The Dating Compass: Find Where You Are

Are you looking for clarity in your dating life?

Take our mini self-check quiz:

  • Do I know what I want right now (relationship, connection, growth)?
  • Am I dating out of loneliness or curiosity?
  • Do I feel safe and honest in my current dating situation?
  • Am I clear about my boundaries?
  • What kind of emotional experience am I seeking?

This isn't about labeling yourself—it's about understanding your direction.

One Week, One Intention

Every week, we post a new intention you can try in your dating life.

This week's intention:

"Speak clearly instead of hoping they'll figure it out."

Past intentions:

  • "Ask a deeper question."
  • "Say no when you mean it."
  • "Give someone the benefit of clarity, not confusion."

Red Flags & Green Lights

Quick reminders of what matters.

Red Flags:

  • You feel anxious when they text you—because it's inconsistent.
  • You're always the one adjusting your schedule.
  • They speak poorly about all their exes.

Green Lights:

  • They respect your pace.
  • They follow up when they say they will.
  • You feel like yourself around them.
