Dating Those with a Depressed Soul

By Jaime Charlies


Nothing can be more upsetting than getting turned down by someone of the opposite sex especially when you aredealing with depression suffering from depression. Rest assured this is not the end of the world. Since dating can be fun it can also help us out tremendously when we are feeling depressed. Having someone to talk to and be with will naturally lift your spirits up. But remember to keep cool and follow these general guidelines when dating while depressed.

ASKING SOMEONE OUT ON A DATE: Gathering the courage to ask someone out on a date is tough for anyone, especially if you are depressed. But stay positive - many people are flattered if you ask them out on a date in a polite, sweet way. Keep it complimentary to them and brief. Try to think of a creative date idea where you'll have an opportunity to talk, like roller-skating, a comedy club or something you know they like to do. If it's someone you've known for a long time, keep it positive and a no-pressure situation. You want to still be friends even if the date doesn't turn out like you hope. If it's someone you've just met, aim for a fun date where you can get to know them.

If you dwell on the possibility of rejection, you'll reject yourself before you even ask. Imagine asking one of your relatives to dinner - they would say yes because they love you unconditionally, right? Think about speaking to them when you ask the person out. Even if someone declines your invitation, just learn from that experience and move on to someone else. Feeling sorry or angry will only hold you back from dating someone who wants to date you. Everyone gets rejected now and then, but the persistent people are the ones who get dates.

Think about it this way, do you get fearful when you are calling up dear old gramma on the phone to check how she is doing? No! Probably because it is highly doubtful that she will reject you. When you are calling your potential date, imagine yourself speaking to your gramma. If your potential date, rejects you, well then you learn from that call and move on. But the most important part is to work up the courage to ask that person out on a date. Rehearse what you are going to say at first, and get it down so its flows out perfectly. That way if you do get rejected, you know that you tried your best. The best of us all get rejected at times.

If your potential date says yes that is great! Now onto the date. My first tip is to never, ever mention words about depression and feeling down on the first date. People have a tendency to be turned off by those that are always sad and depressed, or overwhelmed by them. Depression is a tough thing to handle, so do not expect someone you are just going out with to be able to handle it. Find an atmosphere where you and your date can go that will uplift your spirits. If you get to the point where you have been dating this person for a while and still are feeling symptoms of depression, then it may be a good time to share that you are depressed (assuming you trust the other person).

Hopefully this has started you on the path to happiness with dating. Remember to keep your chin up.
