Psychotherapist James Earl reveals how the cost-of-living impacts couples during the dating process.
If the answer to those questions is no, we generally say:"Thanks, bye." But, if the answers to those questions are yes, I believe that has the potential to turn into a serious relationship.
I think everybody is feeling less secure and has a question mark over whether they can afford to make it by themselves or offer anything to a partner. So I think it's had a really disheartening effect.James says the cost-of-living crisis could have a detrimental impact on dating.

Because that phase is not developing, they may break up. Dating usually looks like it's on a trajectory somewhere, so if there is no next stage because the couple can't afford to move on, sometimes that means the relationship ends and the whole process starts again. I often work with couples in long-term relationships and one of my early questions is:"How did you meet and how was the dating phase". Quite often people say:"Yes we had the initial dating phase; we were really into each other and had lots of sex".
While there can be a benefit to not having that very exciting honeymoon period because there's no huge decline in passion, I believe the downside is that there is less to refer to if you do want to try and amp the relationship back up by referring to how it was.James says that after finding the right person, dating doesn't have to involve huge expense.

We can create connected energy outside of the bedroom in lots of different ways. Whether it's reading to each other, playing a game, baking a cake or just clowning around together, all that stuff is possible at home and without too much expense.
