yeah that sounds pretty spot on great idea @Ben-RO
and exactly @tsnyder if things are more serious its a good idea to check in with the other person but there are other times its ok to just go by instinct

Hmm, follow up question: It's pretty reasonable to be scared of losing a relationship (whatever type of relationship it is) that matters to you. But when does it become important to share how you feel and what you need and want? Is it okay not to sometimes? Or should you try and be as open and honest as possible?

@Ben-RO great questions! I think it's definitely okay not to, as long as you aren't taking advantage of someone and you aren't allowing yourself to be used.  Got to respect ourselves and others.

 

I don't think you always have to be open with what you are thinking/feeling, it can be a bit confronting sometimes, and it can be more helpful to try and just 'read the play' and be honest with yourself.  However, it you feel like it's getting more serious, it's probably worth mentioning.

What do you guys think?

It seems like it can be pretty hard to say what you want, especially when you're not sure about whether the other person wants something more serious or less serious.

 

What are some of the things that make us a bit hesitant to just share what we're feeling up front?

What does your ideal relationship look like?

  • Respecting each other
  • Having similar values and beliefs but they don't have to be exactly the same either
  • You both feel like you're appreciated and not being judged
  • Fun and enjoyable

I'm good thanks @j95, yeah it should be alright!

 

What does your ideal relationship look like?

 

Lots of fun and laughing, but also one that allows me plenty of time to do my own thing.  Also judgement free
