dating around is actually so necessary. it’s healthy to go out with a bunch of people to figure out what you even really need emotionally, physically, etc. otherwise, how do you know what you even want that relationship to look like aside from on paper??
My mom told me I’m not “dating to marry” and that I should just go have fun and date whoever like um… not j wanna do this once and I wanna do it right??? I’m not going to be miserable for the rest of my life hello

when i was dating to marry i was actually so miserable. it made every relationship feel like a failure instead of something i could appreciate for what it was. and after 5 partners (+lots of situations), i had thought i knew what i needed, but was practically flashbanged by how wrong i was and by how much better my current partner is than anyone i’ve ever experienced. my previous rel didn’t even seem bad until i could compare it to something so much better in ways i wasn’t aware i needed.

I date to marry but that’s not the same as some formal courting thing, I just break it off the second the relationship doesn’t seem viable for a future marriage
