Moving Too Fast

facial expression, person, photography, girl, beauty, If you are in a new relationship, try not to zip through any of the milestones. Just enjoy your first night out, get to know each other better and take your relationship a step at a time. Try to give yourself enough time to appreciate what is happening and savor the time you spend with your loved one.

Broadcasting Every Detail of Your Relationship

hair, human action, person, photograph, clothing, Even though you want to talk about your new relationship all day long and share every detail with your friends, try to avoid doing this because those details should remain between you and your loved one. I’m sure they wouldn’t be too happy to know that you tell everyone what is happening between you two.

Fantasizing about the Future

person, man, male, ceremony, interaction, It’s okay to make plans for the future, but try not to impose your fantasies about marriage, kids or moving in together because this can scare your new partner, who might think that you are moving too fast. Try to save the fantasies that you have about your future together for when your relationship is fully established and stable.

Sacrificing Too Much

hair, facial expression, person, woman, people, Try not to lose yourself in your relationship and save the sacrifices you are willing to make for your partner until you are sure that you are with someone who will be there for you in the long run. Don’t give up your hobbies or friends; instead, try to improve yourself so you can become the best version of yourself.

Being Too Clingy

human action, person, human positions, black hair, sitting, Even if you are in a new relationship and you want to spend every second of every day with your honey, try to avoid being too clingy and give your partner some room to breathe. It’s important to spend time alone every now and then so you can recharge your batteries and focus on the other things that are making you happy.

Social Media Stalking

human action, person, kiss, muscle, mouth, Even though you want to get to know your partner better, try to avoid stalking them on social media. If you want to know something about them, just ask. Be upfront about it and take things slowly. There’s no need to hurry.

Making Your Significant Other Choose Priorities

Brooklyn Bridge, fashion, egrets, It’s unfair to make your new partner choose between you and his friends, his job or his family. You can’t expect them to prioritize you above everything else because your relationship is just starting to grow.

Since new relationships can be both fun and tricky, try to avoid imposing your beliefs, mentioning your ex too often, lying to your significant other or being too unavailable.

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

I honestly hate it when people broadcast everything thats going on in their relationship tbh its just unnecessary

@Aisha the fact that he said it is like not a good idea. It is suppose to be a natural process but he mentions it makes it look like a military precision. Slowly but surely and there are plenty of men out there who are willing to do things mutually.

Well written article. Ladies , please do take all the points. I've done almost done the 'do not do's' mentioned here and finally I'm divorced.till now I thought it was his mistake, but after reading the article I feel like I was expecting too much out of him from the start. So ladies , please do take note of every point here for a long term relationship. Cya.

I think you should wait til you've known him for at least two months. You never know he could even have an STD!

Yesterday was my first date with my boyfriend, he is a nice i met him last weekend, he wants us to get intimate this weekend am i moving too fast what should i do?

DO NOT get intimate yet Aisha. Trust me. He may think that's what he wants but he won't appreciate it and he'll stop respecting you if for a second he thinks that you've been intimate when you didn't even really want to be. He needs to know and you as a woman need to practice how to only do things that you really want to do without being pressured or forced. Good luck! X

She said what if he has STD lol u guys are scary the poor girl lol😂 still love u guys thought we girls so that our job haha😍

You shouldn't do it. Get to know him more.

Girl just wait. Trust me been there done that. My advice is take everything slow

This is an addition to the list. It goes for guys like my current bf. Don't let your job run your life! Your girlfriend will start to feel neglected. Especially when she's trying to make time for you do things and you don't ever try.
