· It can give you insight on who you are when it comes to relationships
Some people would rather pretend like they’re actually dating someone because they don’t want to hear the truth.
In case the person you’re with gives an answer that is opposite from what you wanted to hear, it can completely destroy your confidence.
If they say what you have is just casual, you will have the chance to ask why. They might give reasons why they don’t see a real future with you and that is something you can learn from.
It sucks but you can move forward knowing what you need to work on.
· It stops you from wasting each other’s time
It’s better to know what you are rather than waste your time in a relationship that’s not even real. Of course you should wait for the right time because asking this question prematurely can spoil your chances of building something healthy but regardless, it needs to be said.
If you realize that maybe they want something completely different from you, you should vamoose as soon as possible. If you don’t, you will end up wasting your life trying to change someone’s mind.
· It can open you to a more meaning connection with someone else
In order to build healthy couples and strong families, you need to start by dating with purpose. This means carefully selecting who you choose to involve yourself with and also making sure you’re on the same page as you move forward.
When you hear the truth, you have the power to walk away and find someone who means for you before things get too deep.
