Dating a different race or religion is a great way to open your mind while opening your heart. Most people are open to interracial relationships in this day and age. By dating someone who a different culture you could learn a new language, travel the world, or even discover a religious calling.

Date the Dominant

It’s easy to keep falling for the same personality type, however, how can you confidently say you know exactly what you’re looking for if you never dated anyone else?
