You have to be intentional. You wouldn't go to a job interview and say I don't really want the job but I'm open to it.

I think this is the most normal thought process. I think that’s how a real organic connection is built. You’re not trippin

“My priority is me but if the right connection comes along I’d be interested” that’s my go to - I agree with you

No it’s not weird people are desperate for a relationship & end up settling with the first person things go well with whereas this mindset is putting the actual connection first to know how to proceed

I think what she’s saying is she’s not going into dates w the thought in the back of her mind “this guy could be the one”. She’s there to see if she like him & if things progress so be it 1/2

No this is a perfectly reasonable answer

I feel like only the “date to marry” people who rush into things are acting like this is crazy lol

changes the vibe. I'm all for dating around but I date with the intention of that relationship and I wouldn't really wanna date someone knowing they're probably taking other girls out right after me😅

But aren’t you still looking for a relationship? Like you’re getting to know someone to see if they are right for you isn’t that looking for one?

I wish this was more common, people should date to enjoy the person not to fill some superficial gap in their life like a “life partner”. especially early on, that can unnecessarily complicate things.

It IS intentional to focus on discovering what you like/who you are first. and that self discovery can take years, most people don’t even want to unpack their anxious need for any attachment 🤝

i’ve found that people are still open to seeing you even if you state this! those who will understand your intentions will stick around! it’s not for everybody but that’s why it’s important to be clr

Like can dating just be dating? What’s with the pressure to commit to anything right away…

i normally say that im dating and open to the possibility of a relationship with a person i feel a connection with and am looking to date people who are in the same boat

hmm I'm very curious about this because I have the same outlook/approach and their vibe definitely changes! But I tried "intentional" dating and they'd move too fast then drop me if I didnt too :l

I get what you mean tho. If I meet someone worth pursuing a relationship with I go for it

Nia Bean🥳 :
That’s my answer too tbh I think it’s just honest. I’m not actively craving a relationship but wouldn’t deny one if it came to me

Jorge Lara-Maldonado :
if I'm spending time, energy, gas, money and thought into a date then it should mean something for both myself and the person I'm seeing. all that could be spent of someone who wants it. it's wasteful

I say “I like things to happen naturally”. Cause I do. It’s a slow burn thing for me. Not because idk what I want. Opposite actually. Intentional is good but feels insincere. 🤷♀️

having a neutral attitude like that is the best way to avoid trying too hard to make something work that in reality you know won't work out like that in the end anyway.
