Recently Reddit useru/NicMakVelliasked the community: “Whatdating mythsneed to vanish and die?”
“That you shouldnt talk about wanting/not wanting kids or general life and relationship goals on the first date.

The ‘three-month rule’ is when you lose feelings after three months, which is BS.

Say you love your partner as early as you want.”

It’s what happens most of the time when you ask people out instead of being asked.”
