What He Wants When He Wants a Relationship

In the 20th Century:
A relationship is a step on the road to marriage.

In the 21st Century:
A relationship is whatever you decide it is.

Not everyone wants the same thing from a relationship.

One person may see a relationship as a testing ground for marriage.

Another person may see it as a temporary alliance for the purpose of having fun.

When a man asks you to be his girlfriend, you probably don’t take a step back and say: “But what do you MEAN by that?”

I’m not saying you should…

But before agreeing to anything, it pays to know what you’re getting into.

Questions to consider:

• What are you agreeing to when you’re agreeing to a relationship?
• Do you think he would give the same answer?
• How might it feel to talk about it?
