The other person is desperate, and desperate people have less power.
To get to the medium, u have to start out equally. It may start with guy asking girl out, but he shouldn't spend so much on her...just a coffee. Next time a dinner. After that, she should pay on the 3rd date. If not, he don't need her. If girl wants the medium, she shouldn't give sex so soon. The longer, the better.
It's easy to get to the medium, but to get there, u lose a lot of people and spend a lot o time a lone.
Ideally a relationship is all about being vulnerable and open and yes that opens a person up to being hurt. hence, people pull back, stop really loving and in the end hurt themselves worse by isolation than they do from being hurt.
Relationships are a lot like sex - we tend to engage in sex naked, no protection, completely vulnerable. that is how both people in a relationship are supposed to approach it equally naked so to speak, equally vulnerable be being hurt.
Yes, you can seek a happy medium of holding back, of protecting yourself, but that is not the way to find true love. I am not saying you invest more trust in a new person than they deserve but I am saying that once a relationship is established you need to be willing to open up and be hurt o the other person will never get to see the real you and fall in love.
lol you need to stop watching movies. Oh and its because the person who cares more feels like they are worth more and are confused as to why this person would care less.
its not that they care less they just put a wall and they act that way so that they dont end up getting hurt, and eventually the one who cares more ofcourse isnt just going to sit there doing nothing they CARE and since the other person knows it theyll keep acting that way
