People do not need dating to meet, it is enough to just meet without labeling the interaction as romantic driven. This is why I think that people have issues with knowing the true person in front of them:they arrange a special setting instead of allowing the natural flow of interaction to happen while they put the right questions. "Dating" should be "normal interaction"

I agree with what you have said about happiness. If somebody is not happy by themselves they should work on their inner self rather than pursuing happiness in the outside world. I think it is our own responsibility to take care of our own happiness, a partner can only add or take from what is already there. I believe that when you are with the right person you feel it adds up rather than taking out. I talk about the overall energy of the person.

Dating apps are a bit of a trap and they can eat up a big chunk of your time. Maybe if used for a short while and for a specific purpose they can work. For me a dating app is out of the question as I have tried them and I do not see their purpose. Meeting a person through a common friend or in your circles may be of greater use than scrolling through dozens of semi-true written profiles.

When a person is ready the right person comes. I prioritize working on myself as a person knowing that the rest will fall into place. In the end, the most important relationship, after the one we have with God, is with ourselves. 24/24
