7. Getting Too Serious Too Fast
The vision is in your head of the perfect home life with your new love. You have a nice home, kids, the white picket fence, the pure bred golden retriever and life is just wonderful. The only problem is, you’re not quite there yet. People are so quick to rush things in a new relationship that before you know it, they’re having the “things are moving too fast” talk. Sure, it’s exciting to finally be with someone you can see yourself having a stable future with, but hold off on the monogrammed hand-towels and let some time pass first. Ask yourself why you are speeding things up so soon. Is it because you really like the person or you just want to lock things down? Fast forwarding a relationship can enforce pressure onto your partner which can cause problems in the future if things were rushed too quickly. Slow down the pace a little and enjoy the relationship milestones as they come. Letting things happen naturally is always such a better feeling than a forced situation that isn’t so genuine.
