The 5 Stages Of Dating You Should Know.
Are you in a relationship or you're starting one?
Know this and know peace! Whether you’re at the start of a blossoming relationship or been with your significant other for years, every relationship goes through the same five stages of dating. These five stages are attraction, reality, commitment, intimacy and finally, engagement.
Let's face it! It may seem pretty obvious, but relationships – whether romantic or platonic – grow with time and undergo distinct changes as bonds are formed and intimacy is developed. As your relationship evolves through each of these stages, you’ll learn more about each other and determine if you and your partner are committed and destined for a lifetime together.
If you’ve begun dating someone new or if you’re unsure at what stage your existing relationship is at, this blog is for you. Below, we’re going to talk you through each of the five stages of dating, so you can work out where you and your partner are right now and more importantly, whether your relationship has the strength to flourish into a long-term commitment.
1. Attraction
Attraction is the first stage of dating, and plays a fundamental part in whether the connection can develop into something more. Whether you meet each other naturally whilst out with friends, family, or acquaintances, through a matchmaker or on online dating sites or apps, there has to be an element of attraction between each couple for it to develop into something romantic. Often known as the honeymoon phase, this is the stage at which everything feels very new and exciting and seems almost perfect.
This stage often lasts for the first few months of your courtship and will see constant communication between the couple with lots of messaging back and forth on different channels such as texting, dating sites, social media and WhatsApp as well as long phone calls and video calls in the evenings on the days that you are not together. You will also find that during this period you will go on lots of dates and make time to get to know more about one another before you decide whether to take things to the next level.
2. Reality
Stage two is reality, and it tends to creep up on you slowly and can last for around six months. This signals the end of the honeymoon phase and is the point at which you might start to see flaws in your partner and notice things that annoy you.
This doesn’t mean you no longer like or love each other; it’s just reality and life setting in and you tend to become more aware of your partner after the rush of hormones has subsided. For example, you may find that as you start spending more time together you notice little quirks or habits that you might not have noticed at first.
Unfortunately, it is this second stage where lots of relationships fail. But the good news is, if you make it past this stage this is a good sign of things to come.
3. Commitment
Once you get past the reality stage, you enter the commitment phase. At this point, you express a desire to be with each other exclusively and you have grown to not only recognize but accept the flaws that may come with your partner.
This agreement to commit to each other regardless of circumstances also means accepting their dreams, goals, wants and needs in life. This could mean things like deciding where you want to live together, helping them to achieve career goals and discussing plans for the future.
4. Intimacy
Stage four is intimacy and this typically involves nurturing the true love that has been cultivated over the last year or so. Contrary to popular belief, this stage doesn’t just relate to physical intimacy either, it’s also about connecting beyond the superficial.
Once two people have bonded with each other, this is when true love really begins. This stage usually means opening up to one another and really letting your guard down. For the first time in the relationship, you will become vulnerable without holding back, learning about each other’s pasts and deeper feelings and seeing their true character in a new light.
5. Engagement
The final stage is engagement and blissful love. This is where you ultimately decide to pledge a lifelong commitment to your partner and take things to the next level. This level of commitment comes with working together to plan a happy and fruitful future with each other.
Even though you have made a commitment, it doesn’t mean that your relationship will be without its ups and downs in the future. The important thing is to learn to apologize and forgive when things go wrong and instead work together as a solid partnership to overcome any challenges that life throws your way.

All Women Are Gold-Diggers... - Linda Ezenwammadu
Before you visit your armory, nurse your pains. It takes a little time to heal from cut wounds caused by the sharp edges of truth. So before you jump into conclusion or say the words; can you imagine? Let's see if she has a point or not, so without further ado, let's dive right into it.
Read the article below. 👇
.
All women are gold-diggers and other bullsh!ts some men say.
Not every ambitious woman you come across is a Gold-Digger.
And this is why.
A woman who is thinking of settling down is not going to waste her time tending to a man who has no plans or priorities for his future as a potential husband, father, and career/businessman.
Sure it’s natural for many women to nurture their loved ones and according to God, wives must submit to their husbands (Ephesians 5:24) but no one will submit to a man who is only a dreamer and doesn’t work to achieve those dreams. That can be dangerous.
As a man, not setting a goal and having plans to achieve these goals is telling a serious woman that you have a plan… a plan to fail. No wise woman will stick with a man like this.
There are two main goals a man should have. The Short Term Goal (STG) and the Long Term Goal (LTG). Both should never be the same, however, you have a higher chance of achieving your LTG if you have taken your STG seriously and achieved or are on the road to achieving them.
Steve Harvey, tv show host, author, and one of the Kings of Comedy gives us a perfect example in his book ‘Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man’ [I recommend you read] of his short and long term goals and the plans he used to achieve them.
One of his short-term goals was telling jokes to his audience and generating at least $2,500 per week. He achieved that and in no time, set a new goal to become a headliner earning about $5,000 to $7000 per week by upping his skills. It took him about eight years and he met his goal. Eventually, he met another great comedian ‘Sinbad’, who earned from $50,000 – $70,000 per week from working at a particular club, and Steve in his own words, ‘wanted a piece of that action.’ This prompted him to set an LTG that would afford him the kind of life he envisioned. One of his plans included getting into television which would provide the type of lifestyle for his family that would make him proud. Other plans that will help him reach his goal included networking and getting the right connections, getting a great team, and knowing those comedy clubs to target.
All these take time to achieve and one would need commitment, patience, the right partner [professionally and in terms of marriage], and God to be able to achieve it all.
You see, you may not have ‘blown’ in the Nigerian sense of hitting your financial goals but once you can prove that you have plans and are following them to achieve your goals, a good woman will stick by you and even help you in making your dreams a reality [while you do the same for her] — One verse of the Bible which gets overlooked is Ephesians 5:21, ‘SUBMIT yourselves to ONE ANOTHER because of your reverence to Christ.’ — This would be a topic for another day.
Men should be able to identify Gold-Diggers instead of grouping every ambitious woman in the same low category.
Every woman who is serious about settling down should ask her potential man what his Short and Long term goals are. Of course, you should ask these questions in an enthusiastic and interesting way that would make it easier for the man to spill because men enjoy talking about themselves. You do not want to turn a cheerful but important getting-to-know-you kind of conversation into a murder-investigationkind of conversation. It needs to be balanced.
It’s also important [as a woman] to be able to see yourself as part of his goals. You should also have yours of course and they should align with his. Don’t get it twisted, you must not be in the same field to have aligned goals i.e. You both must not be medical doctors before you can build a good and enjoyable life together.
Some men have plans and are working well to achieve them but they might not be space for you to be part of it and that is okay. Instead of trying to squeeze yourself, move on and meet someone who is a better fit. The last thing you’d want to be is a frustrated spouse living with a very successful man.
It’s okay as a woman/man to want more than you have presently. Just don’t look down on people but start now to take action by asking the right questions and taking the right actions.
As for men, it’s high time you also increase your standards when choosing a woman to grow with. Look at the values she possesses that could help you in becoming a better man/husband/father/worker instead of focusing [only] on the physical assets she has.
This way you increase your chances of not falling into the traps of the real Gold-Diggers and grouping every ambitious woman you see into the same low category because that is Bullsh!t.

Female Genital Mutilation: Nigerian Filmmakers Raises FGM Issues in new short film, Amira.
What happens when a story dares to break the silence?
![]() |
Director Michael Ichie Panda Okolie |
Nollywood’s latest short film, Amira, is not just another cinematic release, it’s a raw and urgent confrontation with the harrowing reality of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM). This age-old practice, which continues to strip millions of women and girls of their bodily autonomy, often exists in the shadows. But Amira refuses to let it stay there.
With some of Nigeria’s most respected filmmakers rallying behind it, the film is set to spark the conversations many would rather avoid. Acclaimed industry figures Imoh Umoren, James Omokwe, Remi Ibinola, and Obinna Okerekeocha are joining forces as executive producers to back the vision of director Michael Ichie Panda Okolie and screenwriter Osas Idubor.
More Than Just a Film, A Mirror to Reality
For screenwriter Osas Idubor, Amira is not merely a story, it is a voice for the unheard.
“This film speaks for those who have been silenced for too long. FGM isn’t some distant, abstract issue, it is happening right here, in our communities, in our backyards. We cannot keep turning away,” Idubor asserts.
Shattering Taboos Through Cinema
African cinema has often shied away from addressing FGM, perhaps because the subject is wrapped in deep-rooted cultural and societal complexities. But Amira is different. It refuses to tiptoe around the brutality of this practice. Instead, director Michael Ichie Panda Okolie delivers an unfiltered, emotionally charged portrayal that lays bare the physical and psychological scars left behind.
“This isn’t just about making a film, it’s about forcing an issue into the public consciousness,” Okolie explains.
Nollywood has long been a mirror reflecting society’s triumphs and struggles, but with Amira, it becomes a megaphone, amplifying voices that must no longer be ignored.
As the world continues to grapple with gender-based violence and human rights abuses, Amira stands as a powerful reminder: storytelling is more than entertainment, it is activism.
Watch-Out!
