Here are the 5 Things Not to Do in Your New Relationship
5 Things Not to Do in Your New Relationship, Relationships
are fraught with the potential for peril as well as the prospect of prosperity.
Navigating a new relationship can be especially challenging, since you don’t
really know the other person as well as someone who’s been in a relationship
for years.
There are no sure-fire ways to ensure your new
relationship is going to make it past the 3-month mark, much less three years.
But if you keep the following five tips in mind, at least you won’t lose the
plot before it even begins.
A1.
Don’t play games.
As a part of that dance, sometimes we get sucked into our
own insecurities, bravado, or ego and start playing games. We hold off on
calling or texting back. We stop flirting because they said something that
upset us, but instead of talking about it, we just stop talking.
If communication is key to a successful relationship in
the long run, learning how to communicate with your new partner is one of the
best things you can do.
A2.
Don’t overdo or rush it.
New relationships are especially vulnerable to this
phenomenon. You’ve met, you fall in love, and before you know it, you want to
give up everything else in your life — your friends, your hobbies, your family.
You want to have sex day and night and do little else.
New love is intoxicating. Most of us have experienced it
and “get” it. Enjoy the moment, but just don’t take it too far. After awhile,
remember you have friends, remember you have hobbies. This is important because
while it’s fun to lose yourself in someone else for awhile, if you do it too
long, you increase the danger of losing yourself altogether.
A3.
Don’t just become what the other person wants.
While related to #1, it’s also important on its own. You
are your own person, and while we should all seek change to better ourselves,
we shouldn’t do it just because someone else wants it. It needs to make sense
to us first.
Your personality and your individuality are what make you
uniquely special. Don’t lose that in a new relationship. Don’t be quick to give
up those things that make you unique just to please the other person.
A4.
Don’t hold back.
New relationships are an exquisite dance of baring our
emotions and our vulnerabilities to another person. Share too much, and you’re
afraid they’ll see something they don’t like, don’t find attractive, or may
reject you for.
But share too little by putting a clamp on your feelings
threatens new love before it even has a chance to root. You need to be willing
to take that leap of faith and share what you’re feeling — even if you’re
afraid. Because truth is, we’re all afraid. So one of you has to be the brave
one.
A5.
Don’t get lazy.
While it’s easy to fall into traditional roles and
routines as soon as they become comfortable, it can also be a sign of laziness.
What makes new relationships so much fun is that you don’t have those routines
yet — so don’t be so quick to fall into them.
Keep these tips in mind and you’ll find your new
relationship even more enjoyable than past ones. Enjoy!
