Dating
Relationships Fail because...you could probably
answer this question without an expert based upon your personal
experience. You meet what appears to be the love of your life forever.
What happens? As I look back on a few, I’m still trying to
remember why didn’t we make it? In a way, I’m kind
of glad.
Some of those relationships were not goodfor me.
I remember dating
this guy who was married and separated
from his wife. I thought I was the one. One day I was in his house,
closed up in his bedroom when some woman came in with a key, a knife
and tears. Obviously, broken up over what she had encountered. She took
my car keys and tossed them outside in his yard.
God was with me
that day, as I convinced her that I did
not know they were involved. She showed me her engagement ring. I
thought, “What a scoundrel!” That made me feel even
worse.
I told her if she help me find my keys she would never have to worry
about me again.
She did, and I am
alive to tell the story. What about
you, have you had anything like this happen to you? You will have an
opportunity to tell us about it at the end of this article.
Dating is the one
human connection where two people come
together with unspoken great expectations, leaving the relationship to
chance. Maybe that's why some dating relationships fail, left to chance
not choice.
Here are my 6
Relationship Myths:
Myth No. 1:
Dating influenced
by Hollywood/Movie examples: boy meets
girl, go out on a few dates, gifts, dinner, dancing and she is swept
off of her feet and in love happens only in Hollywood. This will go no
where.
Myth No. 2:
Women who think men
find them more appealing when he
asks all of the questions and she gives him answers. That’s
call
hanging out the man pleaser banner.
Myth No.3:
Thinking you can
enter the dating game without rules,
lacking purpose and unsure of what you want, will get you what you
don’t want. Myth No. 4:
You can change a
person once they get closer to you. The
only person you can change is you. If people change to be what someone
else wants them, then they will not be happy.
Myth No. 5:
Lie, pretend, come clean after the relationship gets committed, all
will be forgiven. Maybe, maybe not. Some people hate liars. That could
be the most unforgivable thing you can do. Don’t chance it!
