I am still fairly new at this dating thing but amazed as to how fast some people start talking about how they feel about someone they have gone out with once or twice. Both men and women I have talked with, wondering whether they think they can end up with someone after dating for 2 weeks.
This kind of dialogue brings me back to my high school days. I remember meeting a boy and after the first kiss writing "Cheryl and BOB 4ever" or the classic movies sequence where someone sits scribbling "Mrs. Cheryl Smith".
My question is- after how many dates should one really contemplate if the person in their lives is the "right one"? When do we start to make seeing them a priority or asking the other person to make us one in their lives?
There are individuals that I have met and right from the beginning there was no connection. In a case like that, all I am confident of is there will be no second date.
Then there are people I meet that I find intriguing, bright, witty and there is a natural chemistry. I look forward to hopefully meeting them again and would enjoy the process of getting to know more about them. ONE STEP AT A TIME! No pressure.
The key for me, is to decipher if there is a platonic or romantic connection and let the intention be known. From then on, I want to take my time and appreciate being together without expectations and complications.
I recently became reacquainted with a man I met 2 years ago and learned certain relationships can’t be rushed, even when there is immediate chemistry. I truly believe that, if and when its meant to be, it will be.
Timing is everything and patience is a virtue!
Where do you weigh in on timing in relationships?
