aren’t thought of in a serious manner by your date. If a
dating relationship is to go to the next level, at some point you have to be
introduced to your date’s friends and family members.
You could have
met some friends and family however, even be invited to family gatherings and
still there could be trouble brewing for the quality of your dates. The danger
signs are in the reactions of family and friends when you are around. You have
to observe how comfortable they seem with you around. You need to assess if
their conversations are guarded or if they speak openly and freely when you are
present.
That’s because
your date, who isn’t so interested in you anymore, could tip them off that you
will be coming to a family event but that the dating relationship is headed
downhill nevertheless.
If you see
signs of a loss of interest from your date, tell him or her exactly what you
think and ask for honesty about the issue. That way you can hear exactly what
the situation is and even if it’s not what you want to hear, you can
nevertheless move on with certainty.
14. When Dating is at Standstill Status
A different
situation from when your dating experience may be losing interest, is when it’s
stationary, meaning that things aren’t progressing, they don’t seem to be going
anywhere. In that situation, dating is still going on but it isn’t flourishing.
That type of standstill status can be frustrating because while it may seem
like the dating situation is promising, there isn’t any progress being made in
the relationship or bond with your date.
