Well, according to this study it takes an average of 224 tweets, 163 text messages, 70 Facebook messages, 37 emails, and 30 phone calls for a couple to fall in love. Of course, not every young couple will utilize all of the above methods of contact, but it’s amazing how much social media has infiltrated our lives.
Have any thoughts on the results of the study? Do you think the results would differ greatly in the U.S? Leave your comments below or start a conversation with us on our Facebook or Twitter pages.
Part of being in a new relationship is learning about the other person and what they are comfortable with. A lot of it is simply a matter of feeling each other out over time, but some issues might actually need a conversation. One of these areas is the establishment of boundaries for this growing relationship. Maybe you aren’t comfortable with having him over too late at night because you don’t want it to turn out to be an excuse for him to stay over so early in the relationship. Or maybe you aren’t comfortable yet with something that he seems to be ready for. In a new relationship it is ok to set boundaries, but how can you talk about these things without the situation becoming awkward?
Be Honest
When establishing boundaries, you have to be honest with the other person. If you are not comfortable with something, this is the time to let them know. The relationship is new and it is a learning experience. You cannot expect them to know what you’re ok with right away. You have to help them along. If you have a problem with something, simply let them know as soon as possible. Being honest with each other is the only way to help the relationship grow in the right direction.
Be Clear
In addition to being honest, you have to be clear with this person. When talking about something that makes you uncomfortable, try not to be vague or beat around the bush about the issue. Be as clear as possible so there is no miscommunication. That might only cause problems later on in the relationship. You just want to make sure that they know exactly what you are talking about and exactly how you feel about it. Relationships should not be a guessing game. You should be able to talk about issues straight up without any ambiguity.
