While you may think they’re perfect for you, they in-turn might...

Yay...the description of the single looking to date with intent seems like everything you’ve been searching for.

Excitedly, you request an introduction. Your first interaction is full of enthusiasm—you’re convinced they’re “the one.”

You share long, detailed texts, diving into your past, present, and dreams for the future.

The conversations go well, and you decide to meet. By now, you’re even more certain they’re the one for you.

However after a couple of in-person meetings, however, things don’t progress. You feel disappointed, upset, and emotionally drained.

☑️ So, what might have gone wrong when you were so sure? 2 things could have happened:
🌻 While this person checked all your boxes, you might not have fit their must-haves.
🌻 Everything seemed great on calls and texts, but in reality, they didn’t fit your must-haves.

☑️ What’s the takeaway here, especially for singles aged 28 and beyond?

Excitement in finding your person is natural and essential, but it’s equally important to stay practical. Avoid over-investing your emotions and time until you’ve had at least 5–7 in-person interactions to gauge compatibility realistically.

It is ok to take your time—love isn’t a sprint
