4. The Depressed
The depressed dater shouldn’t be dating at all. They are sad because they have yet to heal from a previous break-up, they are generally depressed or they are tainted by the dating process.They will come across gloomy and talk about the world with a more negative connotation. They usually talk about past people they have met highlighting their faults rather than being positive and simply saying “they were nice but I just didn’t want to take things further”.  

These people blame others for them still being single and they cannot reflect on their own presentation. They rarely question how they might be coming across to others and could benefit from the dating tip of seeking professional intervention for their psychological and emotional states.

5. The Less-than-truthful Dater
Research indicates that many people online lie about information listed on their profile. In one survey, 54% of participants reported having met someone who had “seriously misrepresented themselves” online. People lie about all sorts of things, age being the most common followed by other facts such as height, drinking and smoking habits. Dating tip: using old photos is also a form of misrepresentation.

There are two types of the less-than-truthful dater. One is aware that they are lying but opt to do it anyway. They would rather face the lie when uncovered and they usually have several finely crafted excuses. The second, is unaware of who they really are and they are largely oblivious that they have misrepresented themselves.

These people put on their profile they are thin when they are not or describe their personality inaccurately. In many cases they legitimately do not see the anomaly. Aware or not, it is a source of frustration for the one who feels like they have wasted their time because of the misrepresentation.
 

6. The Picky Dater
According to Women’s Health Magazine many of us go into the dating arena armed with a checklist of traits we want our perfect partner to have. It can be unrealistic to expect any one person to possess all of the traits on our list – no human being can. We cannot expect another person to be the best lover, our best friend, and to be able to provide us with all of our emotional, psychological and physical needs.

If we’re the type of person that insists on sticking to the checklist, we will inevitably view others with a narrow vision and criticism. We can therefore overlook other positive traits and endearing qualities because we are focused specifically on the items on the list.

The dating tip is to try and approach the process with an open mind and heart and endeavour to see the potential in others. Sometimes precious things come in the most unsuspecting packages. 
 

7. The Intense Dater
Psychotherapist, Matt Lundquist, cautions that getting too serious too soon can result in dating disaster. Most people who are secure in themselves find someone who are too intense off-putting. When we encounter this type of intensity in the early stages we can often fear how intense the other will become in the future.
 

8. The Uncommitted
The uncommitted dater wants to see a range of people at the same time or will string people along only to finish it and start with a new person. They have no intention of entering into a serious relationship and they may be aware or oblivious to how their behaviour is impacting on others.

These people have attachment issues in other parts of their lives and are unlikely to change without therapeutic intervention. The important dating tip here is that you are unlikely to change the uncommitted dater - trying is expected to only waste your time.
