Are you just checking boxes?
Sorrell also encourages daters to make sure they aren’t just checking boxes off a list. Everyone has a list: must be college educated, must love to travel, must love animals, etc. There’s nothing wrong with wanting certain characteristics in a partner. But if we’re obsessed with the list, we might make decisions to rush into something based on what’s on paper, rather than assessing the true connection there (or lack thereof). Sorrell also suggests asking yourself if you share interests with this person. It’s easy to like the idea of someone who loves philosophy or fitness but…do you actually find interest in those things?
