The Dating Checklist

Dating, am I right. Like many other millennials aimlessly searching for a companion, I’m in the dating pool that seems endless. Let’s be honest, all of it can seem very daunting. With the million dating apps that you swipe left or right for potential matches, it can get a bit crazy, and you can lose focus on the overall purpose. That purpose is to find a partner that adds value to your world and can grow together. Yes, sometimes you have to kiss a few frogs to find your prince, but have you stepped back and thought about what it is that you require from a partner. Also, are you able to provide those same requirements or similar to your potential mate?

THE CHECKLIST

So, my friends, I challenge you to make two lists. If you’re like me, you probably have a list of everything you want Mr. Perfect to be, but these lists will be a bit different. First, develop a list of the 10 qualities that describe you best. Make sure to include a few negative traits among the positives to ensure accuracy. Be honest with yourself while making this list. Next, create a list of the qualities you want in a partner based on the qualities you possess. This should be a list of qualities that fit you in a partner. Try to limit your list to 10 qualities. Then separate the list into three parts: must-haves, strong preferences, and negotiable.  

Now, this is the true list you should keep in mind when searching for your future partner. May you find them sooner rather than later. xoxo
