We want to feel desired, needed and loved. But, we know from experience that finding the perfect partner is not going to be that easy! 

If you're single and trying to find your perfect partner, you may consider dating apps.

But is that such a good idea? 

An estimated 25 million people are on dating apps, many with one goal in mind … to find “the one?” 

But with the convenience of dating – and the potential for instant rejection in the palm of our hands – using dating apps can be stressful. 

As some research has found, dating apps can chip away at our self-image or maybe even feed depression.

Rejection can happen at any time! 

Dating apps give users a way to meet and interact with people without the need to go out of the house.  

“Being able to get on a dating app all the time, we get trained to think we should be able to get a response at the same rate...go on a few dates...and finally meet our dream partner...but that's  definitely not the case, is it? 

It's human nature to jump to negative conclusions and manufacture reasons when we don’t instantly get the reaction we were hoping for!

So, let me ask you this'...

• Do you have a dating strategy?  
• How will you recognise your perfect partner when you meet them? 
• What do you need to know about this person before you get serious? 
• Does a job, money, status or your looks matter when you are searching for your partner? 
• How many times have you gone on a first date, never to hear from that person again?
• How many times have you dated the wrong person?
