Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the key concept in the question: it asks why people date to find companionship, support, and develop new friendships.
Recall the definitions of the given theories: The need to belong theory suggests humans have a fundamental desire to form and maintain strong, stable interpersonal relationships.
Understand that the bystander effect relates to how people are less likely to help in emergencies when others are present, which is unrelated to dating motivations.
Recognize that social loafing refers to individuals exerting less effort in group tasks, which does not explain dating behavior.
Note that cognitive dissonance theory deals with the discomfort from holding conflicting beliefs, which is not about seeking companionship or support.
