What is the best mindset to have before going into a relationship?

Not everything you see is reality. Be ready for surprises
Not everything you experience initially is going to last forever. Accept that there are stages and you need to pass through them. You can’t get stuck in one stage forever
Be open to adapt but don’t get influenced
Have some boundaries or you will feel suffocated to deathwine wine

your opinion is much appreciatedwave thumbs up daydream

You are living on Christmas Island. Will it be called New Years Island tomorrow?confused

To your question, the mindset one ought to have if one is realistic is that you will start off with a phony heaven and finish with a reality hell.......All your love is in vain.
Hey North
wave hmmm what an dea u havelaugh
A mindset of confidence based on a deep understanding of yourself and what you can bring to the relationship.
In that way you are focusing on your strengths and the positive impact that you can have on that persons life.

cheers
Be ready for disappointment. Yeah I know somebody is going to say that's a negative attitude. YUP, it is. If you've been down the road I traveled you might have the same attitude.

Now I don't expect a miracle. If it doesn't work out I can dump him the same as he can dump me.

Be prepared for the dump laugh
Hola secretwave
I agree.We had our fair share of moments in our lives ,different road we pass and until
one pass by only then that one can understandthumbs up
Hello YSA,

I would think that going into a fresh relationship with the pain of the previous one taken care of would benefit both one's self and your new partner.

Remember, you new partner is not your old partner.

I think the most important thing is soul search and find out if you are ready.

Relationships are not easy. They need time, commitment and effort, lots of effort to make them work.

All the best if you are going into one.

YSA, do you think there would be a test drive stage ? you wouldn't buy a car without test driving it right, so the test drive of a new partner is pretty important.. this is where it will make or break it, you can only learn so much about a person just through talking to them.. going out on a date people will always be on their best behaviour and are out to impress, but whats a person really like when their backed into a corner or you are both backed in a corner.. have they got your back or will they leave you to find your own way, then come back when the storm has passed..
Mr sparton, I have being saying this for a long time to women on my threads, but I don't get the positive reaction...you got on this blog and they won't admit It is sound adviceconfused
It may be better to expect the worst, and then perhaps be at least somewhat pleasantly surprised,
than to expect things to be good and subsequently be disappointed. laugh
