lovers-9

Starting any new relationship can be exciting and scary all at the same time. Emotions are tricky little buggers that can make you feel one thing one minute and something completely opposite the next. This is why it is important that when you begin to date someone, that you create a steady foundation to build your relationship on. No need to rush even though you get butterflies in your stomach every time you hear his name or see his face.

I am not saying that having those butterflies is a bad thing, but I am saying that we as humans tend to react on emotions first than on actual reality. I know I have been guilty of this time and time again. Wanting to make a change, I researched and came up with 6 great ways to create a rock hard foundation and help those butterflies stay right in the pit of your stomach.

  1.  Take Your Time: When dating someone, it is okay to take your time. Enjoy the process of getting to know them. This can save a big headache in the longer run, TRUST ME.
  2. Continue To Learn: This way you will always have something to talk about. You can only talk about how someone’s day was for so long. Stay up to date on what’s happening in the world, create new opinions, read a new book, and grow!
  3. Show Appreciation: It is important to take a moment each day to let the person know you value them and appreciate something they have done for you. You will be amazed at how your appreciation can shift a bad mood into a good mood and a good mood into an even better mood.
  4. Be open: I am not saying be an open book right away, but it is okay to be vulnerable and talk about things your love. Share your passion with them. It’s extremely attractive when you see someone light up when they talk about their passions.
  5. Ask: Ask questions as you begin to date. A great way to get to know someone is by asking him or her about his or her family. Whether good or bad, the answer will allow you to begin to understand the outline of who this person is.
  6. Silence: In today’s society we are so connected that if we don’t get an immediate response we create heart-breaking scenarios in our head. We have to learn to be okay with the silence. If he doesn’t text back right away that’s fine! You text again and still nothing? LET IT GO! They will get a hold of you when they can.
