Successful people set targets and goals for themselves in many areas of their lives.
Why not do this for dating?
If, for example, you set a target of 20 dates to get one that suits, wouldn’t that be better than just ploughing on with no real intention or thoughts?
You could make that 10 dates. It’s up to you.
Setting a goal for yourself in dating is a great way to approach relationships intentionally and thoughtfully.
Here’s how to go about it:
Identify Qualities and Values
- Think about qualities you’d like in a partner and which values are most important to you (e.g., honesty, kindness, ambition). This will help guide your choices and help you stay focused on people who align with these values.
Set Personal Growth Goals
- Consider goals that focus on self-improvement, like building confidence, learning to communicate better, or staying open-minded. For example, if you’re shy, your goal could be to practice initiating conversation on dates.
Create Actionable Steps
- Break your dating goal into smaller, manageable steps. For example:
- Try to go on one date a month.
- Initiate more conversations in social settings.
- Reflect after each date on what you liked or learned.
Set Boundaries and Standards
- Decide what you’re willing to tolerate and what your boundaries are, so you can stay true to yourself while dating. Goals can include sticking to these standards and avoiding situations that don’t align with them.
Track Progress
- Reflect regularly on your dating experiences. Write down how each date or interaction made you feel, what you learned, and what you’d like to improve. Tracking helps you see how you’re growing and what you might want to adjust.
Stay Flexible and Open to Change
- Dating goals are a guide, not a rigid plan. Be open to adjusting as you learn more about yourself and what works for you.
You can adjust your approach to your dates as needed.
There is no one rule fits all.
Intelligent people adapt themselves. They learn as they go through life.
You can do this too.
