Dating PTSD- (9/11/2008)

Starting a new relationship can be wonderful! Starting a new relationship can be exciting and give you butterflies in your stomach. Starting a new relationship can also be frustrating and have you on edge.

I think the hardest part I've found in starting a new relationship is learning how the person operates. It can be burdensome to have to learn what makes a person tick especially if the person isn't open with you, themselves, and you have to spend the entire time doing guess work. I just wish that the person you were dating or in a relationship with came with an instruction manual.

I think that's why I made the decision to no longer be apart of drive by dating or dating just to be dating people. I want to date with a purpose and not have to spend time guessing what makes a person angry, what annoys them, when they need their space, when they are playing or when they are serious, what makes them do the things they do, and if they are interested in learning about you.

I think we should just tell people this once we reach a higher level in the relationship, but I guess that wouldn't be fun. LOL

I was passing through and I found this post. I think that learning how a person operates is the best part of a relationship. It is a challenge, but that is what makes the challenge worth fighting for.
