Dating priorities

So with all the shifts in the world I think some things have started to hold more weight than others, when factoring in whether your latest tinder match could be your husband is their attachment style. 

Yes you heard it right, attachment styles play a very large role when it comes to singles finding their perfect match, as according to multiple psychology studies and dating experts, our attachment patterns can significantly influence who we’re drawn to, how we communicate, and whether a relationship actually lasts.

What are the different attachment styles ? 

When I took a deep dive on the good old World Wide Web, I found out there are in fact 4 different attachment styles when it comes to dating. 

Don’t worry if you are not familiar with what these are, it is your lucky day as I have listed them below. 

Once you’ve found out which category you fall into, definitely head to our Instagram and share what attachment style you have!

1. Secure: According to The Attachment Project, the secure attachment style implies that a person is comfortable expressing emotions openly.Therefore, adults with a secure attachment style can depend on their partners and, in turn, let their partners rely on them.

2. Anxious: If you have an anxious attachment style statistics have found that, tend to have a negative self-view, but a positive view of others. This means that they may view their partner as their literal “better half.” Someone with this attachment style deems themselves to be less worthy of love in comparison to other people, the thought of living without their partner (or being alone in general) causes high levels of anxiety. In other words, theydeeply fear abandonment.

3. Avoidant: A dismissive-avoidant attachment style (also known as “avoidant dismissive”) involves low anxiety levels and high avoidance levels. This attachment style may lead to more distant or casual relationships, sometimes stemming from a fear of commitment.

4. Fearful: With terms like Philophobia, which alludes to the idea of being afraid of falling in love, being so embedded in the dating dictionary it is not surprising that People with the fearful  attachment style tend to vacillate between the traits of both anxious and avoidant attachment depending on their mood and circumstances. 

For this reason, someone with this attachment style tends to show confusing and ambiguous behaviours in their social bonds.

So with a fair few attachment styles to choose from what category do you think you fit into?
