Are you a “Shopper” who Never Buys Anything?

Are you a “Shopper” who Never Buys Anything?
A Kid in the Candy Store? A (gasp!) Serial Dater?

By Dr. Tess Hightower



The second greatest complaint, after liarliar profiles, for both men and women dating online, is the “disposable” quality of cyber-dating. That is, many members have either never been married, are newly divorced or just out of a relationship and not really looking for an intimate long-term love partner. Therefore, many have continous “first date” meetings.

Have you taken a good look at your online profile? Does it say that you would like a permanent relationship, marriage, children, or whatever the bait to pull more fish into your net? But does it truly reflect what you actually need or want? Are you really available for the long term commitment or are you engaged in revolving door dating?

Sometimes the most profound lie is not about height, age or weight; it’s about availability. And this lie might even be told to oneself. The desire to be in a relationship or available for intimacy might cloud the reality.

So before declaring yourself “ready for love,” you owe it to yourself and your potential dates to see if your desire truly matches your reality.
