I’ve categorized the most common blind spots into a framework called The Three Dating Tendencies. Each group struggles with unrealistic expectations. The Romanticizer has unrealistic expectations of relationships. They want the soul mate, the happily ever after—the whole fairy tale. The Maximizer has unrealistic expectations of their partner. They love to explore their options and want to feel absolutely confident they’re making the right decision. The Hesitater has unrealistic expectations of themselves. They feel like they’re not ready to date.
