“The deeper dating philosophy doesn’t require you to be serious about finding “the one.” In fact, it encourages you to take the future out of the equation entirely, treating each date as a full relationship in and of itself. This means that rather than reserving true intimacy for later down the line, you make it a feature of every encounter — by first acknowledging the parts of yourself that you’re usually hesitant to reveal, and then unabashedly putting them on the table with the understanding that humans connect to other human feelings.”
