Why get into a relationship?

 Do you remember your first partner? What drove you to them? What made you end up dating?

We have different reasons around what drove us to do certain things. Could it be that you dated mainly because everyone else was doing it or you truly loved the person at that time ? Whatever reason it may be you don't have to talk about it unless you want to. 

How was your first relationship compared to the current one. You should probably learn from whatever mistakes you made previously and improve on that. They are not meant to be perfect. We learn something new everyday. 

How has the journey been since then? For some people, they might feel the same while some don't even look back on how far they come. 

When it comes to dating we should look for someone who is compatible with us. Understanding each other is very important. Don't change in order to make the other person feel better about themselves. You will end up completely losing yourself. They should attract you. The feeling is very mutual. Both parties should be willing to make it work. 

When you get into a relationship you should have common ground with your partner. You should both know what you want and expect from each other. You should tell your partner what you bring to the table. It shouldn't be guessing game at all. There is just more to relationships than kissing, taking beautiful photos and wearing matching outfits. You make it work.

You should not be saying you will see how it goes. You should be invested in it. We just need to accept that time waits for no man. There are more things that we want to archive in life alone and some with a partner. Discuss your goals with them. If you can't simply confide in them then what are you doing?

Your partner should be a safe haven for you and you thoughts. They should be people you are not afraid to turn to when odds are against you and when you have good news.

Do not date just a random person to pass the time. That is just disrespectful. There are more reasons to be in a relationship. 

Do not wait until it is too late. The love that you bring should be felt. There should never be any guessing or doubt. When you are tired you should talk with them. 

Do not be afraid to voice your concerns in that relationship. You are not fighting them but just simply showing them. Commucating with your partner should never feel like a hard thing to do. Communication is key. We are old to be beating around the bush.
