It can be exciting and frustrating to be getting to know someone who is boyfriend/girlfriend material. You appreciate learning about what makes each other tick. Yet there is also a lot of uncertainty. You’re afraid you’ll say or do anything that will make them think you’re a big oddball. But, there are techniques to reduce the chances of saying or doing anything that may end the relationship before it really begins. Here are 11 things to avoid early on in a relationship.
1- Acting too needy/clingy
It’s natural to want to spend as much time as possible with someone at the start of a relationship. The sentiment is most likely mutual. So don’t be jealous or angry if he/she wants to go to their book group every Tuesday evening or enjoy a coffee with a friend without you going along. As your relationship develops, they will be more inclined to include you in their larger social life, including meeting their closest friends. At the same time, it’s critical that you both have separate lives outside of your partnership.
