Relationship or Partnership? How to Tell the Difference

Image
Are you in a relationship or partnership? Here’s why knowing the difference can change the way you date and fall in love. — We often use the words relationship and partnership interchangeably — but they’re not the same thing. All partnerships are relationships, but not all relationships are partnerships. Understanding the difference can help you name what you actually want, assess what you’re in, and co-create something more aligned. Here are five ways to explore the differences. Relationship or Partnership? How to Tell the Difference 1. A relationship is connection; a partnership is collaboration. A relationship might be romantic, fun, exciting, or emotionally intense — but that doesn’t automatically make it a partnership.

Image
Detach from the outcome in dating? If dating has been frustrating, follow these 5 tips for dating success! — Why should you detach from the outcome in dating? It’s not about keeping the person you’re dating at arm’s length. The reasons for detaching from the outcome are all about not losing yourself or jumping ahead into a future that doesn’t exist yet. Otherwise, dating can feel like a rollercoaster — one minute you’re excited, the next you’re spiraling into “what does this mean?” territory after a text or a look or an unanswered message.  You want things to work out. But when you grip too tightly to a specific outcome — whether it’s a second date or a fantasy future — you lose your ability to stay present. You stop listening, observing, and enjoying the moment. And you start performing, pleasing, or projecting. What does it look like to detach from the outcome in dating — not because you don’t care, but because you want to stay level-headed?
