The problem with the spark

The spark is the instant chemistry and connection felt with someone, which many people overly optimize for in modern dating. This reliance on the spark leads to high expectations and quick dismissals of potential partners if the spark is not felt.

Therefore, emphasizing the spark can result in missed opportunities for developing genuine connections through deeper interactions and shared experiences.
