Are your dating standards helping you find love… or keeping you single? 🤔
If you’re ruling someone out after one date because they didn’t check every box, you may be deciding too soon.
Relationship expert Silvy Khoucasian reminds us that one date may not reveal everything about someone. People can be nervous, guarded, or simply need more time to open up.
Someone asked:
“What are some signs that you should go on a second date with someone?”
Here’s what Rodney & Silvy want you to consider:
1️⃣ Shared values
Are your core values and relationship goals reasonably aligned?
2️⃣ Physical attraction
Is there enough attraction and curiosity to want to see them again?
3️⃣ Personality
Did you enjoy spending time together?
4️⃣ Emotional availability
Can they communicate, connect, and show up emotionally?
5️⃣ Give it another date
If you see some of these qualities but aren’t sure yet, you don’t have to decide after one date.
The goal isn’t to lower your standards.
It’s to stop confusing “I don’t know yet” with “this person isn’t right for me.”
Sometimes you need one more date to find out.
