Dating Intentionally

Found a journal entry before I got into a relationship. Some good tips here (source).

Questions to Ask Yourself

1.     Is he consistent?

2.     Does he make me feel safe?

3.     What is his communication technique and does it match up to mine?

4.     What are his conflict resolution techniques?

5.     What role does he think I play in his life?

6.     How does he handle defeat, rejection, and disappointment?

7.     How curious of a human is he?

8.     Is he a confident man?

9.     Are his actions and words matching up?

10.  How do you feel about yourself when you’re with him?

How to Waste Less Time

·        I don’t want my life to be primarily dictated by my career.

·        I want a partner who invests in me in every way.

"Feminine Energy"

·        Make a comment out of curiosity that has nothing to do with him. It gets him to talk to you.

·        Don’t initiate texts/communication.

·        Be appreciative of their generosity.

·        Set boundaries for dates — tell them they cannot contact you for last-minute dates or plans. They need to tell you ahead of time. You are not an option.
