Psych-Quotes: How To Take A Friendship To The Next Level

psych-quotes:

Do you like your friend as more than just a friend? Ready to take it to the next level and start a romantic relationship? Here are tips on how to make the transition smooth:

 

·        Take it slow. Even if you’re best friends and know each other inside and out there’s no need to rush into a super close romantic relationship. Start slow just as you would if you were dating a stranger. Taking your time will ensure that neither of you feel rushed or pressured.

·        Don’t spend every second together. Even if you usually hang out all the time, make sure you take time for yourself and other activities. This will prevent you from taking things too fast and burning out too soon.

·        Be yourself. You might feel a bit awkward at first when turning a friendship into a romantic relationship but it’s important to just be yourself. Don’t feel like you need to put on a different personality around him or her just because you’re dating. They like you for you, so stay that way.

Everyone who terrifies you is sixty-five percent water.
And everyone you love is made of stardust, and I know sometimes
you cannot even breathe deeply, and
the night sky is no home, and
you have cried yourself to sleep enough times
that you are down to your last two percent, but

nothing is infinite,
not even loss.

You are made of the sea and the stars, and one day
you are going to find yourself again.

"And then one student said that happiness is what happens when you go to bed on the hottest night of the summer, a night so hot you can’t even wear a tee-shirt and you sleep on top of the sheets instead of under them, although try to sleep is probably more accurate. And then at some point late, late, late at night, say just a bit before dawn, the heat finally breaks and the night turns into cool and when you briefly wake up, you notice that you’re almost chilly, and in your groggy, half-consciousness, you reach over and pull the sheet around you and just that flimsy sheet makes it warm enough and you drift back off into a deep sleep. And it’s that reaching, that gesture, that reflex we have to pull what’s warm - whether it’s something or someone - toward us, that feeling we get when we do that, that feeling of being sad in the world and ready for sleep, that’s happiness."
