Simple Thoughts on Dating

When my initial thoughts, er, should I say qualms on exclusivity takes a different turn since I’m now faced with certain facts that made logic a thing of the past.
I bet I didn’t make sense, eh? Teehee.
Anyway, the point I’m trying to make is that in dating, I’ve observed, you simply can’t generalise or, better yet, box everything in and package it as a fact. I learned that you’ve got to leave room for it to breathe and grow. No pressure. No force. Just sit back and let nature take its course. Sheesh. I think I sound like a cliche.
Dating is filled with myths and theories that you need to test each one every friggin’ time especially if you’re as cynical about it as I am. But on my trek in this eventful and, sometimes, silly world of dating, I’ve stumbled upon some simple thoughts I’d like to share.
- Small things count.
- Communicating works wonders.
- Teach yourself to trust the person your dating.
- Manipulation will only serve your desires half-baked on a tarnished platter.
- “Needing” is different from “wanting”.
I’m relatively new at the whole relationship thingie since I’ve been out of it for quite a long time. I’m seeing that it somewhat resembles how people embrace technology into their lifestyle, you’ve got to keep yourself posted with the trends and the “market” behaviour, so to speak. There are things done now that were non-existent — or was it that I was just clueless? — before. You simply have to adjust. But, hey, it’s good to learn something new everyday, right?
Care to share an insight or two of your own?















It’s not so much what you fight about as it is how you fight.
That’s one I’ve learned.
Thanks, Todd! That’s one of the important things that couples should remember esp since fighting is one of the “normal” occurences in a relationship.
Heehee.
