Dating

This week I learned new things about relationships that I have not though about before. The most interesting thing that stuck out to me was the Relationship Attachment Model. It is basically the way people should go about doing things in their relationships to stay safe and to effectively learn about each other. The order of "operation" is to first know the person, trust them, rely on them, be committed to them, and then touching is allowed. You should know someone more than you trust them and you should trust them more than you rely on them and so on and so forth. Touching should be the least of them all. This is important in good relationships because I think the mental part is more important than physical satisfaction. You should be able to talk with them even before you start kissing and all that other stuff. Something I thought was cute that was said was, "there is no such thing as falling in love. Falling usually leads to injuries." We don't just fall for people. We get to know them and love them for the people that they are. At least that is how it should be. I also learned that dating has three p's. Dating should be planned, paid, and paired off. Otherwise it is just hanging out. There are also four steps to relationships. Dating, Courtship, Engagement, and Marriage. I think this is critcal to good relationships because people now days don't go through that process in the right order and things can get messed up that way. This class has really shown me not only that the world is losing it's morals but how and what ways that they are losing them.
