Date like a rabbit and don't you waste any of your young precious years. Close your rational mind and just follow ypur heart and live life like you should...
You are more beautiful than you will ever believe, you are more powerful than you know, you are kind, loving and you deserve all the happiness in the world. you are not responsible for anyone elses choices, but you are for yours, so choose kind and don't settle
@kitty54 this is really true!
I'd tell myself that asking genuine questions does not make you mental. I'd tell myself to trust gut instinct. I'd tell myself not to settle for less than you deserve.
@UniSarah85 that's true, it's important to be aware of what we deserve!
@AveryLove I would tell myself to chill out! I was so anxious and stressed when I went on a date that I never really got to enjoy the date or the guy! I just worried about messing up constantly or getting food stuck in my teeth or tripping over something! I just needed to relax a little bit!
@baylinAnderson123 that's right! to be our true self. 
that the one would eventually come by and to stop searching so hard! met a lot of people and got my heart broken many times, but the right one will come by with time. 
Id tell myself as an advice
take all the risks
@greatfulTruth90 that's true, sometimes we let our fear stop us from loving.
Don't care about what other people will think
Take it easy with dating. You are learning what you like in a person and what you do not like.
If you see someone cute, try asking to hang out or grab food later. Even if it does not happen romantically at least you did something out of your comfort zone instead of looking from afar and idealizing this person. Go for it!!
And heartbreaks suck!! And it is okay.
Try not to overthink things.
Don't overthink, don't worry about the future, go for it and enjoy love as young people do...live and experience and feel love...do not shy away from it...
