UX’ing the dating mindset
And thus, uncovering irrational logic in the process
“Breaking up is part of dating”
Charlie Honeywell (not his actual name) calls it quits before he even attempts another dating round. Dating is heartbreak for him, a romantic dream stopped abruptly. Something come to an end, a tear shed, a smile gone, alas, it wasn’t meant to be.
“I broke it off.”
This leads me to investigate the feelings and moods around the concept of dating.
Assembling a study group
My study group consists of 10 colleagues and friends. They are from all walks of life. They are all actively dating, or have been recently.
They are sharing their insights on the meaning of dating, specifically the question:
Is breaking up part of dating?
Everyone is encouraged to express themselves freely, without being judged in any way.
All names have been changed to protect their privacy.
