The good news is that the beginning of a relationship is the best time to cut and run, but it can also be full of complications, especially if the sex is good.
The super needy person might stalk you. You might feel the need to “check up” on your new love (also called stalking but not when you do it, right?). You might have to close your Instagram account and lose your 26 followers, not to mention change your Facebook status.
Bad jokes aside, some relationships are not meant to be from the very beginning. They are short lived, like “fads.” Learn what you can learn from them and try not to make the same mistake the next time. This, like all my advice, is easy on the ears, but much harder to put into play.
Almost Done Here
I am so happy that this chapter/section is almost over. The wish for promise, the hope that what seems like a good thing can actually become a great thing, the fantasy that this person who tickles your fancy might be “the one,” is part of the ideal phase of close relationships. The real advice, like a kind uncle might give is:
“Take it easy, and take time to get to know someone before you jump in with both feet and no underwear, but try when you can, to imagine if what you see as slightly annoying now, might become very, very annoying at a point in time that is right around the corner.”
