Don't Romanticize Him and Your Relationship

The problem with modern dating, especially when it comes to online dating, is that we create a narrative about a person in our head that's not based on reality. Oftentimes, this happens before we see our supposed crush in real life for the first time. We start projecting an unattainable, unrealistic mental image onto them. Instead of falling in love with the actual person, we fall in love with the idea of them. As difficult as it seems when you're meeting someone on a dating platform, it's better to develop feelings of infatuation that are based on reality, rather than on a fantasy image of a guy. That'll spare you the feeling of sudden revulsion, and especially: an unnecessary, awkward breakup. Realistic expectations are key to finding true love!
