Don’t skip ‘dating’ on the way to a relationship

Ladies… listen up!

Here is one of the biggest mistakes I see women making when dating: 

You're trying to skip the dating part and go right to a relationship. 

If you are dating to find a relationship (not just casually dating), you need to remember you still need to… date.

  • Webster's says dating is to: “Go out with (someone in whom one is romantically or sexually interested).”

  • Wikipedia says: “Dating is a stage of romantic relationships in which two individuals engage in an activity together, most often with the intention of evaluating each other's suitability as a partner in a future intimate relationship. It falls into the category of courtship, consisting of social events carried out by the couple either alone or with others.”

Neither one of these says that dating is having someone with whom you are immediately IN a relationship with! 👀

If you find yourself feeling like you are in a relationship with someone you just met in the past few weeks (or, arguably, just a couple of months), you need to slow down and remember that the point of dating is to learn more about a person to see if you want to be in a relationship with them. 

🛑 You can't skip the dating process! All of your dating experiences are not meant to become relationships! 💔 

Ladies, slow down and savor the journey of dating. 

Remember, it's not about rushing into a relationship; it's about taking the time to truly get to know someone and evaluate if they're the right fit for you. 💖🔍
