Open Casting Is The Dating Trend That Expands Your Options - How To Try It
>
By CHRISTIANA MAIMONE
Open casting means dating outside of what you consider your “type” to be. It encourages you to keep your mind, and your heart, open to more possibilities.
A 2016 study found that relationship satisfaction had little to do with partners fulfilling each other’s preferences and was more about whether your partner was a higher-value mate.
With new relationships, you may see the other person through rose-colored glasses and project potential onto them, which can hide their undesirable traits.
Open casting will let you look past the superficial attraction and focus on how you’re truly feeling, helping you broaden your horizons and ensuring you don’t limit yourself.
Through open casting, you can create a wider net that can help you break free from unhealthy relationship patterns while keeping your standards and values intact.
