The intentional dater knows what they want and says it upfront. They ask about your goals early, have real conversations about the relationship, and actually move things forward instead of leaving you guessing.

Best match number three, the intentional dater. This is a solid match and here's what you can look for. They know what they want and they're clear about it. They're not just seeing what happens. They communicate expectations early. They're looking for partnership, not entertainment. They move at a healthy pace, not rushing, not dragging. Why they work for chasers is because the chaser often ends up with people who are unclear about what they want. Let's just see where this goes. I'm not looking for anything serious or they'll say something like I don't like labels and the chaser stays hoping the person will change their mind. The intentional dater eliminates that trap. They're clear. They're direct. They're not leaving you guessing. Some of the green flags are they tell you what they're looking for early. They ask about your goals and intentions. They don't avoid relationship conversations. They make decisions, not excuses. They show progress, not just potential.
