Yeah, I stumbled upon this list of 49 blessings for dating on aish.com and they are inspiring.
I love the way that judaism sends people off with blessings for each aspect of their life. Growing up in church, it seemed we prayed to counter-act "bad" things from happening. But in Judaism, there is a fundamental striving to focus on what is going well, how to keep things going well, and how to be in the moment. there is also a huge focus on... blessings.
With my confusion around dating growing by the day, having started several years ago with a middle school friend who asked me out (he got married senior year of high school and now has 3 beautiful children and works hard to provide well for his family). Dating has become a very dark subject in my life.
These blessings not only bring in G-d to the concept of dating, but they provide strength, positivity, and encouragement through the process.
I hope these blessing touch your heart, and help, the way they have helped me.
