More than ever, we are not allowing ourselves to enjoy the beauty and progression of life as it was intended. There is a clear distinction between friendship, relationship, engagement, and marriage. But it seems like the world is trying to blur those lines, so it can make things easier for itself, when in all reality, it makes a (excuse my language) shitty mess.
If you are going into a friendship, with the intentions of getting to know that person with the possibility of a relationship, I think it's fare to let them know. The guessing game gets old. And it can ruin something that truly could have been a beautiful, friends only, relationship, if two people are on different pages. Be up front. Be honest. Don't leave someone dangling on a string.
If you are scared of commitment and just want the excitement and pleasures of having someone in your life to hold hands with and kiss, and dot dot dot, then you sure as heck should not be going near anyone in that manner. Suck it up. Find pleasure in a career or sport or hobby of some sort, but don't take out your weaknesses and human desires on someone else who wants more.
One of the greatest things about starting a relationship is the excitement! The butterflies! The surprises and figuring out who one another is! And saving certain aspects of yourself, and setting them aside for the progression of an engagement only makes the future more exciting. Same with stocking up emotions and desires for the excitement of marriage.
STOP PLAYING GAMES
FOCUS ON ONE POINT AT A TIME
ENJOY LINES
AND LOOK FORWARD TO CROSSING THEM WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT
