Before hitting the dating scene, do a little self-reflection. What do you actually want?
Ask yourself:
*What matters most to me?* Do you value loyalty? Faith? Open communication?
*Long-term or short-term?* Are you looking for marriage, companionship, or someone who helps you grow?
*Non-negotiables?* Figure out your deal-breakers, like honesty, kindness, or shared faith.
Knowing your relationship goals keeps you from getting sidetracked by anyone who isn’t on the same wavelength. And, bonus: it makes you way more attractive to the right people.
