Adrienne Bailon on her new film, dating and personal growth

RO #25

There are several theories on the correct approach to dating and relationships. While some believe that it’s important to have rules when it comes to dating, Bailon believes that it can ruin chemistry.


“I don’t think you should have a set rule,” she says. “I definitely don’t think you should follow a rule someone else created.  You can follow your own rules that you deem great for yourself whether it’s 15 days or 200 days. You decide what that is and what works for you. Take your time. I think to set rules and limitations often ruins things.”


Bailon is currently involved in a relationship, but she does have advice for men on how to make a great impression on a first date.

“The best thing a man can do on a first date is be a friend,” she suggests. “I think that’s the biggest mistake men make on the first date. Just get to know me. Be my friend. Just kick it with me as if I was hanging with a homeboy. It shouldn’t be this awkward situation. It should be that we’re there, having a great time. But the worst thing a man can do on a first date is act like he’s your boyfriend. I think attempting to hold hands is completely ridiculous. A lot of PDA, that’s awkward and uncomfortable.  I think be cool, be chill and you’ll be successful.”
