Now I think I understand why I'm single. And I start doubting more and more about that. But what can I do? I need this commitment. I can't be the only person, who invests all the time, nerves and feelings in the relationship, while receiving a dry yes on the other side. While if it's on the other end, it feels like the girls are either suffocating me with their vision of love or want to be the leader in a controlling relationship. (Or both) Why should I be the only one to compromise? Why should I be the only one to push ahead? Why should I give money for this person if I have no commitment guaranteed?
With my fiancee none of it was like that! It was all about commitment in the first month even. I don't know why it all happened so fast, but I understood in the end. It was just that in the third month she found out she had cancer and was scared she might die before even having a chance to marry. And she did die, but at least we got to being engaged before it happened. I know I shouldn't compare relationships to that and other women to her, but I at least want to have a similar life to what we wanted to have with her.

I'm currently in the honeymoon phase with my new partner
We have a long distance relationship and unfortunately we both are in a stage of life where we have to decide what our future is going to look like
He'll finish his education soon and I will start studying by the end of this year
We both want to live closer together so I'll apply to a university in his neighbor town
But because of this hormone cocktail it's hard to decide whether that would be the right decision
We're not close to having a stable relationship and I think we still have to learn a lot about each other
I have the idea to find a shared apartment with new people there so we could see each other more often but I'm not relying on him what do you think?

The main thing about a relationship to stay forever is having trust and comfortable. as they should be like our best friend. staying with us with all ups and downs. happiness sadness everything. should understand each others situation. should open up every single thing happens in day to day life. in my opinion in the end of the day we should create a talk with your partner where you can share everything as well as they can share and should relief if they are in pain. love each other unconditionally. no cheatings. if he or she doesn't understands your point try to make them understand or leave. if a relationship is toxic you should leave. because we live only once and we should live happily each and every moment. thank you

Me and my boyfriend have been attracted/ liked each other for around 3 years but have only been dating for around a year and 4 months. This is because of a lot of personal things that were happening throughout the years. But as soon as we got together it was fast and it felt like we were together far longer then we actually are. From an outsiders perspective of our relationship I can understand some people might see it as us rushing or skipping steps. I feel like since our process of getting together was pretty unique that we kinda have our own stages. This video was still super cute though!

I dont really have dating experience, but I feel like I get many of the doubts out of the way from the beginning, like from the start I am envisioning if this person could be a long term partner or not. For me, its a terrible feeling to break things off with someone when feelings are involved so I would rather not go far past the talking phase if I realize it probably wont work. So Im not sure if the doubting phase would come that late into the relationship for me, like in this video. But what do I know? Maybe. Stuff could happen later on that shakes you

Mr
the 7th stage/doubting phase is kinda accurate for me tho, for the both of us. i or maybe we (me and my partner) can relate to that literally right now. but sometimes it can be a turntable meaning you will sometimes doubt your own doubts if you know what i mean. and i think that's the key if you still want to continue the story or just end it there. we've been together for 3 and more years and now that i think about it, it's kinda sad not having the both of us to even talk it out. we just agreed and took our separate paths.

Me and my bf have been dating for almost 7 and were only in 7th grade but weve liked each other since 5th grade we used to be really good friends then at the end of 6th he developed strong feelings for me and I could tell but I had a bf at the time and I didnt wanna hurt him and a couple months after summer I broke up with my bf and I realized I had feelings for my friend and when we went back to school he finally asked me to be his gf and Ive never felt so loved. How long do think this will last?

Sigh. I wish I could make it to any of those last half stages.
Instead, it's just me being attracted, then going through doubts, then taking a chance and getting rejected. Repeat.
I am 27 years old and I am at the point where I can't face any more rejection. I am worried that giving up will mean I won't ever get my dream, but man, I am so messed inside from all the constant rejection that I just need a break and learn how to accept myself and like myself.

Well, I met I guy (not in person yet, I was moving to another house and he was handling some family issues); but every day we are updating about each other and you know when there's something different with one person? THAT is what we feel, we are open too whatever happens but we are very interested on our emotional support and of course meeting each other in person this week, finally!
Let's see what happens

Im sorry but I dont believe this. There is not stages of dating. Stop scaring people. There is no right or wrong way to date. If it doesnt work out then its not meant to be. Dating is a game. You have to play it how you want. Stop being scared of people leaving you! Dating is finding what you want. Eventually you will find exactly what you want.

My boyfriend and I are half in the honeymoon phase and doubting phase. we understand and see reality for what it is but are still most definitely in love with each other. Of course make or breaks come up but communication is crucial. I'd also appreciate it if you would include LGBTQIA2S+ couples in your videos, as not everyone's hetero! Thanks!

I recently went on a few dates with a guy I had a crush on. He was always very attentive, romantic and kind when meeting, but he unfortunately slowly started to take his distances from me because he hadn't caught any feelings (got to know that from a friend, and. that broke me. I still don't know to this day what exactly happened in his mind.

1 thing that you got wrong in my opinion is the doubt stage, that stage is also the power struggle stage and it can be repeatable meaning even if you pass it if you come back to doubts or power struggle fights you will go back to that stage. Happened to me and my mrs few times

okay so me and my bf went completely out of order:
attraction
seduction
learning about them
actually going on a date
building comfort and trust
the honeymoon phase
the doubting phase is sprinkled in here and there but we talk and get through it

Lol in my experience these steps are way out of whack, usually ending in a girl wanting to learn about me forever. as a friend only.

What if you skip stages? Does that mean the relationship doesn't have a chance? Can you maybe catch up on previous stages?
