9 Things To Ask Yourself Before Starting A Relationship

Last Updated on January 27, 2021

7. Are they going to appreciate me?

Since you have to ask yourself about how ready you are to incorporate your partner into your everyday life, you should also ask yourself or try to understand whether they’re doing the same with you. Do they show excitement about a potential relationship? Are they constantly talking about introducing you to their friends or even family? These are all things you can understand by the way they treat you, talk to you, and of course, their attitudes.

8. Do I see a future?

Do you see a long-lasting relationship with this person? Or are you just looking for some company? It is not that the second option is wrong, but if you’re only looking for something casual, you should make sure the other person knows it and is on board with it. If you like this person and you can see good relationship compatibility between you two, then that’s enough reason for you to at least try to take that step. You don’t have to agree on having babies right away, but you should both be looking at this relationship in the present but with perspective for the near future.

9. Do I want to be in a relationship?

Media, family, friends, and overall peer and social pressure can make you feel like you need to be in a relationship, get married, have kids, and that’s it. In reality, it’s your life, and you can and should do whatever you want with it. A relationship can be a great thing to experience and rely on, but being independent and casual dating now and then is also a valid option. Ultimately you should opt for what feels best for you. And what feels good today may feel bad tomorrow. We’re always changing, so if you don’t feel like you’re the relationship type, that doesn’t mean you can’t have a happy relationship ever. Timing is everything! You should consider a lot of things when saying, “I do” to your new relationship. The main thing is trust and good communication. Without these two, you have nothing. Then you should consider common goals, attraction, emotional balance, and of course, your heart. Deep down, your heart has all the answers. Our head is the one to mess with these answers making us even more confused. In any case, you can’t go wrong with your heart and intuition. So bet on it!
