So many singles are currently asking themselves the question, “how do I bring a relationship from something casual to that life long commitment?” The Panty Kickers have some hot tips on how to get serious with no bologna!
Carolyn says:
- Give yourself around 6 months to get to exclusive. 3 months for causal dating and 3 months of exclusive dating.
- At the end of 6 months be real about moving forward or not!
- Casual should be about connecting and initial chemistry. Exclusive should be like a “temp” period where you are really trying the relationship on for size.
Becca says:
- The Carlton: If you have something that you feel is a pressing part of who you are don’t wait too long to disclose.
- The Marc: Never, ever accept someone’s disrespect because you like them. If they aren’t giving you back 100% of what you’re giving them do not fight for that imbalance.
- The Cameron: Check in! Don’t be annoying about it, but don’t be afraid to ask how the person you are dating is feeling about where the relationship is going.
HOMEWORK: Interview your favorite couple, who you most admire, and ask them how they got from casual to exclusive to real. You may be surprised by what you find!
