Dating involves a lot of psychology and commitment that most people only get to feel its full effect and the fantasies in it all in visions and imagery.
Most people have never really mastered the art of dating and most dating attempts have ended prematurely and some do not really come to any fruition despite looking like they are just fine.
Here are the realities that most people have been unaware of and some have sadly ignored it all.
1. Texting or calling first. Being the first to text or call someone you are dating is not at all a sign of weakness and neither does it take anything from you. Most people have been shunning doing the texting or calling first because they think that the opposite number would deem them desperate. That however isn’t the case as doing the texting first at any point of the day or calling only makes the others know you are really thinking of them and it makes them happy. Even if they do not get to reply back as in the case of a text message because of the reasons known to them, they would have the idea that you are thinking about them at the back of their minds.
2. If it fails, it’s not always your failure
Many individuals have blamed themselves for a failed relationship despite trying their best to keep it going. It however isn’t one person’s fault as most of the time, the other person could also be unwilling to date because of other reasons known to them. It could be that they do not wish to start dating just yet and want to be alone or it could be the case of ‘once bitten, twice shy’ as in the case of failed or bitter past experiences.
3. Text messages are not the best means of communication
Relying on text messages to get the feelings the other person has towards you is a bad idea. There are cases when the other person could be tired and just give the phone to a friend to have the conversation while they sleep. This could be seen clearly especially when you meet them next day and they know very little of what you talked about or are behaving like you never talked about anything. It is therefore advisable that you talk to the person face to face and get to hear what they talk.
4. The best takes time
Falling into love at random sight could be fatal and disguisedly a passport to constant disappointments in the future. A lasting relationship is one built on friendship and the love comes in between the friendship without you having to mention it constantly. You will find that its friendship but then you cant really do without one another. Love takes time.
5. Relationships can’t be emulated or replicated
Successful relationships may not be as perfect as you see them. Most successful looking relationships also have their ups and downs that only those in the know about. Trying to copy how the other relationship is and transferring it to yours is suicidal and could harm what you already have. Just handle everything step by step.
