6 Habits That Make You Undateable

Do you ever wonder why you're having a hard time getting a date or finding someone who likes you? It may be a few of these undateable habits of yours!
Why doesn't anyone want to date me?
This is something a lot of men and women would ask themselves whenever they're single. The problem with this is that sometimes, we don't want to admit why we're being undateable.
Usually we're more than capable of fully justifying our behavior, but the problem with this is that our behavior may not be completely acceptable to those we want to date.
So what is it that you're doing wrong? Is there something you always do or say that deters potential partners? Is there something wrong with the way you interact with your date, with your friends, with other people?
# You don't like to go out
You love the comfort and privacy of your home so much that the idea of going out there for anything less than a fabulous time completely puts you off.
It's okay to be a homebody, that's your choice. But when you're all cooped up in your house, how can anyone even know that you're single and ready to mingle?
Going out doesn't need to feel like a chore. You always have a say in what you want to do when you're outside. If you're uncomfortable with the idea of going out alone, bring a friend and hang out in a quiet music cafe or in the corner coffee shop. You never know who might notice your presence and try to get to know you.
# You enjoy your time too much to share it with another person
Me-time is important, but it doesn't have to dominate your entire schedule. There will always be activities that you would rather do on your own. But for those activities that can be enhanced by the presence of another person, those can turn into future date ideas.
Keep in mind that by bringing another person into activities you enjoy, like walking your dog, relaxing at a music lounge or even shopping, you could potentially turn the experience into a more fulfilling and more enjoyable one.
# You're too busy to date
Now this is a problem for a lot of people who are juggling two jobs or have a lot of other responsibilities at home. However, dating doesn't have to take up too much of your time. What's an hour or two once a week that you can spend with someone you can really hit it off with?
Many people tend to glorify being busy as they believe this equates to being productive. But if you really look into your schedule, which of those activities are actually productive to you? If you can spot those that aren't really productive, then maybe you can reserve those hours for future dates.
# You don't like to get all dressed up
Tons of people think you have to get all dressed up just to get asked out on a date. This isn't true. However, you do have to pay attention to the way you present yourself.
No one wants to date someone who looks like she hasn't showered in a week. Likewise, you'd be hard-pressed to find someone willing to date a girl who looks like she spends half the day getting ready. Find the balance and present yourself in the way you want to be seen by potential dates.
# You have issues from previous relationships
Some issues take years and years to be resolved, and you shouldn't rush it for the sake of a date. But the thing is, you should also be willing to put in some effort to resolve these issues if you want to be dateable.
# You have crazy high standards
You know how some people say that you should date within your ìrating Like if you're a 7, you should only date those who are between 6 and 8. This may not always hold true for everyone, but one thing is for sure don't expect to date a person who's absolutely perfect if you don't do anything to attract people who are that type.
