The Downsides of Situationships

I think what I find a lot in my current modern day dating when I work on it in therapy with people is that there's so much online chatting going on before you even meet with somebody. People get hooked more into the idea of somebody and the potential of them, the natural person in front of them which does multiples of things. And therefore, if it doesn't work out, you're upset about a lot of abstract ideas as much as you are upset about the literal thing. You have to be hopefully grounded when you get into dating, but not everybody is. Most people probably aren't. And you have to have more eyes open and be mindful of your vulnerabilities.
