my take - conversation

The next part in establishing a relationship is conversation. Once at least one of the two people have established that a potential connection exists, we are past initiation and onto the next stage.

• From what I gather, the approach at this level depends greatly on whether or not the two people involved are looking at the association from the same viewpoint.
• If both parties are on the same page, the flow should be fairly easy.
• Otherwise obviously some "convincing" needs to be done.
• It is very easy and common to miscommunicate in this phase.
• I think it is extremely important to start revealing thoughts and communicate with your partner in the early stages. This of course is a quality we need to work on through the coarse of the relationship.
• I am not saying we should rush to talk about where the liaison is taking us, but I think you should make sure your partner is following your perspective to some extent ....
• I would say that one should be prepared for some surprises and alterations from the perfect picture ... should be very understanding and tolorant.
• Also, you should give yourself and your partner enough time and space to walk to the next stage.
• It's a period of time when you will wake up each morning feeling like you need a flower to play I love him, I love him not ....
• From my understanding, the key idea is getting to know if you can function as a couple. Function meaning that the relationship can give both of you what you are looking for.
• Now from here on I think there is no place for selfishness. You are committing to a mutual, intimate friendship and that is where the boarders for self and other blur.
• You need to adjust and adapt.
• It's a lot of work and it's a lot of energy, you just have to keep in mind what it might lead to ...
