Reframe Dating As Connection
- Dating often fails because people treat each date as a make-or-break audition for "the one."
- Reframing dates as opportunities for human connection reduces pressure and expands possibilities.
Give Dates A Real Chance
- Give someone up to five dates if they are interesting, kind, and comfortable to be around before dismissing them for lack of immediate spark.
- Use varied activities and meet friends to see them relaxed and decide if connection grows beyond first-date nerves.

- Shift your evaluation from "Do they like me?" to "Do I actually like them?" before investing energy in winning their interest.
- Ask whether they add to your life and whether you feel more like yourself with them.
