Empowering Women Since 2002
"The experience makes us feel completely alive, where every sense is heightened, and every emotion is magnified. Our everyday reality is shattered and we are flying into the heavens. It may only last a moment, an hour, or an afternoon, but that doesn't diminish its value, because we are left with memories that we treasure for the rest of our lives"..
*Taken from the film the Mirror has two faces starring Barbara Streisand* A poignant and amazingly true portrayal of how love, being in love, falling in love is sometimes not how we imagine it to be, yet when we are in it, in it's grasp can turn our world upside and be the most magical experience of our lives.
Anyone who has felt love will recognize the strong emotions tied to the idea of chemistry. Chemistry can create feelings that are exciting and overwhelming, but it is mainly about physical attraction and does not include deeper elements like values and beliefs. Understanding chemistry is important when making significant decisions about love and relationships. While chemistry can start intense feelings, it may not be enough for a long-lasting relationship.
Physical attraction often happens within the first few seconds of meeting someone and does not necessarily mean love is present, even if some call it love at first sight. This attraction can lead to deeper feelings if other important factors for lasting relationships are also present. The chemical PEA, linked to romantic attraction, creates strong feelings when we feel that instant chemistry. Over time, spiritual bonding develops through regular contact, bringing feelings of calm and connection.
Successful relationships require physical attraction and spiritual bonding. It is essential not to rush major decisions based solely on chemistry but to wait and see if that initial spark leads to greater understanding and shared goals. While early passion may fade, emotional connection can remain strong, requiring friendship, respect, and shared values for lasting love.
Many people believe they are good communicators, polite, well mannered, but that is often not true, especially if you have experienced being ghosted. In today's digital world, where we mainly communicate through screens using platforms like Facebook, Dating apps or WhatsApp, we have lost traditional communication skills and often do not show the same courtesy we would in face-to-face conversations. This lack of manners raises questions, so always think about how you communicate and how others communicate with you, as this shows how they will act within a relationship.
Consider online dating, where miscommunication happens and can be frustrating. However, when messages suddenly stop, people automatically wonder why. While it seems clear that the other person has chosen not to respond, this realization often comes only after much reflection with your time being wasted in the process. Good communication is essential, especially after having exchanged messages that seemed positive. If someone suddenly stops communicating without explanation after such interactions, it shows a lack of respect and emotional maturity.
The anonymity of online communication can lead to a loss of basic decency, but it shouldn't. People begin to disregard others more easily, which harms their ability to communicate well in relationships. When evaluating how to handle a situation after some time spent messaging someone, how you choose to communicate reveals much about your character. Regardless of how someone communicates with you, never allow their poor disrespectful approach to alter your clear communication style. Good dating manners are crucial for every relationship to succeed, as disappearing without explanation , polite consideration is a pattern of behavior that will carry over into real life.
Have you ever vanished from an interaction? If so, consider why it was hard to explain your change of heart. How you respond to greetings or invitations from others reflect your relationship style over time, and those who avoid uncomfortable situations are less likely to communicate openly in relationships. Text messaging contributes to this lack of warmth a lot of the time, so think about people's response time to you, yours to them, never use it as a way to play hard to get, as this will backfire if someone is genuine and can indicate someone who is not genuine themselves. Be honest and considerate to build trust and a solid communication style in relationships.
