You don’t really know if you’re attracted to someone until you’ve gone on several dates with them

True. Physical attraction does not make a relationship. It means you want them for their body. Alot of people that put alot of effort into their looks have terrible personalities because they are superficial or selfish or maybe just grew up ritch and spoiled so they lack empathy. True beauty comes from the personality and how they conduct themselves around others. Personally i wouldnt date someone until we were friends for a few months atleast. Your significant other should be your best friend because you spend the most time with them. They should be an asset to your life. You shouldnt be held back because your relationship. I think people who have been bullied or broken have more empathy because they know what it feels like to be hurt so they avoid hurting others. Diamonds are made under pressure. Some times the most damaged people are the ones to keep. (Depending on how they handle themselves)
