Modern-day dating is too complicated, as those engaged are always in a confused mode, constantly guessing, “What are we?” and where we are standing.

This unclear connection creates confusion, emotional ups and downs, and wondering whether it is correct or incorrect.

But despite this confusion, we bravely show off that everything is fine.

However, there is an emotional baggage there which is not allowing to take a step forward to come out of this confused state.

So clarity in your intentions and connections is necessary for a meaningful and fulfilling relationship.

To come out of this emotional rollercoaster, it is time to step out of situationship and head towards relationship.

Stay True – Know Your Non-Negotiables

The things that you cannot negotiate in a relationship are nice and they are necessary to have as they act as a base for your relationship.

It is like without a solid base a foundation cannot be built similarly without setting the boundaries beforehand a solid relationship cannot be built.

It is the same with dating as well, you should be clear what you need, it can be open communication, spending quality time together or having similar future goals.

You can make a list and this can guide you while you are dating.

Setting boundaries is very important as it helps you be real and help you earn respect from others.

It can be anything a last movement no for any plans if being considered matters to you.

It is very important to be upfront from the beginning if you are heading for a serious relationship like marriage.

There are situations where a lot of us get struck up, We love to hear what we want to hear and not what’s actually being said.

If one says Let’s just see what happens or He/She  is not looking for something serious, please believe them as they are real and honest with you

This is the best thing, don’t just try to convince yourself that you are the one who can change their mind.

Rather invest time in asking, real honest questions like

• How would an ideal relationship look like?
• Where do you see this relationship going?
• If you want a perfect match today, what are your expectations?

This will sound awkward but it is time-saving and saves you from getting emotionally drained out in case you do not find what you want in a relationship.
