Meeting the right person can be an arduous and frustrating journey, and when you do find someone and you start dating, you're confronted with an entirely new set of expectations. Though every relationship has its own set of rules, there are eight phases that can give you an idea of what could occur in a dating relationship.
First Date
The first date is when the attraction between you and your partner occurs, and it can set the tone for the remainder of your dating relationship. People tend to approach first dates with caution, covering up overeagerness with a practiced cool that doesn't give too much away. In many instances, people on a first date tend to exaggerate about events in their life, and some may even lie to appear more attractive to the other person.
Honeymoon
The honeymoon phase is the time when everything you do with your new partner is fresh and exciting, and you get butterflies in your stomach when you think about them or you're together. In this phase, nothing about your partner seems to be wrong, and you'll tend to overlook imperfections and flaws because you're so eager to make things work.
Comfort
In the comfort phase, you've settled in enough in the relationship that you reveal some of your flaws and annoyances, and you get a chance to see things in your partner that slightly irritate you, such as leaving dirty dishes in the sink or not putting the top back on the toothpaste.
Extreme Comfort
By this point, you've given up on hiding your worse attributes, and so has your partner. If you're messy, you no longer try to clean things up, and you're less concerned about what your partner will think about some of your nastier habits. You notice that your partner isn't too concerned with concealing her bad characteristics either, and both of you may use the words, "This is how I am, take it or leave it," a lot more than you did when you first met.
Decline
At this point, you've started realizing that the things you thought were cute or adorable in your partner drive you absolutely crazy. Anything small can set you off and cause a big fight. Your partner doesn't look at you with puppy-dog eyes anymore, but rather with disgust. You're in the phase where everything about the other person is wrong, can't be fixed and grows worse every day.
The End
The ending phase of dating culminates in the breakup of the relationship. Regardless of who initiated the breakup, it can take awhile before things go back to normal, and you may experience feelings of anger, betrayal and jealousy when thinking about your former partner. You may even rebound straight into a new relationship, which can prove disastrous since you still haven't resolved your feelings regarding the previous relationship. This phase is often painful and messy, but it can give you much-needed perspective and a chance to learn things about yourself that can benefit your next relationship.
Reconciliation
The reconciliation phase can occur if you and your partner realize that despite your previous troubles, there was something special about your relationship that's worth a second try. This phase can be delayed in some cases by a new relationship that you or your former partner were involved with, which also can spur getting back together if that relationship was worse in comparison. It's important to know the reasons you're reconciling and to genuinely make an attempt to work out the issues that led to the split. Some couples reconcile because they're comfortable knowing they've experienced the worst of the other person and are willing to live with those flaws.
Marriage
Inevitably, the final phase of dating is getting married and starting a family. Having gone through all the troubles and heartache, committing to your partner may seem like a reward, but be aware that marriage brings its own trials and challenges, and there are more phases ahead in this new journey.
