Avoid getting too caught up on how you feel about a match from a dating app too prematurely.

This is where you get emotionally carried away after having been on a few great dates with said match and already believe that this is your soulmate.

Keep in mind that in the first few weeks of courting, you don’t fully know who you are dealing with.

Your desire to delete the dating apps is understandable given how exasperating dating apps can be.

After weeks or months of frustration with matches you ended up not being compatible with, you finally match with someone who connects with you on what seems like so many levels.

His physical appearance and personality are totally your type, and you align on education, interests, background, worldviews, and life goals.

There is so much you believe you have in common with him.

All of the dates you have been on with him thus far have been the best dates you have been on for a while.

He was a gentleman and showed up on the dates well dressed and clean.

He greeted you with so much warmth in his eyes, and the conversations were amazing.

You can’t remember the last time you had so much fun on dates.

By the end of each of them, you were reeling with excitement and looking forward to the next time you would see him again.

After arriving home, he was always kind enough to send you a message making sure you made it home okay.

Moreover, communication with him in between dates has been stellar.

He initiates phone calls and text messages that lead to invigorating and enlightening conversations.

In a very short time, you have learned so much about him and he about you that it feels like you have known him your whole life.

You have already shared stories with him about your life that you rarely share with anyone this early.

This level of chemistry has made you incapable of going for too long without thinking about him throughout your day, whether you are at work, the gym, a laundromat, a drive-through, etc.

In these moments, you wonder whether he is thinking of you as you are of him.

All of this has led you to believe that you want nothing more to do with the dating apps.

As far as you are concerned, it would be good riddance.

It has felt like forever with you matching with countless men who ended up being a bust.

You want so badly to get off the dating apps and focus all of your attention and emotional energy on this unicorn of a man.

It’s reasonable that you are champing at the bit to delete the dating apps, but you shouldn’t get ahead of yourself.

It usually takes one to three months of courting before two people are ready to become exclusive.

This gives you more time to ensure that his personality is genuine and he isn’t presenting a false persona to you.

Additionally, given that you originally met him on a dating app, it’s critical you know what he is looking for beforehand.

If he wants a committed relationship like you do, he has to be on board with deleting his dating apps once the time is right.

This lets you know whether you are on the same page.

After one to three months of consistent courting, the time is right for most people to become exclusive with each other.

You may be better off being at the latter end of this time frame, given that you originally met him on a dating app and probably require some extra time to determine his authenticity in persona and lifestyle.

Once you believe this has been determined, it’s time to be exclusive.

The decision to finally delete the dating apps has to be mutual.

Meaning, you both do it at the same time, having organically decided to become exclusive.
