The Honeymoon Phase of New Romantic Relationships
During the early stages of a romantic relationship, often referred to as the "honeymoon phase," everything seems perfect. Emotions run high, and partners feel an intense connection. However, according to psychologists, our minds can play tricks on us during this period. Here are three common cognitive distortions that can occur: 1) Idealization of Your Partner: In the honeymoon phase, it's common to put your partner on a pedestal. You may overlook their flaws and focus only on their positive traits. This idealization can create an unrealistic image of who they are, making it difficult to see them objectively. Over time, as the relationship progresses, the idealized image may fade, leading to potential disappointment or conflict as you begin to see your partner's imperfections. 2) Confirmation Bias: Confirmation bias occurs when you selectively notice information that supports your existing beliefs and ignore evidence that contradicts them. During the honeymoon phase, you may pay more attention to signs that your partner is perfect for you, while dismissing any red flags or doubts. This bias can make it hard to assess the relationship accurately and may lead to ignoring potential issues that need to be addressed. 3) Emotional Hyperfocus: The intense emotions of the honeymoon phase can cause you to become hyper-focused on your partner and the relationship. This hyperfocus can lead to neglecting other important aspects of your life, such as friendships, hobbies, and self-care. While it's natural to want to spend a lot of time with a new partner, maintaining a balanced life is crucial for long-term relationship health. Understanding these mental tricks can help you navigate the honeymoon phase more effectively. By being aware of idealization, confirmation bias, and emotional hyperfocus, you can strive for a more balanced and realistic view of your partner and relationship. Recognizing these patterns allows you to build a stronger foundation for the future, beyond the initial rush of new love. Remember, the honeymoon phase is a beautiful and exciting time, but staying mindful of these psychological tendencies can help ensure a healthier, more enduring relationship. #romance #love #relationship #relationshipadvice #psychology #philosophy #learning #single

This whole matching with people and not talking has got to be the most stupid thing that's caught on to everybody. My new philosophy is that if I find I have matched with somebody whilst I've been away and not received a message from them is to simply unmatch them
I know this may seem stupid but it's a brilliant way not to end up wasting your time. If people cannot be bothered to message after matching then that already tells me they don't have any real interest in getting to know you and pursuing things. I'll always message anyone I've matched with from my... read more

Someone who truly likes you, friend, family or otherwise, won't be trying to change you. That is all 🙏🏽🌻
Edit : since people aren't understanding the basic meaning of this post. This is about people expecting and actively trying to change you. It is one's personal responsibility to change. Since, only you know what you've been through, and how much time you may need. Others cannot tell you how you... (edited) read more

I'm simply complex.
I desire deep mental/emotional connection and deep sexual connecfion, but if both of the 2 arent fit to my liking i will fade into the distance... guess I'm always seeking casual while deep down inside seeking more... anyone else like that?

..it's kind of, a weird question but I'll ask it anyway. Is it "normal" for a 22 year old to have never had a date before?.. I mean.. it's really getting on my nerves🙄😐

I like to game before meeting
I know it may sound weird but I prefer to see how interact online to see if it's worthwhile to make a trip for a date. I feel like people are more open with how they talk when nobody is physically in front of then.

Online dating overwhelming you?
I’ve always been on and off online dating just cause it’s so hard to manage!! Is it just me? 😭 Ngl I’m a bad responder to texts just cause I’m so busy in my irl life so I feel bad when I can’t reply back soon. I’m demisexual so it makes it hard to swipe on someone based on their profile. When I... read more

Does your potential partner have to be employed for them to be eligible to date you?
As yours truly’s stance on this matter? I don’t care if you are or not, living with your parents or not, nothing disqualifies you from being loved in my opinion. Just because times are tough it doesn’t mean you aren’t deserving of love. It wouldn’t bother me. …I just have to find someone to love... (edited) read more

Women like this are hard to find these days.❤️
Some men don’t understand the importance of having a good woman that genuinely cares for you. Not the sex, not the money, or anything material, but YOU! When she really likes you she will accept your flaws and do things to help you become a better man. Not because she wants something from you but... read more

Why do men have such difficulty expressing true intentions?

I get it’s either insecurity, or... read more
