(Los Angeles, CA / August 6, 2024) – Mariah Freya, founder of a fun-based sex site Beducated.comis featured in a new Cosmopolitan article“Here’s What Intentional Dating Can Do for Your Love Life.”
In Sophie Saint Thomas’ informative piece, Freya shares her expertise on the concept of intentional dating, providing valuable advice on how to navigate the complexities of modern relationships with purpose and clarity.
“Intentional dating is a remedy for the superficiality of modern dating,” Freya explains to Saint Thomas. “Instead of endless swiping, ghosting and small talk, it emphasizes quality over quantity and depth over surface” and focuses on “meaningful connections with a clear vision of what you want.” Why? Because “knowing your goals and communicating them in advance can significantly improve your dating experience.”
Freya also clarifies the term “hardballing,” which, according to Freya, “means making your romantic intentions clear from the start, sometimes even before the first date… This may include discussing how many dates are before intimacy, long-term intentions, or partner preferences. While it may seem extreme, it can be a healthy way to communicate your goals. You don’t have to mention marriage and babies on the first date, but you can indicate that you’re looking for something serious.’
She also advises, “Intentional dating is as much about the journey as it is about the destination. Embrace the process as an opportunity for personal growth and self-discovery. Each step not only leads to finding love, but also to enriching your relationship with yourself… share your goals, visions and dreams. This approach naturally filters out those who are only interested in informal arrangements.”
While maintaining personal privacy is important, Freya says she firmly believes in being “honest about your intentions, whether you are looking for a serious relationship, a casual date or something else.” Otherwise there’s just no point.
