When you are dating unless it’s a fuck yes, it should be a no.
You should have standards, yes.
But fuck yes does not mean 100% compatible and perfect person and zero conflicts.
It’s the ratio.
There is no such thing as 100% compatibility and a perfect person.
Conflicts are inevitable.
When you find someone good whom you connect with.
Focus on building a foundation.
If the foundation is strong.
Your house will sustain floods, thunderstorms, hurricanes and earthquakes.
Also,
When there are misunderstandings.
Drop your ego and fight for it.
Usually when there are misunderstandings.
One person becomes indecisive and starts to step back.
Misunderstandings usually arise because the person might think that you made a decision that suggests you don’t love them the way they expected or various other reasons.
It’s important when this happens.
You should not show ego and hurt them.
The person is more important than the problem.
You should drop your ego and fight for the person and try to clear the misunderstandings.
Don’t give them more of what they don’t appreciate because it will only make them pull away further.
Make sure you have a strong connection before you fight for it.
Remember the Dobler-Dahmer theory.
This is how I function.
When I love someone, I love them unconditionally.
