The latest installment of relationship advice from DIVA Date

Dating on DivaDate gives you certain advantages over meeting women elsewhere.

 

Your potential partners have already been screened by the system and chosen based on their level of compatibility with you.

 

But while this certainly cuts through some of the usual dating hassles, it is by no means a substitute for your own common sense. Of course, everyone knows no amount of online questionnaires is going to predict chemistry and that chemistry is just as important as a whole book full of compatibility factors, but even beyond chemistry, you should be testing the limits of your compatibility whenever you meet someone new.

 

It's too easy to meet someone who's seemingly amazing and assume the best, without stopping to think about the reality of the situation.

 

Consider a few things:    

 

People don't always tell the truth in their personality compatibility test.    

 

Sure, we'd love it if everyone was 100% honest, but most people aren't actually honest with themselves, so how can anyone be 100% honest with the test?    

 

People don't set out to lie, but quite often you'll see them clicking on the option that describes the person they would like to be, rather than necessarily who they are now.    

 

People change.    

 

How long has it been since you've taken the test? While people's core personality may not change, their outlook on life and their hopes and dreams may well do.        

 

The personality test doesn't measure everything.    

 

This is where you come in, with your questions about things that matter to you. While the test can capture someone's core personality, there are plenty more things to explore. And after all, you wouldn't want it any other way, would you?

 

So before you jump into a relationship with someone, closing your eyes and ears to anything that may interfere with your rose tinted view, make sure to pay attention on your first dates, ask the questions that matter to you and really pay attention, rather than assume.

 

Pay attention to non-verbal communications as well, as actions often speak louder than words. One of the best things about the personality test is that it makes you start to think about what's important to you, but you can and should go beyond that and actively think about more things that are important to you.
