The most value in your post IMO is that you advise readers to at least think and talk about those points. That's always a good idea.

My point of view on relationships is that we choose them unconsciously. I guess to learn something from them, even if things go sour. I met quite some fantastic women over the years, and even if a relationship wouldn't have worked for us, I'm deeply grateful for having been with them, and sharing what we shared. I like to kind of just jump into relationships, see what happens without thinking it all out in advance, it's more an exciting adventure than a business contract to me. I'm a romantic at heart, I fear.
spirit4711,
Nothing wrong with jumping into relationships and seeing what happens. My point was merely that if you're going to let the relationship develop and ultimately enter into a long-term commitment, thinking with your head as well as your heart about how the relationship will run gives it a better chance to survive and flourish long-term. Thanks for giving the post a read and your comment!
