LOVE in the CITY. In times like these, who wouldn’t want someone to love and be loved in return? I mean it is cuffing season after all? Yet, finding love is not so easy to do when social distancing and self-isolation continue to be the norm. Hearing about the “pursuit of happiness” from my singleton clients in recent months confirmed this for me.⁣ ⁣ Living in a city, one can assume there is a larger pool of people to date, which also means less need to commit to one relationship and test drive a variety of options. Also, with a pandemic in place, it makes it even easier to make excuses and “ghost” another individual. With so many options in terms of dating apps, it seems as though one’s pursuit never seems to be fulfilled in the age of modern love.⁣ ⁣ But why? The long and short – the person has failed to commit to self-love. It is much easier to seek validation from others than it is to figure out what one truly needs and deserves in a partner. All too often people compromise their needs just to feel loved, even if only for a couple weeks.⁣ ⁣ Homework: Try taking a break from online dating and try “cuffing” with yourself this winter and ask yourself what you NEED in a relationship before pursuing one.⁣ ⁣ Panel painting by Brook / With Love from Detroit⁣ ⁣ #psychologist #therapist #loveinthecity #detroitcity #findlove #returnlove #selflove #singleton #cuffingseason #pursuitofhappiness #pandemicdating #saturdaysexting #needsversuswants #cuffwithyourself #modernlovetv #modernlove @nytimes #modernlovepodcast @wbur #withlovefromdetroit #besafe #bekind #bewell https://www.instagram.com/p/CIa8jPopOG2/?igshid=8du502nt8dlr
