How To Date Slowly And Intentionally
Dating today is fast paced, with swiping on dating apps and hookup culture taking the modern dating scene by storm.
With fast-paced dating seen as the norm, dreaming of slowing down the dating process might make you feel out of place or old-fashioned.
Slowing down the dating process is possible. When you take dating slowly, there’s less pressure on you and your date to reach the next level.
Instead, you take that time to get to know the other person at a level deeper than the attraction stage.
When you date slowly, it’s possible the connection between you and your date fizzles out. When that happens, you might feel like you wasted time because something didn’t work out.
But on the flip side, it’s a sign of paying attention to how compatible you are with someone — without the rush of endorphins from the attraction stage influencing your judgment.
Follow these tips to date slowly and intentionally:
1. Decide what your “dating goal” is. Are you just trying to meet people and learn what you like? Are you ready to settle down and find a lifelong partner? Do you just want to date slowly and see what happens? Decide on a dating goal beforehand to help you with any decision making!
