The Dating, POI, Relationship Blog

Dating used to be an easy thing to define, but now there are so many other terms floating around—from "hanging out," or "just talking," to "in a relationship"—that it can be hard to know where you stand anymore. POI questions.

When the term POI came out and people starting asking about their POI, I was completely confused. Your person of interest is not a date or a relationship. Theyre only an individual that you have a crush on in layman’s terms.

Dating” means spending time with someone you're interested in romantically. Typically, people date to get to know each other and decide if they're compatible enough for a long-term, committed relationship. People who date tend to have an intimate experience, though it may not always be physical. More often then not, it is.

It’s important to remember that there are key differences between dating and relationships.

Dating isn’t meant to be anything solid and is not any type of guarantee of a future with that person. 

No expectations

When you’re in a relationship, there are certain expectations that go along with it. This is normal as you’re in a committed relationship. 

But, when it comes to dating, you shouldn’t have any expectations. You just get to know each other, so don’t expect a relationship out of it.

It’s important to know what is dating versus what it isn’t. Remember, there are no guarantees with dating, and you have to keep it in perspective and realize that. 

Don’t assume this person is going to be “The One”, and then become upset when things end.

Some people date more than one person at a time, and you need to think about how you feel about that. You can’t blame them for doing so, but you don’t have to be comfortable with it. If you’re not, move on and date someone else. Be open and honest

Relationships

A relationship means “we are exclusive”. We are only seeing each other. Thst is a conversation that you must have TOGETHER. You both agree together that you are only seeing each other. TOGETHER you are making choices, conversations, plains, etc. You are only sleeping with each other.

Dating and POI’S are not relationships.

Give things time to grow as you date and don’t assume or jump. When someone wants to be committed- THEY ARE
