When it comes down to modern dating we often find ourselves using tools such as social media, money, materialism and social proof in order to attract a suitable partner towards our direction. This might be one of the biggest misconceptions when it comes to dating. If we are truly dating with intentions to marry or to form healthy relationships I believe we need to start showcasing other traits that are more valuable long term. It's often better to lead with your character, personality, and interests to attract someone who appreciates you for who you truly are.
