Proceed with caution?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
My best guy friend is probably the most cautious guy I know when it comes to relationships. I once watched him casually ask a girl out for two years before finally landing a first date. And after that first date, he took three more months to get to the second date and start a relationship with her! He even dated sparingly in college, ending up in only one true relationship before he graduated.
Other people I know are the polar opposite, exercising very little reserve when it comes to who they will or will not dive into a relationship with. One of my friends has had so many “boyfriends” in the past year that I can’t keep track of their names!
Are you cautious when it comes to dating/relationships? If so, are you intentionally restrained when getting to know someone, or is it some sort of defense mechanism because of previous experience? Is being cautious the same as being picky? If not, where is the line between the two?
If you’re not cautious, have you been burned by relationships you’ve entered to quickly?
Who do you think are more cautious — men or women — when it comes to starting a relationship?
