Navigating the dating world can be an exciting and sometimes challenging journey. One key aspect of finding a fulfilling and compatible relationship is knowing what you want. Your dates won’t necessarily know this and often they’re not good matches for the long term. Understanding your desires, values, and goals can guide you towards finding a partner who aligns with your vision for a fulfilling connection. In this blog, we will explore the importance of knowing what you want in dating and provide insights on how to gain clarity to enhance your dating experiences.
You should also find out what your date’s expectations and wants are.
Before you even enter the dating process make a list of the most important attributes your ideal partner should have and then prioritise them You’re never going to get an exact match- and you can’t always write down that missing feeling of attraction- but you should try to get close to this list.
Remember to be realistic though!
If after several dates you can’t find what you’re looking for you should make a new & more realistic list:
Start by engaging in self-reflection and identifying your core values. Consider what matters most to you in a relationship, such as honesty, respect, ambition, or shared interests. Understanding your values provides a solid foundation for determining the qualities and characteristics you seek in a partner.
Take the time to define your relationship goals and aspirations. Are you seeking a long-term commitment, casual dating, or companionship? Clarifying your relationship goals allows you to communicate your intentions effectively and seek partners who share similar objectives, increasing the likelihood of finding a compatible match.
Reflect on past dating experiences and relationships to gain valuable insights. Consider what worked well and what didn’t align with your desires and values. Identifying patterns and red flags can help you refine your preferences and avoid repeating the same mistakes in future connections.
