Singles in America are becoming a growing majority. In recent years, over half of adults between the ages of 18 and 34 reported not being in a steady relationship.
If you can relate, you’re not alone in feeling alone.
Even with so many available singles, dating can be a challenge, especially when trying to learn how to navigate dating apps and hookup culture.
However, it isn’t hopeless. You can find love and transform your love life with these words of advice.
Improving Your Love Life Starts With You
If you feel unsatisfied in your love life, you may find yourself hyper-focused on it. But the secret to finding love is to focus on other areas of your life too.
Before anyone else can date you, you have to date yourself. Working on yourself first helps you to radiate energy and happiness that will be irresistible to dating partners.
Spend time letting loose with friends. Try exciting activities or challenging hobbies. Start investing in yourself, and you’ll likely find someone who will want to invest in you too.
Put Yourself Out There
This sounds simple, but it’s often forgotten: to find the love of your life, you have to make yourself available.
Your future partner is trying to find you too. Put yourself out there and make yourself easy to find.
Try dating apps, join meet-up groups, and be social. Don’t be afraid to put yourself out there, and be ready to chat up a variety of potential partners.
And when you find someone you like, make the first move. Finding love requires a bit of assertiveness and boldness. By putting yourself out there, even when it feels vulnerable at times, you’re more likely to attract a good match.
Learn Your Blindspots
Almost everyone has some dating blindspots. These blindspots are bad habits and areas that need improvement, and they’re often the reason why you might continue to have bad luck in your love life.

Watch for Red Flags
Red flags are warning signs that someone is likely not worth dating. But these red flags can be easy to miss when you’re desperate to find love.
Some common red flags include:
- Always being busy
- Rudeness, such as to waiting staff at a restaurant
- Rushing or pressuring you in any way
- Talking badly about exes
- Lies or inconsistencies in their stories
Watch out for red flags, and follow your gut if someone makes you feel uncomfortable. Even if you’re excited to try to make it work with someone new, don’t waste time on toxic dating matches hoping things will improve over time. They’re only keeping you from finding the love you want.
