I thought I would write about this topic because I am on the fence about it. I feel like people shouldn’t have expectations when it comes to dating and relationships and on the other hand I find myself expecting a lot more out my significant other when I am dating someone. For example I am ‘dating’ this guy for about a month. He is not that affectionate (I am the total opposite) and I think we have kissed maybe 3 or 4 times. Its weird and awkward for me and I would expect whomever I am with to be affectionate and wanna smother me when they see me? lol Is this too much to ask or do expectations like this ruin relationships?
Are expectations like standards or should we accept the person how they are? Sometimes when you have expectations and the person you are dating does something UNEXPECTED you can be pleasantly surprised. The last person I dated I felt like he had too many expectations of me and that’s part of what ruined our relationship and now I find myself doing the same to the person I am with now.
Should you change yourself to meet your mate’s expectations? I want whomever I am with to except me who I am 110% however why am I not willing to do the same. What are your thoughts?
