If You’re Not Having Fun, What’s The Point?

The goal is to laugh forever with someone you take seriously.

A relationship should enhance our life, not complicate it.

I think sometimes, we forget this simple truth when we’re searching for a partner.

It becomes a chore, or a tedious task that adds to the course of our day. We have to open that dating app. We have to go on that blind date. We have to answer that text.

Dating should be fun. It provides us an opportunity to learn about someone new while exploring the thought in our mind about what a life with them could look like.

Does the conversation flow? Do your values align? Do you feel that unspoken permission to express your true self, free of judgment?

Are you having fun around them?

The one single question we should ask ourselves at the end of each date with a person is: Do I want to do this again?

Simple. Easy. Uncomplicated.

That’s really all a lifetime together with someone is — making the decision that you want to “do this again” every single day. And none of us want to keep doing something for the rest of our lives if we’re not enjoying it.
