In this week's blog, Hannah Ellenwood suggests seven things to focus on as you walk through life when dating or marriage is not part of the picture.

"Picture this scenario: You’ve been getting to know a guy and you find yourself spending more time together… As you do, you notice something: There is a girl in his close circle of friends with who he seems to be really close.

“I knew running wasn’t the answer, because over time, it would suffocate the relationship I wanted to grow.”

Hannah Ellenwood continues the conversation on what qualities to value and look for in a future dating partner.
