“But, I’m Not Married, That Has Nothing to do With ME!” | You too CAN build a friendship when dating.

“BUT, I’M NOT MARRIED, THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ME!”

Wanna bet?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You do NOT have to be ‘married’ to build a friendship, relationship, bond.

 

Relationships are about, trust, honesty, communication (2-way), listening, sharing…….. 

 

 

My gosh, this list goes on & on…

Those of you who are ‘dating’ have the same opportunities as those who are married, IF, you both have your priorities right.

 

 

 

Marriage & dating, I’ll remind you again, are NOT about sex.  It’s about building a relationship, a friendship with someone.

 

 

 

If you strongly disagree, you may not want to continue reading, because you may not “get it”.

 

 

 

 

However, if you have an open mind & do care about those around you, the following thoughts may help.

YOU TOO, CAN BUILD A FRIENDSHIP WHEN DATING

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here’s what to keep in mind while entering the ‘Dating Zone‘:

 

 

 

 

 

  • Make it a point, to understand the other person’s viewpoint.

 

 

 

  • LISTEN to the other person’s heart, not just their words.

 

 

 

  • Ask open-ended questions.

 

 

 

  • Do activities that are fun.

 

 

 

  • Be yourself.  Don’t put on an act just to the the person to like you.

 

 

 

  • Explore new interests & hobbies.

 

 

 

  • Keep physical contact to a minimum.

 

 

 

  • Talk with an older couple, of faith, & discover how they built their friendship.

 

 

 

  • Read a good book together & discuss how it’s content can help you both strengthen your relationship.

The more you know about someone BEFORE you increase the levels of your friendship, the fewer  negative surprises there will be in the future.

 

 

 

*ALSO:   try letting ‘chivalry’ rule!  Let HIM ASK YOU.  That way always speaks volumes about your morals & you don’t appear ‘desperate, impatient & controlling’!

You may think it shows “today’s tactics”, whereas in fact, it really sends the wrong message about you.

 

 

 

Never forfeit your morals & beliefs, for a “moment” of hormonal surge.  You will never be able to erase or change, with you’ve done & the impression you’ve made.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Have patience with all things, but first of all, with yourself”….

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

See you tomorrow….

BY THE WAY: Are you having challenges or struggling with things in you life, lost your job, out of money, recovery from injuries with bills coming in overwhelming you, grieving, down or depressed?  I know what you’re going through, I’ve been there, it hurts, its terrifying & you have no clue where to turn.

I honestly have been through this myself.  I was in a tragic accident last year & lost my job / income, my health & mobility.  I was devastated, the bills never stopped coming in & I was drowning in debt.  Sound somewhat familiar?

Let me share with you what I did that literally saved my life.  I’ve been able to completely turn my l life around, get back up, become more successful than ever before & financially free.   CLICK HERE   for & pay close attention to this

    Hi Linda, I will be the first one to agree with you that friendship rules. When you have a friendship to base a relationship on it speaks loudly. It is the friendship in a marriage that will see you through all the hard times. great Post and one message that needs spreading..Thanks

    Thank you for sharing Linda
    We completely agree a relationship should be set on communication and understanding one another’s feelings and emotions, because when entering a relationship you dont just get a title you have someones feelings and care to be responsible for so understanding what you both want is important so no one gets to hurt.
    Cheers
    Bobby and Stevie-Lee Awesome post 🙂

      Spot on Shaun, friendship must be established first. You have to know & develop that bond, trust & respect for each other. Thank you Shaun.

    I love this bit … “Don’t put on an act”. That can be SOOOOOOOOO exhausting and totally impossible to keep up if the friendship matures. It’s so much easier to just be you … and if that’s not enough … it wasn’t meant to be in the first place.

    Fabulous post as always Linda. Thank you!

      You nailed that one Erica. Putting on “an act” is being dishonest about who you are, & you’re so right, you’ll never to keep it going. Being someone else from the start, will never help your credibility.”Just be you”, well put. Thank you for your thoughts, I always look forward to hearing from you.
