Are You Ready for an Intentional Friendship?

What is an intentional friendship? It is the time between a simple friendship and a dating relationship with someone you think might be 'the one.' It is also a place where you agree to get to know each other better, where you spend consistent time together regularly so you can ask deeper and detailed questions that go beyond general friendship. Then at some point in time, you can decide to intentionally date or to remain just friends. 

Benefits of an intentional friendship: 

• There is a lower risk of a broken heart.
• There's a lower risk of rejection and the pain that comes along with it.
• You grow personally and make adjustments and changes. 
• You have more time to get to know someone without the pressure of dating.
• You are more in control of how much time to talk and spend together because expectations are lower.
• You learn about their boundaries and their respect for your own 
• You can be yourself dash most of the time when people are dating they put up a good front to impress the other person, but in an intentional friendship, you can just be real.
