Dating can be drastically different from one person to the next…as can love. We could be in a romance with someone and still be playing the field, we can be resolutely monogamous and we can be a bi-man finding a straight girl and rolling into marriage. There is no one way to how we interact with a romantic partner as much as there is no one definition of what love is.This is why it is so hard for any of us to determine when our dating might truly be turning into something serious.

Some people begin to feel a need to want to be around their partner more, while others find a nice comfortable balance between socializing, business and home life and fit their new paramour in to all three. We can’t know when the journey we are on is going to turn into love other then noticing feeling in ourselves and even then those feelings might be different for each person we fall in love with and when in our own evolution we do fall in love. Some people hope their every dating leads to romance leads to love as much as other people see dating as always a casual situation where monogamy and relationships are never on the table. Again, it is a subjective assessment of what we want and why we want it and we can as much fall in love as we can fall out of it or never find it at all.Really, the one truth that seems to cut across all ethnicities, ages and sexual preferences is that when love comes we cannot stop it. If we are dating someone and we begin to fall in love with them, even if we do our damndest to ignore that love or we run and hide from that love, we are still falling in love. If we continue to date the possibility of falling in love is certainly a possibility we cannot ignore.
