Dating feels complicated but honestly, it is simple to understand once you take away the false beliefs we have been fed about what dating is, its purpose, and how it should be done. There is a misconception amongst the single community that unless you have everything perfectly aligned in your life, you should avoid dating at all costs. This idea although coming from a place of well-meaning has kept many singles from having wonderful experiences that ultimately contribute to the process of meeting the right person. Every single does not have the same dating goals. There are 3 main reasons why a single person dates:
- They want to receive love and companionship.
- They are looking for their forever love.
- They have personal needs they want to be filled.
Let’s define what dating is.
Dating: Two people meeting at a specified time on a particular day to enjoy an activity together.
When you explain dating in simple terms, anxiety starts to fade away and you can turn your attention to the more important pieces of the dating process.
Everyone will not have the same dating goals. Whatever reason you are choosing to date, there are 4 stages to dating for success.
