I think that dating, specifically for a lot of people, is difficult because they've developed a structure around a lot of other aspects of their life, like their work and their school and their gym routines. There's a lot of structure associated with it. You do X, you get Y. And I think that with dating, there's not a lot of structure. A lot of people have this really unique Disney...
fairy tale attached to how it should happen. And not a lot of people actually like to think about dating so strategically. And I get, I get why it's not an attractive thing to be like, Oh, what do you mean? I got to do this, this, and this. I'm like, well, you don't have, no, you don't have to do anything.
But if you think about it a little bit more strategically without focusing on the hard truths of the details, just strategically framework. And then like, think about how to progress that aspect of your life. Like, you know, if you don't think about dating or dating fundamentally with more purpose or more intention, then I don't, I don't see how you just expect things to happen.
Come on this journey with me.
