Taking Love Slowly

The Importance Of Giving Love Time

 

The idea of ‘love at first sight’ is very appealing to most of us. That’s only natural – though it’s perhaps a little unrealistic in many situations. Perhaps that view of love is a little over simplified or even over romanticised. When it comes to two people sharing their lives with one another, there are many different facets and layers that have to come together in just the right way. It’s a very delicate balance and finding the perfect harmony, where both people know that this is the right thing for them, isn’t something that happens over night.

 

Actually giving love time to grow, at whatever pace might be right for you and your partner couldn’t be more important. Trying to rush into anything could easily make for a rocky relationship later on. It’s absolutely exhilarating to take chances and make big leaps in the name of romance, but there’s still a lot to be said for just taking your time.

 

It’s important of course, to realise that it’s okay if it’s your nature to take your time in relationships. If your partner or anyone else is pressuring you, perhaps they’re being a bit shortsighted. You will know when it’s right to take a relationship to the next level. Whether that’s deciding to become monogamous, move in together, get married, or even just something silly like ‘becoming Facebook official,’ you should never let anyone make you feel as if you’re somehow in the wrong for not doing so as soon as possible.

 

In reality, the absolute opposite is true. If you really like someone, it makes sense to take your time and let everything unfold naturally. There’s a lot to be said for the frustration of feeling you want to get more serious when the other person isn’t ready, but when it’s right you’ll know it. If you’re on the other side of this, just think about the understanding you would want from your partner if the tables were turned.

 

While some of the best love stories out there are of these explosive romances that seemed to bloom out of nowhere, there are just as many cautionary tales of a lot of relationships completely imploding because everything was rushed early on. If you take time to just enjoy where you are with your partner and actually consider things carefully before making any huge decisions about the future, you’ll likely go on to have a much more enriching relationship.
