Lookout for the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse for daters!
-Criticism
-Defensiveness
-Contempt
-Stone walling (shutting down communication)
Guys if you're willing to maintain a healthy, happy relationship, couples of all types — whether you’re dating or married — u should try to establish a close friendship and be willing to accept influences from each other.
Because when you’re accepted for who you are and appreciated and respected, trust builds and the relationship flourishes.
Here are the key elements, my dear lovers;
-Each of you is genuinely interested of each others’ day-to-day lives, dreams, goals, likes/dislikes, and so on.
-You ask each other open-ended questions, prompting for more information and details.
-You show signs of affection like smiling, laughing, touching, holding hands, etc.
If one of you isn’t engaging in this kind of behavior, it’s probably a sign that you don’t need to keep dating. Why? Because you’re not exhibiting signs that you actually like each other!
And! lastly, try to avoid accusations.. it's not healthy..
