Professional matchmakers say the endless search for “someone better” may be keeping singles from building meaningful relationships
PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla., Aug. 10, 2026 — As summer winds down and a new season begins, Revolution Dating is encouraging singles to take a fresh look at how they approach relationships—and ask whether “seeing where things go” has become a substitute for genuinely giving a promising connection a chance.
In the August edition of The Singles Scene Column, Revolution Dating matchmakers Kelly Leary, M.S., and Miranda Capparelli address a common challenge in modern dating: remaining perpetually open to the next possibility rather than investing in the person already in front of you.
Dating apps and social media have created a culture of seemingly endless options. Singles can easily begin wondering whether someone more attractive, exciting or compatible might be just around the corner. According to Leary and Capparelli, that mindset can prevent promising relationships from receiving the time and attention they need to develop.
“As professional matchmakers, we have seen wonderful people walk away from promising connections—not because of incompatibility, but because they were searching for certainty too soon,” Leary and Capparelli write.
Love, they explain, does not always arrive with immediate fireworks. Attraction can deepen, trust can grow, friendship can develop and respect can strengthen over time. Continually starting over can also lead to emotional exhaustion as singles repeat the cycle of first dates without allowing potentially meaningful connections an opportunity to grow.
The message is not to overlook genuine incompatibility, lower healthy standards or rush into an exclusive relationship. Instead, Revolution Dating encourages singles to recognize the difference between allowing a relationship to develop naturally and always keeping “one foot out the door.”
As August brings new routines and the transition into fall, Revolution Dating sees the season as an opportunity for singles to put themselves back on the priority list and approach dating with greater clarity and purpose.
Rather than asking whether someone better might come along next week, Leary and Capparelli suggest asking a more productive question: Am I willing to give this person a genuine opportunity?
With the Fall 2026 dating season beginning, Revolution Dating encourages singles who want meaningful relationships to become proactive. As Leary and Capparelli remind readers, the best relationships are not simply found by accident—they are built with intention.
