As if the non-existence of a dating culture in Jamaica isn’t enough, dating in 2021 literally adds to the cultural challenge, but who said that a challenge is a bad thing?
Think of a challenge as a good thing, because it brings new opportunities to do something differently and, hey, you get to defy the odds.
Let’s try this dating thing, it’s a new season, or new era, where we are forced to interact online versus in person.
As a social media coordinator, I can say if there is one common thing about social platforms, it is that they enable individuals to connect more.
However, when connecting with individuals of interest, whether online or not, there are key factors to look out for.
EleganceJournal advises that, “Meeting someone online doesn’t have to happen on dating apps. In fact, a lot more people are using Instagram as their profile to connect and share with new people everywhere, every day. Your Instagram page holds a lot of potential—it’s your profile, your business card that introduces you before you start engaging. Don’t underestimate what you post daily!”
Therefore, Our Today took to listing the four areas to look for in early dating stages to know whether a man is interested.
Also, here’s a little tip ladies, never invest any more time or energy into a man who doesn’t make his interest in you clear from the beginning.
What do you typically look for in a man when dating? Our Today suggests looking out for these signs:
Kindness
Is he kind to you and other people around you? How does he treat the man who can do nothing for him? As I’ve mentioned before, the same way you say ‘morning’ to your boss, say ‘morning’ to the janitor as well. It is easy to be kind. If not: GIRL, RUN!
Affirmation
Does he make you feel valued? Does he affirm you? How do you feel?
Affirmations go a long way, and they also help to eradicate any symptoms of insecurity.
Punctuality
Is he on time to what you have planned? Is he properly groomed?
Effort equates to interest!
Progress
Does he only make new mistakes?
Communication and compromise takes you a long way into a healthy relation.
PS: NEVER bring up the past, once the issues have been dealt with.
If you don’t see these signs, he is not it, sis. So keep moving and keep it cute, sis.
