Intentional means dating with the purpose of finding a relationship or spouse. It’s about putting in effort to actually get to know the person, their values, wants and timelines, and assess compatibility; using each others time wisely, don’t be flakey, be honest and communicate versus ghosting.
Intentional dating is what traditional courting/ dating used to be, and still is in many other countries.
Intentional dating isn’t sending a message on the app, then follow up weeks later when you’re bored, or wait till last min for plans and text late at night “hey want to get drinks tonight”..
Deloitte basically said it. Too many ppl are shallow nowadays, they write looking for marriage or relationship on their profile, and when i got a date with them, they tell me they don't really know what they want yet. It's really a slap to their face. Don't waste my time when you're not sure about what you want to do with your freaking life!

How do you go about it, practically?
Dating to find a partner of some sort. Doesn’t have to be marriage but a genuine desire to build something real. So I think it means weeding out people that don’t want similar things.

Opposite of unintentional dating - you date by accident. “Oh wait, crap, I didn’t intend to date you”

It means you are going into it with the goal of finding a serious (E.g. Marriage potential) connection and not just going with the flow because you are enjoying your today with no concern for your tomorrow. So many people end up getting into relationships that aren't bad enough to end but aren't good enough to turn into a happy marriage and end up wasting each other's time because of complacency. Dating with intention typically means you are seeking to avoid that nightmare.
I am dating intentionally now. For me it means that I am looking for a serious long term partner. And I am also not doing “I am looking for long term but don’t mind fun along the way”. I want to have fun with potential partner, not randos
isn’t all dating intentional? you have to make a plan to meet at a time and a place…
the only UNintentional dating i ever did was the time i wound up sorta casually hanging out over a few beers and a dumb movie on tv with a guy who i had expected to just be a quick anonymous hookup.

even though I wasn’t opposed to dating with a potential of marriage if it worked out, I would avoid women like the plague if they had a sign on their forehead, my goal in life is to be married so I’ll be accepted by society and my friends won’t think I’m a loser
