Easy isn’t always a bad thing

Most “mature” relationships tend to get complicated all too quickly. Heading into your late-twenties and beyond, people simply have more baggage, criteria, expectations, lists and agendas …which leaves no room for the easy ride simplicity -and dare I say- “ignorance” usually offers. Knowledge lends itself to a heightened awareness which can sometimes blow because it’s like you ruin your own surprise party simply because not a lot can get past you. Ignorance is bliss that’s for damn sure.

Returning from whence you came can, on occasion, be your wisest choice of action. The innocence of youth can bring with it a fun filled dating experience. Let’s face it, when serious issues arise too quickly it puts a damper on the enjoyment factor of dating. Granted you want to be on the same page, heading in the same direction, but I think far too often people try to attack serious topics before they’ve had a chance to enjoy the person instead of delving straight into the package (so to speak).

Enduring expectations is something which is more likely to happen after two people have invested enough time to care. Presenting your expectations prematurely will most definitely take all the fun out of the getting-to-know-you process. Ease up and try the easy route to happy …you might be surprised at how returning to simplicity just may be the secret to relationship success.
