Hard Seltzers, frozés, and skimpy bikinis - in the past few years, summer has practically transformed into Homo Sapiens’ rutting season.

The ides of May are upon us, temperatures are on the rise, and City Boy and Feral Girl Summer are just around the corner in the northern hemisphere.

What does that mean for you?

If you play your cards right, you’ll have tons of dates lined up over the coming months, and all of those “at bats” will surely land you a few “home runs”.

Obviously, though, nobody ever bats 1000, so to get ahead of the summer rush, I figured it’s time we discuss some common dating mistakes people make as they navigate the dating market.

Avoiding common dating mistakes will keep you from wasting time/over investing in situations that seriously don’t align with you. In general, it can make the experience less daunting and increase your chances of finding a meaningful relationship.
