Important Conversations To Have While Dating

Having in-depth conversations sooner vs. later is so important during the early phases of dating to make sure you’re not wasting your time. But it’s important to strike the right balance. You don’t want to have completely serious, hard conversations all the time because then you take the fun out of the dating process and come off as judgmental or rigid. You also don’t want to only have fun and not be able to go beneath the surface, because then you won’t feel you can take the relationship seriously.

Striking the right balance means you can have fun and still talk about the serious matters that will determine whether or not your date is the right match.

Some of the key things you might discover when having deeper conversations with a new romantic partner are their thought processes, beliefs, moral values, and character. These are all very core topics that are good to learn in the beginning.

In the beginning, I recommend some of the crucial conversations you have to cover your values and expectations.

You should know early on whether the two of you are in alignment when it comes to your family values, how to raise children, work/life balance, and yes, even finances. The good news is that you can learn about these matters by also being observant.

It may seem pretty awkward to ask your partner what their financial situation looks like directly at first, but you can pay attention to how they manage their expenses and money. Are their habits for better or worse, consistent? Does it align well with your values around money or not?

It's important to discuss these topics because once you’re in a committed relationship these are some of the major topics that tend to break up relationships by catching couples off guard. You want to have the best possible understanding of where you both stand on these values in order to experience a more successful relationship and weather any conflicts that arise.

Unfortunately, these topics are usually not discussed in-depth, but they have the biggest impact on the longevity of the relationship. An additional topic I would add after you’ve gotten to know each other better consistently for at least 4 months is sex. What are your boundaries? How frequently would each of you like to have sex weekly?

These are just some of the very real conversations that can help more relationships last (or prevent more of the wrong ones from the beginning) if more people started having them sooner vs. later.
