The way people date today is a lot different than it was a couple of decades ago. Nowadays, people have various modern tools (such as dating apps and websites) at their disposal, which drastically simplify communication.
Namely, you are no longer obligated to meet someone through friends, colleagues, or anybody else in order to find a perfect match. But does it mean that all of these factors can guarantee that you’ll find love much faster?
Not necessarily. The truth is that sometimes you need to dig a bit deeper to learn more not only about yourself but your potential other half. In these instances, if you explore the depths of your personality, you just might conclude which dating style is most suitable for you.
If you’ve never perceived things this way (when it comes to dating), maybe this article today is going to help you see things from a different perspective, and who knows, speed up this “love hunt” more.
Are You A Traditional Romantic Type?
Older generations (and even younger ones) would tell you that romance has completely vanished, but that’s not entirely true. Although they may not be as “visible”, there are still a lot of romantic people out there who fall in love in the blink of an eye.
They may have had lots of relationships in the past, but that's not because they are with different partners all the time, but because they are consistently searching for "the one". They live and breathe love.
At times, these individuals are more invested in the love story, than the actual person, which may lead to a downfall because their head is in the clouds, and they may not notice the red flags along the way.
That's exactly why they tend to be in bad relationships, which they only conclude after a while, not immediately. On a dating chat, they'll probably tell you how they just fell in love with a fictional character from a movie, TV show, or book. That’s how easily they are smitten by someone.
But that doesn’t make them a bad choice for a relationship. They just need a person who’s going to keep them a bit grounded. Once they find that special someone, they will turn into the most devoted and thoughtful partner in the universe.
A Social Butterfly
These are people who simply adore socializing and talking to others, regardless of how well they know someone. With them, the overall communication is very seamless because they thoroughly enjoy meeting new people.
Now, this doesn’t mean that they refrain from social media platforms, dating apps, and other digital tools, however, they are more interested in face-to-face interaction than a virtual one. Since they thrive with larger groups of people, it’s safe to say that finding love for them is relatively easy.
The Total Opposite – An Introvert
With introverts, the situation may be a bit more complex when compared to the previously discussed category. You would think that since they do not easily meet new people, they are more drawn to social media and dating apps/websites, in general.
Even though that’s partially true, not all of them are huge fans of these digital tools. How come, you are probably wondering? Well, that’s because dating apps/websites and other things require some dedication and effort to get to know someone better, yet, they aren’t always in the mood to communicate.
However, those who do not feel too comfortable outside (when they are surrounded by strangers) usually adore using social media and dating apps/websites because they make them feel a lot more comfortable, and somewhat, less emotionally vulnerable.
Furthermore, unlike typical social butterflies, these people thrive in quieter settings and if they do not feel safe and comfortable around you, they definitely won't open up to you that quickly. Because of all these abovementioned reasons, they often have difficulty getting a boyfriend/girlfriend, regardless of how attractive they are.
An Independent Person
There’s a misconception that people who are independent are not searching for a relationship, or that they hardly ever fall in love, which is far from reality. Just like everybody else, they want to love and be loved, however, that doesn’t mean that they will give up on their dreams, aspirations, and above all, routine to be with somebody.
For example, if they are used to going for a run in the morning, then hanging out with their friends or anything else they generally enjoy doing, they won’t give up on these things just because they have a partner now.
To them, their partner is an addition to their life, not someone their world revolves around. You do not need to be their everything in order for them to feel happy. Additionally, they do not like to depend on anybody and vice versa.
However, that doesn't mean that they aren't capable of loving. On the contrary, if an independent person chooses you, that's because they really, really want to be with you because they do not like wasting their time with someone who doesn't make them happy.
A Rescuer
It’s safe to say that these are people who are a true gift to others, but very detrimental to themselves. What does it mean? Namely, they are typically interested in so-called “broken” people.
Those are individuals who had a very rough past for a variety of different reasons (like a challenging upbringing) and because of that, they’ve become a bit troubled. They are usually known as bad boys/girls.
Once the rescuer notices them, it’s like they are immediately drawn to these people because they have an abnormal desire to save or fix someone. Although it’s an amazing trait when you love helping others, keep in mind that it doesn’t mean that you should always do so, even at the expense of your own well-being.
Unfortunately, precisely because of this, these individuals aren't very lucky in terms of romantic relationships because the people they "rescue" never seem to give reciprocal love.
Every single personality has a different approach when it comes to finding true love and this type of diversity is very interesting to explore. We honestly hope that this article has helped you figure things out in terms of dating, based on various personalities that were mentioned above.
