"It's not the destination, it's the journey" is a quote we often encounter in various life situations, and for good reason. Coined by the American philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson, this phrase illuminates a straightforward yet often-overlooked truth about life: relishing the journey is just as significant as reaching the destination.
Enter the emerging NATO dating trend an acronym for 'Not Attached to an Outcome - that perfectly reflects this philosophy. Dr Chandni Tugnait, life coach and relationships expert partner with Tinder India, refers to it as embracing a more open-ended and liberating approach to dating allowing the connection to evolve organically.
