In challenge number three of the Empowered Dating Challenge, I invite you to truly date casually—and explain exactly what that means for moms seeking a long-term, monogamous relationship. I break down the three distinct relationship stages (casually dating, exclusively dating, and committed relationship) and why getting exclusive too soon leads to sliding into mismatched partnerships. You’ll hear how to build and use your Ideal Partner List to distinguish a fun companion from a life partner, the importance of active vetting, and why you should avoid one-sided exclusivity and dating in the DMs. I offer concrete next steps: expand your roster, meet people both online and offline, keep options open until you’ve intentionally chosen exclusivity together, and assess fit in real life rather than in your head. Your mini-assignment: if you’re focused on just one person, get on the apps today, engage new profiles, and secure an additional date. Apply these challenges to date more effectively, efficiently, and enjoyably—so you can choose the right partner on purpose, not the wrong partner by default.
