PAGET: Getting the definition right in a new relationship

It’s called Defining the Relationship – also known as DTR – a gift we give ourselves. Labelling a relationship provides healthy boundaries and clarity around a new connection. It also allows us to communicate what we need and ensure the other person is on the same page.

There was a period in the “before times” – before nasal swabs, social distancing and mask mandates became a thing – when I used online dating apps regularly and prolifically. I dated a slew of bachelors during that era of my life. Men who looked nothing like my usual type. Men I had nothing in common with. Men who were great in bed but had terrible personalities.
