Dating sometimes feels like a never-ending cycle of ghosting, weird situationships, and "what are we?" conversations. But thankfully babes… we don’t have to settle for chaos. The trick to this is ✨dating with intention✨You see, when you date with intention, you stop entertaining the wrong people and start attracting the partner who actually aligns with you. Let’s get into it.

1. Get Clear on What You Want

Before you start swiping, ask yourself: What do I actually want in a relationship? Write down your non-negotiables, your values, and the kind of partnership that makes you feel fulfilled. Clarity is the first step to attracting the right person.

✨ TGLM Tip✨

Make a list of 5 must-have qualities in a partner and 5 red flags you won’t ignore.

2. Date From a Place of Wholeness

You’re not looking for someone to "complete" you—you’re already whole. The right relationship should enhance your life, not fix it. Do the inner work, practice self-love, and make sure you’re showing up as your best self.

✨ Ask Yourself✨ 

Am I seeking love out of loneliness or from a place of confidence?

3. Set Boundaries & Stick to Them

The right person will respect your time, energy, and boundaries. If someone’s inconsistent, makes you second-guess yourself, or doesn’t meet your standards—it’s a no.

✨ TGLM Rule✨

If they only text you at 11 PM, they are NOT your soulmate.

4. Stop Entertaining What Doesn’t Serve You

You can’t attract the right partner if you’re still entertaining the wrong ones. Stop responding to that ex who "just wants to check in." Unfollow that almost-relationship that left you confused. Make space for the love you actually deserve.

✨ Mantra✨ 

I only make room for relationships that align with my highest self.

5. Let Actions Speak Louder Than Words

People will say anything, but what do they show you? Consistency, effort, and respect should be the standard—not the exception.

✨ Remember✨

Someone who truly wants to be with you will make it known. No mixed signals required.

6. Trust Your Intuition

Sis, you already know when something feels off. Your intuition is your superpower—listen to it. If something doesn’t sit right, don’t ignore it.

✨ Red Flag Alert✨

If you have to keep making excuses for their behavior, it’s probably not the right fit.

7. Be Open, But Don’t Settle

You might have a type, but sometimes the best connections come from unexpected places. Be open to love, but never lower your standards.

✨ TGLM Reminder✨

There’s a difference between compromise and settling—know the difference.

Key Takeaways

• Dating with intention means valuing yourself enough to only entertain relationships that uplift, respect, and truly align with you.

• The right partner will meet you at your level—no chasing, no confusion, just real connection.

Wishing you the best of luck girlies!!
