Rushing into a Relationship
Many times, the thought of wanting to be with someone can lead to rushing into a relationship without thinking of the consequences. Take a look at some important tips to keep in mind when you want to take a relationship gradually forward.
- It is important to give each other enough time to decide about what you are getting into.
- Do not rush into making plans every day, as that will make you addicted to the person. And you would feel bad if someday he/she is not available.
- If you have recently met someone you would like to meet again, call once and let them know you are interested. If they respond, make plans, and if not, let go!
- If things work well and the both of you hit it off, even then, do not be very pushy and curious about their lives, as there are abandonment issues which can make you insecure.
- Giving each other equal amount of space in your lives is also quite important. Do not get too nagging about commitments, as you are not married yet.
- Both of you need friends, so make sure you have some time away from each other so that you can have a life beyond your relationship. It is very unhealthy to be obsessive.
- Do not get suspicious, as that will ruin the foundation of trust which you are trying to build for each other. Respect the space of your partner.
- You need to communicate with each other as much as you can, and express your feelings of togetherness. It is very important to say, "I love you", to each other, as this helps you know that you will be there for them no matter what happens.
- Your views, feelings, affection, likes, dislikes, etc., define who you are, so communicating these with your partner will help you grow. Both of you will know if you are compatible and help you take a decision on whether or not to stay together.
- Your relationship only grows from friendship, and then into love, when you communicate with the person you are attracted to. Lack of communication will never allow you to bond with each other in order to spend the rest of your lives together.
