Stages Of Young Love

Youth dating is something that each blossoming person definitely has to experience. The thrill of many firsts establishes the kind of outlook the person will hold onto for the rest of his or her life. In the earlier years, meeting the potential beloved is confined through the opportunities made possible through the schools, community, and family. But with the emergence of technologies that bridge time and space (and cheat both, in a way), finding someone to date is simply getting faster.
But no matter what the means are, youth dating still goes through the same stages as any dating that happened years ago. The caution in every part of the journey is still the same in principle, although the contingencies adjust to the context. Caution, we say, because the youth have the tendency to give everything up for the idea of a romantic love, stemming from their adherence to happily ever afters. Dating is simply a time for calculated risks.
Taking a breath away. Whether it happens in person or through networking sites, the first stage in any dating game is that moment when someone steals a part of another’s consciousness, and captures an untapped feeling. Some would call it love at first sight, but that is seldom given the benefit of the doubt these days. Then the exchange of contact details would happen, and some first chitchats happen.
Getting to know you. This is the time when both young individuals learn more about each other through dating. Sometimes this occurs as the friendship stage, while others would court the beloved right away. The ups and downs of dating comes in this stage since young daters try to find the balance between learning about the self and the other person. It is to be expected that young daters would feel a little high in this moment, and would tend to go the extra mile for each other even without the formal relationship. There is no advisable length of time on the getting to know you stage. It happens for as long as the young daters do not feel they are ready for the relationship yet.
It is also during the getting to know you stage that each person is introduced to the set of friends and trusted loved ones of each other. It is a part of knowing the person and welcoming him or her into one’s life. The issues that arise here are acceptance and compatibility, since most young people associate their identities with their friends. The more liked a person is with the another’s set of friends, the easier the dating becomes. Daters find a way to balance their social life and their time with the person they are dating.
The big leap. When the young couples find themselves ready to formalize their attraction and to be officially committed in dating each other, that is when dating becomes a relationship. This is the most awaited moment for both couples, as they would always remember “how they began”. When the dating becomes a relationship, a new chapter begins – new forms of happiness, new troubles, new adjustments. It is also a step when young people start to grow up, and finally mature as individuals.

What’s Really Going On When It Comes To Guys Dating Women That They Fancy
Have you ever seen a guy in love? To be honest, it is actually a funny thing to watch when guys get all dreamy eyed and lovey dovey over the woman that they fancy. In spite of the macho exterior, when it comes to someone that they really, truly like, guys practically turn into lovesick stalkers who will do anything just to get closer to the apple of their eye.
This especially holds true when the guy does not personally know the girl yet – as well as if they do not have a direct way of meeting her, they will go all stalker like to try to “investigate” on the girl. They will try to find out where she is studying or working at, where she lives, who her friends are, her daily schedule, her favorite color, her favorite ice cream flavor, and most importantly if she already has a boyfriend or (gasp) if she is already married.
Once the coast is clear – meaning, the girl that they like is available to date, guys will then start to create a “plan of attack” starting with how to get the girl of their dreams to notice them down to where they will be taking her for their first date. This sounds terribly childish and pathetic but don’t you think it’s actually kind of cute? That they will totally go out of their way just to show a girl how much they like her?
If the guy is painfully shy, trying to get the girl that he likes can prove to be quite a challenge but if he is really determined in meeting the girl and showing her his true intentions, you might be surprised at how can that give his confidence a big boost.
So what are the things that you should expect when it comes to guys dating a woman that they are really into? Well there are pros and cons obviously so let’s start with the pros:
• He’s more attentive: while guys dating women are normally attentive, they tend to even be more attentive when they are with a girl that they have been seriously crushing on for some time now. They will tend to notice every little thing – from how cute she looks wearing a skirt to how adorable she is while eating sushi. This in turn will also show how much he truly cares for the girl as he will be always looking out for her best interests.
• He treats the girl with respect: while most guys claim that they are always respectful towards girls – even those that they are not courting, the girl that they are dating of course gets special treatment and they are always careful not to seem disrespectful or impolite towards her.
And for the con’s of guys dating a woman that they are head over heels for:
• He’s always trying to impress her: while it is perfectly ok and normal for anyone to want to impress the object of their affection, some people tend to overdo it, especially guys as they tend to create little white lies or exaggerate a few things just so they could impress the girl that they fancy. Everyone knows that the foundation of a good relationship can never be of lies so if you are dating someone, make sure that the two of you stay true to yourselves and to each other.
• He always thinks about her: most people considers this as a good thing as well as of course very flattering but there are actually some times when this can be considered more of a disadvantage as they guy cannot concentrate anymore on his studies, on his work, and other commitments. He gets easily distracted with the thought of the girl he’s interested in sometimes even committing honest mistakes as he can’t seem to get his focus.

The Truth Behind Heterosexual Love
Boy meets girl. Boy finds girl pretty. Girl finds boy cute. The two start to flirt then they exchange phone numbers, IM screen names, and e-mails. They talk on the phone until the wee hours of the morning, they decide to go out on a date next weekend. They spend the whole day together just talking, talking, talking and having a great time. Then when it is time to bid each other goodnight, boy kisses girl on the lips, girl gets all giddy and excited – end of story? Of course not, when it comes to heterosexual love in spite of being the norm, compared to gay relationships where you either find two guys dating or a couple of females dating, falling in love with a person from the opposite sex is still as complicated – and exciting just like in any other relationship.
The initial step is course the “get to know yous” here boy and girl will finally get to meet, either by accident or through common friends, relatives etc. Just like any other relationship, this is the most common way that heterosexual love begins. While some people resort to meeting online through networking websites, chatting or through e-mails, most people still prefer to meet potential mates the traditional way and that is to meet them personally so that they will also get to know them better on a more intimate level. While you may consider penpals dating as something that can be considered as an intimate relationship already – as they are having a correspondence about not just about their lives but basically everything under the sun, there is still of course the possibility that your penpal is not completely being honest with you. While penpals dating do end up developing into heterosexual love they are still not immune for the many complications that will ensue once they start dating in real life.
Love is definitely a wonderful feeling and when it comes to heterosexual love, the most wonderful thing about it is that you need not worry about people raising an eyebrow on your relationship or making you feel bad about loving someone. While this is definitely unfair, it will probably still quite some time before people start to openly accept two guys dating or a couple of females dating. It is actually ironic that in spite of being in a free world, society still has a say on who we should or should not date. Yes it is frustrating that those who engage in heterosexual love are the only ones who are able to openly show off their relationship, they are the ones who can get married without question, and of course, they can easily start their own family without generating any controversy.
To be honest when it comes to heterosexual love back in the olden days, men were expected to provide for the family while the women stayed at home to keep everything in the house spic and span as well as to take care of the kids, but now as gender roles continue to shift in society, it does not really matter who wears in the pants anymore in any relationship, what’s important is that the people involved continue to grow together as two individuals brought together by love.
