When men and women are dating, they always seem to make
assumptions about what is going on in the other person's mind.
They have already decided on what the other person is thinking,
what the other person wants, or what they need. Assuming things
like this will lead to nowhere, fast. All that you will do is
create misunderstandings, guilt, and potential embarrassing
moments.
Here is a little story: Stacy's sister was having a beautiful
romantic wedding ceremony. Of course Stacy wanted to bring her
date Michael to the wedding to share this incredibly romantic
experience with. During the wedding festivities Stacy was
flowing with joy and love that was in the air from the entire
wedding atmosphere.
She asked for Michael's hand and wanted him to look deep into
her eyes as they danced. But Michael acted cold towards her.
Unfortunately for Stacy, Michael had already been bitten by the
love bug for another girl just a week earlier and just went with
Stacy because he thought that she just needed a friend to go to
the wedding with.
The following are lessons that we can learn from Stacy's
experience:
- Do not have expectations. Whatever happens between two people
is unpredictable and some people will react poorly to demands
early on in the courtship. Without expectations then few
feelings will be hurt if the date goes poorly and better yet if
the date goes good, then it will be a 'bonus'.
- Make sure that you both openly agree on exactly what the date
is about and what you each are there for.
- Be totally honest with each other about other relationships
from day one. If you are seeing somebody on a casual basis, be
open about it!
- Be clear with each other exactly what the date plans are to
be. Sometimes the person is not aware or not interested in what
you have planned, which may cause the outcome to be upsetting to
both of you.
