Gary Chapman’s The 5 Love Languages
Gary Chapman's The Five Love Languages of Couples, despite their popularity, has a few flaws. It fails to recognize the extent of the harm these languages can cause.

It could be that they don't want to spend too much time with family and friends.
They could also have been on numerous dates, which suggests they may have been seeing other people.
This is a warning sign that they don't want to meet others and put their best foot forward in search of true love.
In dating, it is important to be sincere. Let them know how you feel and why they may be worth your while.
This will help you both understand each other and give you both an opportunity to see how things turn out.
What should you do when online dating?
The key to success on any social networking site is to have a strong profile, build an active network, and use these networks to access others who are also looking for love.
Your profile should be attractive and well-written. You want people to find you interesting enough to click on your profile link.
Also, you want them to know that you are open to building relationships. Don't show photos of yourself from years before.
Upload photos that show off your best features and highlight your interests.
You should ensure that your profile information is accurate and complete. If someone sees that you have glasses on, it could make them think you're older.
Tell potential partners if you have been divorcing. Don't lie if you're still married.
Not to sound needy or desperate. Keep your messages succinct.
Don't ask someone out before you know how they feel about you. Don't send money to anyone you don’t know.
What makes a good first date in online dating?
You should start by asking yourself what you want from this relationship. Are you looking for someone to have fun? Do you want to find true love? Is there something else you're looking for? Take a couple of dates and see if you find anything. If you feel nothing after two dates, you will know where you stand. If you feel you have a connection with someone, you may want them to come back. It's also important to remember that if you don't like someone immediately, they may not be interested either. Don't rush. Before you make any moves, be patient with one another and get to know each other well.
