Atlanta Singles Dating Traps - Dating Trap Number 6 - The Compatibility Trap
By: Jeff Herring
Dating is full of pitfalls and traps. Did you know that having fun together and getting along well does not necessarily predict a successful relationship? Read on to discover how to avoid The Compatibility Trap and what to do instead.
Singles fall into this trap very easily, because it is easy to assume that if you get along well and have fun together then you are compatible and a good fit for a long term committed relationship.
The problem in this trap is there is a huge difference between a recreational and fun-focused relationship and a serious this is forever long term committed relationship.
Because these two types of relationships are so very different, the criteria for choosing a recreational relationship and a long term committed relationship need to be very different.
Solution: Go ahead and have lots of fun dating. When you begin to think this fun relationship may be a candidate for a long term relationship, make sure the requirements and needs of the two of you are in alignment. Do not try to convert a recreational fun oriented relationship into a committed one, unless 100% of your requirements are met. If you find that the requirements and needs of the two of you do line up in a recreational, fun oriented relationship, you have found something quite golden indeed.
