Relationships: Last the Duration Nov. 7, 2011, 4:19 p.m.

Starting a new relationship fills you with excitement and anticipation. Butterflies form in the pit of your stomach whenever you think about or see your new partner. London escorts know that new relationships can be exciting. They give you a rush, sending your hormones into a spin. You do all you can to impress her, taking her out, buying her gifts and wooing her. You consider her as being the best thing in your life and want to be with her all the time. You think about her most of the day and send one another gooey messages. Completely smitten. At it like rabbits, spending all your free time with one another, the initial rush of a relationship can be exhilarating when you can’t keep your hands off each other. The honeymoon period of a relationship is beneficial to you, but you can end up neglecting the other things in your life that matter. Work and relationships begin to suffer as your mind wanders and your priorities change. As much as we can all admit to falling into this pattern, it is good to try and remain grounded. She may be the best thing in your life right now, but don’t forget the other things in your life.

It can be disappointing when the initial intense feelings you shared, fizzle out. It is hard to sustain a relationship. Some of you may be lucky enough to have developed the foundations of your relationship into a deeper, more respectful kind of contentment for one another. Perhaps even love. Long term relationships can be truly wonderful, being able to share your life, loves and future. The honeymoon period can last anywhere between two months through to two years. It depends on the dynamics of your relationship. Escorts London recognise that the secret to duration is trust, space and understanding. Living in each others pockets is inevitably going to be bad for you. She may make you smile and brighten up a bad day, but if you rely on her for too many things then you will begin to put a strain on your relationship. The same goes if she relies on you to much too. If after 6 months to a year, you decide to live with each other, this can solidify your relationship. However, you will be seeing her everyday, so make sure you still make time for yourself. Routine is a great thing to live by, for work and responsibilities. But if you start to live your relationship by the book then it can become dull all too quickly. Keep things sporadic with your partner, let the excitement live on even when you wash each others dirty underwear.

It’s important to keep the spark burning. It shouldn’t involve a great deal of effort, if something is becoming too much of an effort, then perhaps your heart isn’t in it anymore? Finding a balance and understanding of what you both want from each other and your own time is important. London escorts believe in the age old saying, ‘absence makes the heart grow fonder’. Spend time apart, see your friends and she should do the same. Immersing yourselves in other things that interest you will result in you missing each other. You’ll have lots to talk about when you do speak and appreciate all the things that you do for one another too. You’ll be surprised just how beneficial time apart is. Then, when you do see one another, or perhaps have an evening planned for just the two of you, make it known how much you have missed her. You don’t have to splash the cash, just tell her how you feel. Run her a bath with some candles or cook her dinner; little things make a big impact. Break the monotony of what can become mundane and everyday, if you let it. Understanding your feelings and making sure that your relationship doesn’t fizzle out will help you maintain a healthy and happy relationship.
