Okay, so, “priority dating” – sounds fancy, right? I stumbled upon this concept and thought, “Why not give it a shot?” It’s all about being upfront with what you want and not wasting time, I was tired of endless swiping and dead-end * I decided to get serious about finding someone who was on the same page as me.
My Experiment Begins
First, I revamped my dating profiles. No more vague, wishy-washy stuff. I stated clearly what I was looking for – a long-term, committed relationship. I even added a line about “priority dating,” explaining that I was looking for someone who was equally serious. It felt a bit bold, but hey, that’s the point, right?
Next, I started being more proactive. Instead of just waiting for matches, I actively searched for profiles that mentioned similar goals. Keywords like “serious relationship,” “long-term,” and “commitment” became my best friends. When I found someone interesting, I skipped the usual small talk.
- My opening lines went something like, “Hey! I noticed you mentioned wanting a serious relationship. That’s what I’m looking for too. What are your thoughts on [insert a relevant question about their relationship goals]?”
- I’d ask direct * more “What do you do for fun?” and instead, “Are you looking to settle down eventually?”
The Good, the Bad, and the “Nope”
Honestly? It was a mixed bag. I got some pretty blunt “no”s. Some guys were clearly intimidated, Some were just looking for hookups. But I just moved on.
But then, there were the “yes”es. These were the guys who appreciated the honesty. We had actual, meaningful conversations right from the start. We talked about what we wanted in a partner, what our values were, and what our future goals looked like.
I went on a few dates with guys I met this way. It was so refreshing! No games, no guessing. We both knew what we were there for. Even if there wasn’t a romantic spark, I felt like I was actually connecting with people on a deeper level.
The Outcome?
I haven’t found “the one” yet, but I feel way more optimistic.I’m getting real good result and the process feels so much more efficient and less emotionally draining.I will keep going on.
Priority dating taught me the power of being direct and honest. It’s about valuing your time and energy, and not being afraid to go after what you want. It might not be for everyone, but for me, it’s been a game-changer.
