DateWell

Conflicted Casey

“No matter what I pick, it feels like I’m leaving something important behind. I wonder if I know what I really want.”
  • Whomever they date, they feel that they aren’t being true to a part of themselves
  • Struggles to feel satisfied because of some negative feeling, such as shame or guilt
  • Can be drawn to someone, then feel restless later 
  • Often wants to make a decision, but is left second-guessing with a pit in their stomach
  • Often a struggle between what they think would make them happy versus what they feel is right
  • Often manifests as conflict between what they prefer versus what they were taught or raised to value
  • May flip-flop on what they’re looking for, depending on who they’re speaking to
  • Often wishes someone else could just tell them what to do

Emotion:

Inner pressure + Uncertainty

Inner Mood:

Torn between loyalty to certain values or expectations, find themselves in constant internal conflict, unsure which voice to trust.

Disclaimer

We understand that in presenting these dating types, we risk causing offense. After all, we’re describing real people—people like you and me.

We want to be clear: we recognize this challenge, and we’ve worked hard to avoid hurting feelings. We’ve agonized over every word to be as sensitive as possible.

At the same time, we’ve prioritized being real and honest. Too many people are struggling way too hard for way too long, and our goal is to be straight-up about how internal patterns and mindsets can contribute to that.

We’re willing to be liked less if it means helping more. That’s why we didn’t always soften things if doing so would water down the message or reduce its usefulness.

That said, it’s entirely possible we got some things wrong. We’re open to hearing that, and we’re willing to apologize and revise. If you feel anything in the “So Me” types should be changed, please let us know.

We ask that you comment with the same level of respect and sensitivity you’d want for yourself. Together, we can help bring more happiness to Klal Yisrael.
