Here’s some advice about love and dating, straight from Zendaya!
Now that Zendaya has settled into a serious relationship with Tom Holland, fans are excited to see what’s next for the young power couple.
Zendaya knows a thing or two about making it in Hollywood as a successful actress. Let’s see if she knows a thing or two about relationship advice.
Here’s a roundup of her best gems.
First, keep your love story private.
According to Elle, Zendaya said, “Parts of my life, I accept, are going to be public. I can’t not be a person and live my life and love the person I love. But also, I do have control over what I choose to share. It’s about protecting the peace and letting things be your own but also not being afraid to exist. You can’t hide. That’s not fun, either. I am navigating it more than ever now.”
From her perspective, it’s best to keep the details of your relationship as low-key as possible to respect and preserve your love story.
Second, wait until you’re mature to start dating.
According to Yahoo News, Zendaya said, “I’m so anti being in a committed relationship when you’re young and people are learning and growing, because when people are young they make bad decisions sometimes because they don’t know any better.”
This advice isn’t about waiting until a set age to start dating. She didn’t say you have to be 16 or 18 or 21 or 25 to start dating someone.
She simply advises waiting until you feel mature enough to handle something so serious.
Third, relationships should start as friendships.
According to Teen Vogue, Zendaya said, “I think that the number one thing in any relationship is a friendship and building trust with that person so I always suggest that people be friends with someone before they get into a relationship with them but I wouldn’t suggest it being like your super best friend.”
Her advice is solid because tons of relationships that start out as friendships have a great shot at success.
Fourth, realize you can never force the person you’re dating to change.
According to People, Zendaya said, “Something I learned is it’s very hard to be in a relationship when the both of you are still figuring out life. You cannot change anybody. You cannot make someone grow up faster than they’re supposed to.”
No matter how much you wish your relationship would work out, you can’t force your partner to change for the better.
You can’t force them to treat you the way you deserve to be treated. The only thing you can control is YOU.
So, if you aren’t being treated properly, you’re better off cutting your losses than sticking around trying to convince your partner to magically start improving.
Fifth and finally, trust your instincts when it comes to infidelity and betrayal.
On the subject of cheating in a relationship, Zendaya spoke out according to Hello Giggles stating “I would say, follow your gut. If you feel it, it’s probably happening. If you feel like you can’t trust somebody, or you feel whatever, then you shouldn’t be in a relationship with them.”
Usually, our gut instincts are never wrong. If you feel like your partner is doing something shady, there’s a chance you’re 100% correct.
