new people and have fun.
