5 Important Things

to Know Before "SPRINGING"

into a Relationship

By Tammi Pickle

e open to making a new friend. No one is going to check

off every box on your list. Look further than looks, height

and education. Do you get along? Are they kind? Do they

treat you well? Is there chemistry? Do you have things in common? These are important things to look for and will take further in the long run. You want a strong bond, friendship and a deep connection with your partner that will last through life’s crazy curveballs, that is what is important.

Communication is so important. In the beginning you do want to let your partner know what you want and need from them. If you don’t speak up, then your partner is left in the dark wondering what it is you need from them. There is a lot of miscommunication that happens when you assume someone knows what you want or need from them. For example: Your new date doesn’t ask you out weekly, but you really want to see them. Be open and transparent about your desire to see them, don’t be scared to put yourself out there. If the person is into you, they will appreciate that you want to see them weekly and that you’re being honest with them.
