I’m a strong believer in not wasting time, and dating is no exception. For friends dating with marriage in mind, I think these 4 questions are critical to align expectations early: 1. What are you looking to gain from a relationship? 2. What are your long-term goals (5/10 years)? 3. What are their long-term goals (5/10 years)? 4. Are your goals aligned? (Think physical location, resources, timeline, kids, etc.) What doesn’t align, and are you both willing to compromise? Even if someone doesn’t have a concrete 10-year plan, it’s essential to have open, transparent conversations about expectations and boundaries. If you can’t talk about these things early, to me, that’s already a red flag! What are your non-negotiables when it comes to dating?

Great question! I think it depends on your personality and dating style, but for me, by the end of the 3rd date, I’d want to have a solid idea of whether I see potential. If I do, that’s when I’d bring up these questions. I've always felt that it’s really not a big deal if things don’t work out early on. The longer it drags, the more time you waste—not just theirs, but yours too. For me, confidence and self-love make these conversations less intimidating. I know what I bring to the table, and I value myself and my time too much to invest in something that isn’t right for either of us. Being direct feels like the most honest and respectful approach for everyone involved!
