This is so important because it is difficult to get to a place of trust, respect, and mutual love with another person overnight. It takes patience, commitment and a rock-solid foundation that begins as a tried and tested friendship. We live in a society driven by instant gratification. We think we can have whatever we want, when we want it, and not patiently have to work at it.
A good, long-lasting relationship takes putting the other person first, and letting go of your own selfish desires. You need to take time really getting to know someone before you begin dating them. As you take time you may discover this relationship is not worth the time. Then you can move on before you are in too deep.
Take it slow
