4 Important Tips That Will Help You Slow Down as You Date
We live in a world that moves quite fast. We seek fast and immediate results. We multi-task and believe that there’s power of efficiency. Such a culture has an impact on how we date and how we pursue romantic partners. With a single swipe of a finger, you can eliminate a potential romantic partner or express interest in a potential partner.
This approach has been effective for some time, however, there are various aspects of this dating style that can be a disservice since there’s nothing intentional about this method of dating.
When you date hastily, you may not have meaningful conversations or make informed decisions about a partner. You may also not know if you are looking for a similar thing or if both of you share similar values. Here are a few tips that will help you date intentionally:

Create A Profile That Reflects Who You Are
Start by creating a profile that reflects who you are based on your interests, hobbies, personality and quirks. Do this by sharing photos in your bio. Be authentic and don’t try to be what you might think other people want.
You will not be in a position to sustain a relationship till long-term if you are pretending to be someone else. Remember that who you are is good enough.
Ask Questions
You have all the rights to be curious and ask questions that will help you decide if someone is worth the chase. Are they looking for a long-term relationship or a casual relationship or something non-committal? Do they want children or a family?
In as much as you have been socialized to play it cool, you know what you want out of a relationship and yu ought to be vocal about what’s important to you. Anyone who takes offence couldn’t be the right person for you.
Set Boundaries
If you aren’t comfortable meeting your potential partner and you prefer making a phone call, make this clear to them. If you are yet to be ready to have sex or become intimate with them, you need to let them know. The right partner for you will be okay moving at the speed that feels most comfortable to you.
Take The Time To Reflect
Take your time to reflect on the conversations you have with your potential partners. Do they have the qualities you require in your future partner? Can you pinpoint any red flags? Take all your time to reflect on the interactions yu have with potential partners. Do your partners reflect the qualities that you desire in a partner? Remember, we are intuitive creatures and it’s our role to take notice of what our gut is telling us.
