Side-by-Side Spring • The Season of Dating
Enjoy Dating. Know Yourself. Discover What Could Be.
Dating is supposed to be exciting. Meeting someone. Feeling the chemistry. Wondering where it might go. Side-by-Side Spring helps you enjoy that season while becoming a little more prepared for the decisions that may come with it.
Discover what you want. Understand yourself. And when someone special comes along, discover more about the two of you.
Discover What You Want • Discover Yourself • Discovering Us
Date with your heart. Choose with understanding.
Beyond Our Love
Keep the Romance. Add a Little Understanding.
Love and attraction matter. So does having fun together. But when a relationship starts becoming important, there are a few things worth knowing beyond how you feel in the moment.
Dating With Purpose
Dating Can Be Fun and Still Have Direction.
Attraction can happen in a moment. Getting to know someone takes longer. And deciding whether you want to build a life with that person takes more than chemistry alone.
That doesn't mean every date needs to become an interview. It simply means knowing a little more about yourself and what matters to you can make dating more meaningful.
What am I looking for?
Who am I in a relationship?
And, when the time comes, who are we together?
Those are the questions behind Dating 360. Not because dating needs more rules, but because good relationships deserve more than guesswork.
The Three Discoveries of Spring
It Starts With You. Then It Becomes Us.
You don't need to figure everything out at once. Dating gives you time to discover.
What I Want
What matters to me in dating, relationships and the life I hope to create?
Who I Am
How am I naturally wired, and what do I bring into a relationship?
Who We Are
What can we learn about ourselves now that we're beginning to think as an us?
Dating 360
Become Better Equipped for Dating.
Not by learning tricks or following somebody else's dating rules. By paying attention to what matters and getting better at the conversations that help you know another person.
Discovery
Dating With Purpose
Think about what you want from dating and the kind of relationship you hope to build before momentum makes those decisions for you.
Discovery
Recognizing Flags
Learn to notice what feels healthy, what deserves a conversation and what you shouldn't brush aside simply because the chemistry is good.
Discovery
Beyond Chemistry
Attraction may bring two people together. Discover some of the other things worth talking about if you want the relationship to grow.
Discovery
Choosing Commitment
Think about what commitment really means before simply allowing time, expectations or momentum to decide what happens next.
Green, Yellow and Red Flags
Pay Attention Without Looking for Perfection.
Everybody is different. That's part of dating. The goal isn't to turn every difference into a warning sign. It's to know what you're seeing and be willing to talk about it.
Green
The qualities, choices and behaviors that help trust, respect and connection grow.
Yellow
Something worth slowing down for, getting curious about and talking through together.
Red
Something important enough that attraction shouldn't convince you to simply ignore it.
Beyond Chemistry
There's More to Discover Than Whether You Have a Spark.
As a relationship grows, the conversations change. You begin learning how another person sees life, relationships and the future.
You don't need identical answers. You need honest conversations.
Dating 360 Plus • Discover Yourself
Before You Try to Understand Someone Else, Know More About You.
Dating naturally puts a lot of attention on the other person. Do I like them? Do they like me? Is this going somewhere?
Dating 360 Plus gives you another place to look: yourself.
Your personal ProScan helps you better understand your natural behavioral needs, communication tendencies, motivators and strengths. It's another way to recognize what you may bring into a relationship before expecting somebody else to figure it out.
Self-awareness doesn't tell you who to date. It helps you understand the person doing the dating.
You still get to follow your heart. You simply bring a little more understanding with you.
Dating 360 Together • Discovering Us
When Dating Starts Feeling Like Something More.
There may come a point when you're no longer wondering whether there will be another date. You're beginning to wonder what a future together might look like.
Dating 360 Together gives both of you an opportunity to complete a personal ProScan, understand yourselves and then look at those insights side-by-side.
Your Side-by-Side comparison can help you talk about the ways you may communicate, make decisions, respond to pressure or experience the same situation differently.
It's not about deciding whether you're a perfect match. It's about giving two people more to understand and more to talk about.
The choice about your relationship still belongs to the two of you. That's exactly where it belongs.
Optional Companion
Sometimes the Difference Isn't What Someone Does. It's Why.
The Why You Do
The Why You Do explores how natural behavioral differences can affect communication, expectations, decisions and the way two people can experience the very same relationship differently.
You don't need the book to complete Spring. But if you're interested in understanding yourself and another person more deeply, it can be a helpful companion along the way.
Understanding another person doesn't mean you have to agree on everything. Sometimes it simply helps you understand where they're coming from.
Optional companion resource • Paperback, eBook, or audiobook
Keep the Romance
Please Don't Turn Dating Into Homework.
Spring should still feel like Spring.
Laugh. Flirt. Go somewhere new. Hold hands. Share your favorite music. Stay up too late talking. Ask something you've always wondered about. Listen to a poem together.
Some of the best discoveries happen when nobody is trying too hard to have a meaningful conversation.
Use Spring to create opportunities for those conversations, not to force them.

A Simple Reminder
Enjoy the person in front of you.
Understanding should add something to dating, not crowd out the fun of it.
Love may begin with a feeling. Discovery gives two people more to talk about.
Listen together. Enjoy the moment. And see where the conversation goes.
Beyond Our Love
As the Relationship Grows, So Do the Conversations.
There are questions you may never think to ask on the first few dates. Later, they can become some of the most important conversations you have.
What Do I Need?
What Do You Need?
What Matters to Us?
How Do We Communicate?
How Do We Handle Differences?
What Does Commitment Mean?
What Kind of Life Do We Want?
What Comes Next?
The goal isn't to have every answer. It's to get comfortable having the conversations.

Unlocking Lasting Love
Choosing Commitment
At Some Point, Dating Begins to Ask a Bigger Question.
Do we want to keep building this relationship together?
Spring isn't designed to answer that question for you. No assessment should.
Instead, it gives you ways to think, talk and learn before making a decision that belongs to you.
You may discover things you have in common. You may discover differences. You may find new things to appreciate about each other or conversations you still need to have.
Choosing someone matters. Knowing more about the person you're choosing matters too.
Every Relationship Has Its Seasons
Spring Is Just the Beginning.
Side-by-Side is built around the idea that relationships change. What two people need to talk about while dating isn't always what they need after years of building a life together.

Summer

Questions About Side-by-Side Spring
A Few Things You May Be Wondering
Do I need to be dating someone to begin?
No. Dating 360 begins with you. You can use it to think about dating, relationships and what matters to you before someone special is even in the picture.
What's the difference between Dating 360, Dating 360 Plus and Dating 360 Together?
Dating 360 helps you think more intentionally about dating and relationships. Dating 360 Plus adds your personal ProScan so you can better understand yourself. Dating 360 Together is designed for two people and includes two ProScans plus your Side-by-Side comparison.
What is a ProScan?
Within Spring, your ProScan is used to help you better understand your natural behavioral needs, communication tendencies, motivators and strengths. Dating 360 does not require one. It is included with Dating 360 Plus and Dating 360 Together.
Does Dating 360 Together tell us whether we're compatible?
No. It doesn't give your relationship a score or decide whether two people belong together. The personal insights and Side-by-Side comparison give you more information to understand and discuss together.
What is Beyond Our Love?
Beyond Our Love is part of the Spring experience. It invites conversations that move beyond attraction into areas that can become more important as a dating relationship grows.
Is Spring going to make dating feel too analytical?
That's not the goal. Dating should still be fun, romantic and spontaneous. Spring is there to add some useful questions and understanding along the way, not turn the relationship into a project.
What happens if our relationship moves into another season?
Side-by-Side continues with Summer for building life together, Autumn for rediscovering one another through the seasoned years and Winter for couples navigating a tired or pressured season.
