📍 How to Start a Relationship :
Romantic relationships can be confusing and a lot of fun. Sometimes, a Relationship is the hardest part is starting one. It takes patience to find a good person, get to know them, and kick off the romance. The good news is that if you do it well, you can have a happy, healthy relationship.
Spend time together
Once you find someone that you are interested in, spend time with them. Go out on dates, meet up for lunch, or even just go for a walk and talk. Seeing each other frequently will give you the chance to connect with the other person.
- Don’t overdo it. Seeing each other a few times a week is fine, but seeing each other every day can damage a new relationship.
- Giving the other person space is not a bad thing. It can show them that you aren’t needy, which most people find to be attractive.
Learn about the other person
While you are spending time with the other person, it is important to ask genuine questions and pay attention to their answers. The more you learn about the person, the deeper your relationship can grow. They will also appreciate your honest desire to understand and care for them.
- For example, you might ask them about what things they liked to do as kids or whether or not they have any family nearby.
- Delay sexual intimacy until you feel comfortable communicating with them. That way you are less likely to have a misunderstanding when you finally do hook up.
Create trust
Creating trust takes time. You have to be consistent and show up when the other person needs you. You have to keep promises that you make to them, whether it’s showing up for a date or helping them clean their house. It is also important to always tell them the truth, and if they ask something that you are uncomfortable sharing, tell them that.
- For example, if they asked you something deeply personal on a second date, you could say “I’m not comfortable talking about that right now, but we can discuss it when we know each other better.”
- Trust often happens when you make yourself vulnerable. Opening yourself up to someone and showing them both your positive traits and your fears and insecurities helps create deeper, lasting connections.
