Choosing a dating pace that feels comfortable

Choose a pace you can discuss and revisit.

1. Write what feels manageable for messages and meetings.
2. Choose a check-in point before a bigger commitment.
3. Ask what the other person prefers and notice whether your preferences fit.

You can change your mind. A comfortable next step can also be no next step.
