Thoughts Part III

"A relationship is normally viewed as a connection between two individuals, such as a romantic or intimate relationship, or a parent-child relationship. These relationships usually involve some level of interdependence. People in a relationship tend to influence each other, share their thoughts and feelings, and engage in activities together. Because of this interdependence, most things that change or impact one member of the relationship will have some level of impact on the other member."

I believe that every girl has grown up with the fairy tale of the prince who will appear some day in her life. Hollywood pictures have contributed a lot to that direction. We daydream that he has good looks, wit and he can say the right words at the right time.
And then, the disappointment comes along because we realize that there is no such thing as prince. The question raises: which are our criteria? Because in any case we must have some idea of what we want, otherwise we will be always lost and in this case dating can be very frustrating. We should be able to put the pause for a while, sit back and see what is missing in the picture, so when we date again we will know better. The important is not to lose faith.
Because when something happens in your life that you consider it big, you will be more experienced and more aware and you won't repeat the mistake to fake the future to have the present..
I have a lot of confusion in my mind these days about how men and women relate with each other and I really want your comments for this article. Let’s help each other with our thoughts, our experiences, with a song, whatever every one can do, or feel.

So many things to get a grip and start commenting!!! First of all, never trust wikipedia 100%. With this said, I am ready to retire to my privates...

I am just kidding. I will start with a delicate word: criteria. There are no criteria as to what we want. We certainly stick to concepts, and characteristics we have heard from others (friends, family, colleagues) and from movies, which by the way have contributed way more than we can handle. We always tend to seize examples of others and complete the missing parts of our puzzle. Way way wrong. As we are said in chemistry, two elements under specific conditions tend to react in a specific way. If we change a single condition, we tend to change the reaction part in an unknown way. That is happening with the us. Criteria is something we don't know. We only heard them from others having relationships and we tend to embrace them as our own expecting to work as well.

I should probably stop and let someone else to comment.

Ok, I believe in chemistry and it does work until some point, then you have to use your brains and figure out how you want your relationship to evolve. You can’t let only the chemistry to do all the heavy work. Maybe the word criteria was too heavy,
I believe standard is a better word.
Thank you a lot
