In this post Cara shares a little insight on how you can be successful with dating online when you're not getting what you need. Many times this may mean parting ways. Please take a moment to read today's guest post. Enjoy!
"I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, that the best part about meeting people through dating services is the opportunity to meet people you normally wouldn’t meet. The two of you decide to meet because something about each other’s profile made you want to reach out and get to know the other person better. But relationships take a lot of work…that’s no secret. And if you do meet someone through a dating service, you want to be sure that you have compatible goals in mind before venturing forward. If you want one thing and he wants another, it will make for some awkward, uncomfortable and potentially hurtful times ahead.
I have a friend who is a very affectionate and giving person. It’s just who she is. She’s always been that way with her family, friends and of course the men in her life. As much as she’s a giver, she also likes to have the object of her affection reciprocate from time to time. Who doesn’t want their show of love returned? My friend recently met a man through a dating service and initially she seemed to have found the man of her dreams. After a few months however, it seemed cleared that she needed him to be more affectionate. She needed more attention and time from him and it was apparent that he was not comfortable with that. He cared deeply for her, but she wanted more than he was able to give her, and unfortunately they parted ways.
My friend did not believe she was asking for a lot when it came to give and take. And that is, after all, what a relationship is all about—give and take. Her dating services partner was only able to give so much. It was just who he was. It didn’t make him a bad person, but it did make the two of them incompatible. If you find yourself in a similar situation, the first thing you need to do is have a clear-cut discussion with your partner. Discover together whether or not your needs are being met. Perhaps what you need seems to be over-the-top, and you need to compromise a bit more in order to allow the relationship to move forward.
Relationships depend upon compromise and communication in order to grow. If you are not able to do either one of those things with your partner, chances are the relationship will flounder and be unsuccessful. If you are able to discuss things rationally with your partner, you may find that there are some things he or she are just not willing or able to contribute to the partnership. These are issues you cannot always anticipate, and it is one of the many things that make relationships difficult. Hopefully, you will be successful in finding a compatible dating services partner, and the two of you can nurture the relationship together and find happiness in the long-term."
