The Reasons Dating Relationships Fail

Dating and relationships are two areas of our lives we seem to have trouble with.There are stages to a relationship. There is the dating relationship, then the boyfriend/girlfriend stage, then last is the serious relationship stage. The dating relationship stage is when you have been dating for a few weeks but hasn't progressed to exclusive status yet. Of course the boyfriend/girlfriend stage means that you are exclusive to each other, and the serious relationship stage is moving in together or in some cases; marriage.Some new dating relationships never make it to the exclusive stage and leave us to wonder what happened. Here are some clues to what may have went wrong.

The newness wears off:

The newness wears off. Like the old saying" the honeymoon is over". When something is new, it is fresh and exciting. It makes you giddy and light-headed. This is the happy period that everyone experiences with a new relationship. But sadly this newness wears off eventually. That is not to say that the relationship is over, no it just means that when this happens you have to work harder to keep things going. Relationships are about learning to work together.

Not having enough in common:

Sometimes in order to get someones attention, we pretend to like sports or whatever they like. That might be enough to get your foot in the door , but eventually they'll figure out that you really don't like Football, like you said you did. This is a common practice that girls use all the time to get a guy interested, but it's not good to be deceptive with someone. Because eventually when the relationship starts going south,you realize that you really don't have that much in common since you lied for their sake.

Being too clingy or emotionally needy:

This is a big problem with women.Guys are turned off by someone who clings. That means you can't go places without him, when out with your girlfriends you're texting him constantly wanting to know where he is and what he is doing. If someone is feeling smothered by too much attention, it's a natural to response to want get away from it. We get stressed about our everyday situations, dating and relationships can add to that stress.That's another reason someone may bolt. It requires too much time and energy they don't have to maintain a social life.

One makes more money than the other:

Yes, money seems to be an issue no matter what the situation. Guys sometimes find it intimidating to date a woman who makes a larger paycheck than they do. It may seem like a petty thing. Not all guys are affected by this, but some are.Men say they like a woman who is strong and independent, but they change their tune when they find out she makes more than they do. If so, then he's not the right guy for you anyway.

Lack of attraction or chemistry:

Initial attraction doesn't last long. You may consider them attractive in a general way, but they don't inspire those romantic feelings for you.Maybe there is no chemistry or spark of intimacy. Intimacy is a big part of a relationship, so if you aren't experiencing those feelings, then maybe this isn't the right person for you.

If your relationship fails due to some of these things, then it's a possibility that they just weren't right for you. Maybe the relationship failing is what you needed to move on to someone else who was a better match. You'd never know if you had stayed in the other relationship.Sometimes things happen for a good reason.
