Attration. That's where it all begins. Whether it was caused by your friend about how great some guy was, the way this random guy seemed to handle himself as he entered the room, or just the unexplainable. Something about him just seemed...right? Either way it happens I would assume that it starts off something like this.
First, you find a way to conversant with him whether it be one of the possible three. One, you have a friend go up and ask about you because you're kind of shy to do it yourself. Two, you don't tell your friends about him, so you just keep eyeing him from across the room hoping that he'll read your signs and make a move himself. Or three, you just go up and talk to him yourself. You know what they say, men love confidence.
Now, after your conversations gets to going you find yourself interested. He makes you laugh, smile, and even open up a little to him. Soon enough it's time for you to go and you're stuck there wondering where did the time go? He flashes you a cute smile, secretly not wanting you to go, so he asks for your number. Your heart flutters, but you keep your cool. You flash him a smile back and with a quick touch of your fingers your number is dialed into his phone.
Soon enough you find yourself talking to him a lot throughout your day. Either by talking or texting or through e-mail. You try to talk about as much things as possible like what's your latest excitement in life when really he had no idea, that he is. You really start wanting to get into his feelings, thoughts and ideas, and he lets you. Once that happens you find yourself smiling whenever that appealing picture he sent you pops up on your cellphone screen. Almost immediately you that "spark" that you had when you first met feels like its turned into a blaze and you almost have to pull yourself back into reality. This is way more than a friendship.
In the next few weeks you start spending more time with him. You go out, you have fun, you're happy. You are drawn to him like a moth to a light and you almost feel comfortable being vulnerable around him, but you try not to be. You think to yourself "lets go slow" because in your mind the tendency to verbalize your feelings would most likely just push him away. So you sit back, try to play it cool and keep him interested, OR you verbalize your feelings anyways. And in time, a relationship begins.
I'm here to find out why. I am surrounded by relationships daily that have all started in numerous ways. I'm here to tell their stories. I want to find out what exactly attratced them and how they responded towards one another. Every relationships is different. I'm just simple here to point out why.

I wonder what the effect of the mass electronic communication will have on relationships. It's easier to text the girl and ask her to the formal then walking up to her at the locker. It is easier to text the boy telling him about wanting to break up with him. Are relationship becoming artificial?
ReplyDeleteWow! I think that you are dead on with how a relationship starts and all the feelings that are involved before, during, and after the relationship begins! I can write a quick over view of how mine started. I met him through the school musical play, Aida. About two weeks in I started noticing him and his personality and well, it got to me! I wouldn't ever talk to him, but I would give him sly comments like, "Hey, I heard you sing really good. I can't wait to hear!" Then I would skip away without waiting for a response. I was mysterious to him and I was already in love with the idea of him! But, long story short, we became friends through other friends and began to hang out in groups every weekend. Every day that passed we just grew closer and closer until one day he decided that we tie the knot and WHA LA! We are together! I hope that gives a unique insight on how relationships start!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was reading this I noticed that everything you described was true. I think for me and a lot of other girls/boys personality sticks out the most. If a guy has no personality then he wouldn't be fun to hang out with or even worth talking to. I can't wait to read more of your blogs.
ReplyDeleteWow.. relationships are a fun but messy type deal if you really think about it. No matter how they start, they are always so fun. Most of the time. People start relationships in the weirdest ways. Now that i read your blog it had me thinking about certain peoples relationships. Everyones is different, of course. But in todays society we look at the opposite sex right down to the core sometimes. Now, since we text so much, even if the person we like texts boring, doesn't say much or even talks to much it makes us turn away. No matter what though, in every relationship there are flaws. Plenty of them too. So what is it that keeps these couples together?
