"Great relationships are built, not discovered. So, instead of spending all your time wondering who else is out there, find someone great, and put in the work to build that great relationship with them.” -Logan Ury, behavioral scientist, dating coach, and author of the bestselling book How to Not Die Alone: The Surprising Science That Will Help You Find Love . I'm going to propose a corny but appropriate acronym: Love Gets Built Together.
At the beginning of a relationship, it's easy to feel like things naturally click into place. There's romantic chemistry, you enjoy each other's company.
Then, maybe for a moment, you second guess it. Do you lean in and get curious? Or do you dump them and look for someone better?
Dating apps and social media have made it seem like another perfect person is always just a click away. Behavioral scientists are calling it the 'Paradox of Choice.'
The tricky thing about this disposability approach is that most modern relationships develop over time. There's so much more than chemistry. There's trust, support, accountability, common goals, shared values.
Love grows when two partners prioritize emotional intimacy and communicate their needs. Love grows through moments of unmasked authenticity and through facing life together.
At Pride Matchmaking™ (formerly Karmen Connects), we're here to help you find a satisfying match with whom you can build a strong, stable, long-term relationship.
Hookups are just a click away on the apps. But love? Love Gets Built Together.
