Have you ever wondered why some romantic relationships work out while others fail? It isn’t always the ones with the strongest initial attraction that work out, either. Some just seem to click and others don’t. It’s tricky, and it is also hard to know when to add intimacy to the mix.
Today, people tend to rush in their relationships. We want it all and we want it now. This is maybe not such a good idea. Instead, slow down. Too much speed may have been what damaged relationships you have had in the past.
Start by making the emotional bond in your love as strong as it can be. Base it in intellectual and emotional connection rather than in physical passion. The lasting bond will be that which has an emotional and intellectual component.
When two people share mutual respect and care deeply for each other, this is the ideal for a relationship. This makes a relationship close and meaningful.
You may be asking yourself about timing of sexual intimacy. It is hard to know when it is right, because there is no single rule. It is different in every situation. Generally, though, you will want to wait until you are in love with one another.
Don’t distract yourselves by becoming intimate too soon. If you don’t rush into sex, you won’t end up with a partner who was only there for physical attraction and easy intimacy. Instead, wait until you are in love, and make your connection based on other factors.
If you think about it, friendship is much stronger and longer lasting than sexual attraction. If your relationship starts with a bond that is based on friendship and connection, this is best. You should spend the early part of your relationship getting to know one another – your past, your goals, your hopes and dreams and so on.
When you take your relationship slow, and go one day at a time, this is going to be a very nice and relaxed experience. You will be glad you did it this way, and you will be certain of the relationship and its genuineness at each stage.You will be experiencing the relationship as it naturally unfolds, so you won’t have to worry if what you feel is ‘real’ or not. Just appreciate what you have, and let the relationship develop in time.
When you do this, you allow yourself to care for the other person as a person. Love becomes deep and genuine when it starts from being best friends.
