Dating can be very confusing. But understanding why you’re dating and what you want in a partner can prove even more difficult. Finding someone that meets your values, you find interesting, and that you care about with similar feelings about you can seem rare or even like a fairy tale. However, consciously dating is rewarding when things shake out with someone, feeling truly connected to someone and not just landing in a relationship. It takes hard work, internally and interpersonally, but you will find a dynamic that feels like no other.
