3. No breathing down the back of each other’s necks.
This is the time in which you both are earning each other’s trust. Yes, it’s a risk. But it’s a risk you have to take if you ever plan on having a quality relationship.
Make sure he knows your boundaries. Let him know you don’t want to date other people while you’re dating him. And let him know you would like the same in return. And then ask him what he wants. If he expresses he wants the same as you, let him earn your trust in this. Give him a chance to show who and what he really is. You cannot force someone into a cubby they don’t belong in. Find out if this relationship fits. Step back and watch it blossom into the flower it’s going to be.
