The mindset you have also plays a critical role in dating. As Brennan explained, “I would say that good dating is a skill. The mindset of dating is something you have to learn.”
She advised women not to go on dates with the mindset that this man could be your future husband. This adds unnecessary pressure not only on the woman, but also on the man.
Brennan said, “Have the mindset of ‘I just want this man to leave more inspired to be the better version of himself. That is my only mission in these next two hours on this date, is to inspire him to be a better version of himself.’”
“With that, when you inspire someone to be the higher, better version of themselves, they’re actually growing more towards Christ. But as a woman, that’s really our only duty on a date. And obviously you get to know them,” she expressed.
Finally, Brennan asked women, “If you’re looking for your Saint Joseph, what kind of woman would a man like Saint Joseph want?”
“Every woman has an idea of what characteristics they would want in their future husband. So, you have to take it from his perspective. What are the characteristics he wants in his future wife?” she asked. “And if you’re not those, then you either need to change your standards or, you know, actually start working on yourself.”
“We’re not dating just to date. We’re dating for the Sacrament of Marriage,” Brennan concluded.
In other words, when dating, remember P.D.A. — no, not that kind of P.D.A. — prayer, discernment, and action.
